“Big Jack” Beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and uncle, Jack Krahenbuhl, age 72, passed away peacefully December 6, 2005 at his home in Yuma, AZ. Born July 26, 1933 in Redondo Beach, CA to Herman and Mary Hafeli Krahenbuhl. Married Jean Christensen; later divorced. Jack served in the Navy during the Korean War. He owned and operated Big Valley Plumbing for over 20 years. He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing and camping—and especially his family and friends. His personality and demeanor will be dearly missed. Jack’s family loved him so much, and he was a great friend to so many. Jack’s boys are so grateful that their Dad taught them the value of hard work. As the years went by, the important things in life became so evident in Jack’s life. Even though he never complained, Jack was a fighter to the end. Survived by four sons: Jack (Jody), Jim (Kayleen), Jerry (Stacy), and Jordan; 13 grandchildren; 4 great-grandchildren; sister, Kathy Howard; brothers, Bob & John; many nieces and nephews.
