In Loving Memory of Alan Keith Krasemann
Born September 21, 1936, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Elmer and Jeanette Krasemann, Alan Krasemann, lived a remarkable life defined by faith, family, music, craftsmanship, and dedication to his community.
He proudly served in the United States Air Force Reserve for eight years. A talented and accomplished musician, he formed a five-piece band in which he played accordion and trumpet. He also enjoyed playing the piano and organ. It was through music that he met the love of his life, Lois, when she auditioned for a position in his band as an accordion player. They were married on November 30, 1957, beginning a loving marriage that spanned nearly 69 years.
He learned the masonry trade as an apprentice under the guidance of his father, Elmer, developing the skills and craftsmanship that would become the foundation of his professional life. In 1961, he moved to Hernando County, Florida, where he and his father established Krasemann Construction. He went on to become a respected builder and commercial contractor in the community for many years, designing and constructing numerous custom homes and commercial buildings throughout Hernando County, including Pinebrook Regional Medical Center.
His commitment to Hernando County extended well beyond his professional accomplishments. He was deeply involved in community service and was an active member of the Kiwanis Club of Brooksville for many years. He was instrumental in establishing the club's Scholarship Committee for the American Youth Foundation and also served at the state level as District Trustee on the Florida Kiwanis District Foundation Board.
He was also involved in the formation of the Hernando Builders Association and served as its second president in 1978, helping to shape the local building industry.
His faith was an important part of his life. As a founding member of Christ Lutheran Church of Brooksville, he designed and built the church that stands today. In addition to his contributions as a builder, he generously shared his musical talents by serving as the church organist for more than 20 years. He was a man of strong faith who cherished his family and took great pride in the life they built together.
He leaves behind his beloved wife, Lois, with whom he shared nearly 69 years of marriage; his three children, daughter Elizabeth Scavuzzo (Chris), daughter Lori Krasemann Eppley (Kent), and son Mark Krasemann; six grandchildren, Kelsey Butler (Robin), Carter Bolesta (Daniela), Jaden Scavuzzo, Jenna Scavuzzo, Sarah Krasemann, and Emily Krasemann; and two great-grandchildren, Axl and Anya.
His legacy lives on through the many homes and buildings he created, the organizations and community he helped strengthen, the music he shared, the church he helped build, and, most importantly, the family he loved so dearly. He will be remembered for his dedication, generosity, craftsmanship, faith, and the lasting impact he made on the lives of so many.
He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
