John B. Koenig, 84, of Sun City Center, Florida, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 30, at HCA Florida South Shore Hospital, in Sun City Center, Florida.
John was born May 7, 1939, in St. Louis, Missouri. He was predeceased by his parents, Albert Joseph Koenig and Irene Katherine Houston, and his siblings, Judy, Irene, Melba, Dorothy and “Bud.” He is survived by his wife of 22 years, Kathryn Mudd; his two children, Susan (Will) Clark and Joseph (Wendy) Koenig; and three grandchildren, Maggie Koenig, Merit Clark and Anna Clay Clark. He also is survived by two stepsons, Ken and Denny Mudd, from Louisville, Kentucky; along with many nieces and nephews from St. Louis, Missouri, to whom his affection extended throughout his entire life.
John attended Bishop Dubourg High School in St. Louis, Missouri. He joined the United States Air Force where much of his time was spent at Vandenberg Air Force Base. He earned the Good Conduct Medal prior to his honorable discharge. In 1971, Kentucky Governor Louie Nunn commissioned him as a Kentucky Colonel. Shortly thereafter he was awarded Honorary Captain Belle of Louisville. John retired from Sears after many years of service.
He kept busy in his retirement, becoming a Kentucky real estate agent. During that time, he met his wife Kay and moved to Florida. For the next 22 years, John enjoyed fishing, golfing and traveling on cruise lines with his wife Kay. He could always be found at his television set whenever a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game was being played. He was loved by all who knew him, and he will be greatly missed.
There will be a private graveside burial at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida.
