Location: San Antonio, Texas

"utilized his civil engineering degrees and his natural artistic ability..."

Rudolph (Rudy) Charles Krisch III went to his Lord on June 25, 2017. He was born in San Antonio, Texas, on January 6, 1937. He was preceded in death by his wife Jean Mayer Krisch, sons Rudy IV and Trevor Krisch, and his mother and father Rudy Jr. and Lucille Stewart Krisch.

He is survived by his son Stewart (Rhonda) Krisch, friend Annell Thompson, grandsons Rud (Lauren) and Cody (Katie) Krisch (mother Dana Schweers Krisch), granddaughter Courtney (Ryan) Odell, great-grandchildren Briley and Brinley Krisch and Griffin and Blake Odell, sister Nora (Al) Shire and nephew Alfred Shire.
Rudy led the family construction business his father started in 1927, which is celebrating its 90th year. He has successfully run Krisch Construction throughout the years with the assistance of his sons and grandsons. He utilized his civil engineering degrees and his natural artistic ability in his work to help beautify San Antonio. There are very few places you can go in SA and not see his legacy and work including the River Walk, the museums, the missions and many parks across the city.

Rudy was a Scout Master for over 30 years, leading all three sons to the rank of Eagle Scout. He had a positive impact on many other lives throughout his years in scouting. Rudy was a Patron member of the National Rifle Association, a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, Sons of the American Revolution, Descendants of Mexican War Veterans, Military Order of the Star and Bars, Texas A&M Corps of Cadets Association, San Antonio Living History Association, Texas State Rifle Association, and Chi Epslon Civil Engineering Fraternity. He was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Boerne.

He was a 1954 graduate of Jefferson High School and graduated from Texas A&M in 1961. Rudy loved Texas A&M Football and the Corps of Cadets and was proud to be a Texas Aggie.

He loved his family, along with nature and animals and was an avid historian. Rudy participated and helped lead numerous historical reenactment groups from the Texas Revolution and Civil War to World War II. He could often been seen defending the Alamo for tourists.

Rudy learned the value of hard work from his father and he learned to dream from his mother. His passing left a tremendous void in the lives of those that knew and loved him. They find solace in the knowledge that Rudy is in the hands of his lord.

A visitation will be held on Friday, June 30, 2017 from 6:00 to 8:00 at Porter Loring on McCullough.

A service will be held on Saturday, July 1, 2017 at 10:00 am at Porter Loring on McCullough with interment to follow at Locke Hill Cemetery.
