On Thursday, April 19, 2019, Leigh Kreter – husband, father, brother, grandfather, friend – passed away on his 64th birthday, after a short battle with cancer.
He will be remembered by his wife and family as a jack-of-all-trades, but his true passion was driving truck. Through this passion, he met his wife Dianna of 22 years, and they made their home in Harmony, Minn. Through their union, Leigh’s five children and Dianna’s four children were merged into one family.
Leigh is survived by his wife Dianna Kreter and children: Eric (Sara) Kreter, Nicole Kreter, Tyrel (Rinnea) Kreter, Michelle (Jesse) Mayzlik, and Brian Kreter. He is survived by his step-children: TJ Iwanski, Jennifer (Gavin) Wangen, Teresa (Brian) Michel, and Ashely Iwanski (Matthew Sullivan). He is also survived by his brother Daniel (Jeanne) Kreter-Killian. He passed away leaving 20 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and two nieces.
He is preceded in death by his parents Paul and Marge Kreter.
Visitation will be held April 22, 2019, from 4-7 p.m. at Lindstrom Funeral Home in Harmony.
Memorial service will take place Tuesday, April 23, 2019, at 11 a.m. at Lindstrom Funeral Home, with additional visitation one hour prior to service.
