Myron was a lifelong Farmer, living on and farming the ground of his maternal family's Century Farm. He and his brother Duane worked side by side for many years taking care of their various farms and the livestock they raised.

Myron was an avid gardener with a huge sweet corn patch and numerous other garden plots around the farm. His family was often willingly recruited to help plant and harvest the multitude of crops. He passed on his knowledge and words of wisdom to his daughters and grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Aneta Krotz; brother, Duane Krotz; nephews, Daniel and William Krotz; and brothers-in-law, Walter Fritz, Ron Stuckey and Wendell Hogan.

Myron fought a courageous battle with cancer. He passed away on February 19, 2022, surrounded by his family.
