David Lee Krueger of Blanchard, Oklahoma, passed away Sunday, April 14, at the age of 71. Born in Shawnee, Oklahoma, on September 6, 1952. He was the son of Edward Johnny Krueger and Violet Mae (Hunter) Krueger.

After graduating from Newcastle High School, he attended OCU and graduated with a master’s degree. He worked at AT&T for many years, eventually leaving there to start his own business.

He also raised miniature horses that he loved and enjoyed.

David did volunteer work and was ringing the bell for Salvation Army many times during the Christmas holidays. Christmas was always a very special time for him. He was always gathering and delivering packages and playing Santa to the nieces and nephews.
