So sorry for the loss of retired Police Officer John Krahn. I just read “Farewell To A Hero” in the Brookfield & Elm Grove newspaper.. I remember this tragic accident back in 2009. So sad. Heartfelt sympathies to the family.

John,
I will always miss our talks. It was always refreshing how optimistic you seemed to be after I told you about something that happened at work.
You were an amazing man, John Krahn.
I enjoyed hearing about Cyndi and Kaitlyn. I know how much you loved them both. I just wish we could have had more lunches together so I could have met them.
The world is losing since having lost you. We'd be better off if there were more men like you.
I'll think about you until I die.
I'll miss you John.
Your friend Forever,
John

Family & friends of John, my sincere condolences for John's death. My prayers will be with you.
I knew John through LE and became friends when I worked for Muskego PD. We were both cat lovers and I always enjoyed seeing his cat pictures and hearing stories about them.
He was a wonderful man and will always be remembered as a great man and a hero. Rest easy, brother,

So very sorry to hear about John. We used to work together. He was an outstanding cop and an even better man. Will never forget his laugh which I heard a lot of when we were together. So much fun was had. We sadly lost touch over the years but I’ll always treasure the times we had together.

I retired from Canadian Pacific railroad as a machinist. I remember what I read about this guy. He sacrificed his well being in an effort to help others in an unusual circumstance. I recall him being severely injured in doing so. He is a hero and should motivate others to help anyone in need. God bless John.

This is not goodbye hermano. I will see you again. You are now free from that broken body that has been holding you back. You have touched so many lives and you know I love you beyond words!
I miss you already brother!

My memories of John will always be “larger than life”. He was an incredible person who always put others first. I will miss hearing his voice on the other end.

John and his family lived 2 houses down from my childhood home. He was one of my babysitters way back when. Many fond memories. May he rest in peace.My condolences to his family.
