Kenneth Gerard Mohr passed away peacefully on April 16, 2025 with loved ones by his side. Ken was born to the late Clarence Mohr and Arlene Mohr on August 25, 1965. All through his life, he had a passion for fishing and was an avid outdoorsman. He was able to spend plenty of time outdoors hunting and fishing in between chores while growing up on the family farm by the Smoky HIll River. His life on the farm in his younger years cultivated his love for gardening as an adult, as he built a large raised bed garden in the backyard of his Springfield home.
He began his college career at Kansas State, then transferred to Washburn University where he earned a bachelor's degree in accounting. He remained a loyal Wildcat fan after leaving KSU.
Ken was a humble man who lead a simple life, always reaching out to help those in need. He had a strong work ethic and wasn't one to take responsibility lightly, continuing to work full time as the HyVee Deli Manager in Springfield even while undergoing cancer treatment.
He and his love, Audrey, were married for 11 years. The two of them enjoyed going to auctions while living in Topeka and finding a new flea market to explore. He cherished the time spent with his step-grandchildren, whether it was going fishing, walking at the Bass Pro Shop aquarium or riding the coasters at Silver Dollar City. He thoroughly enjoyed being their “Peepaw”.
Ken leaves behind his loving wife - Audrey Mohr, his mother - Arlene Mohr, siblings - Chris Mohr (Jeanette), Jerry Mohr (Carla), Beth Prendergast (David), eight nieces and nephews and one great-niece. His step-children-Dale Giermann Jr. (Megan), Sara Tressler (Joe), Lacy Giermann. Grandchildren-Stratton, Ari, Scarlett, Sutton and Charlie his dog.
