John D. Krayer, of Brighton, passed away peacefully on June 15, 2018, at the age of 82.
Born on September 29. 1935, John was the son of Gertrude and Joseph Krayer, who were first generation immigrants originally from Mendig, Germany. John grew up in Detroit and attended St. Francis De Sales Catholic School and went on to the University of Detroit High School and the University of Detroit College. John continued his education at the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in Chicago where he graduated with honors with a Podiatry degree. John also joined the Army Medical Corps and was attached to the Michigan National Guard. He later opened his own Podiatry practice with offices in Brighton and Livonia. John loved his profession, and he took joy in helping others. He served his community as a foot doctor for over 40 years. John married the love of his life Frances Marie Bowlin on September 7, 1963, and they were blessed with four wonderful children and ten amazing grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Frances, their children: John (Michele), Julie (Steve) Reinke, Joe (Jessica), and Connie (Kirk) Ciak. In addition to his sons and daughters John is survived by his grandchildren, Trevor, Jack, Tyler, Austin, Dylan, Janina, Jennika, Paul, Gillian, and Charlie. John is also survived by his dear sister, Mary Ann Schils.
We were very blessed to have such a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. John was a devout Catholic and loved his church and faith and we know he is in heaven and at peace.
