Paul Eugene Krob, 82, of Marion, Iowa passed away peacefully at the MeadowView Memory Care Center on July 13, 2025.
Paul was born on March 9, 1943, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to Frank and Marguerite Krob. He grew up in Cedar County. He graduated from Lisbon High School in 1960. After high school he worked on the farm with his father, Frank. He also owned Best Oil Company in Lisbon. He later started his own business, Paul’s Auto Sales. He loved restoring and repairing vehicles, especially old ’55 and ’57 Chevys. He especially enjoyed the time he spent working alongside his son Eric on their projects. He eventually went on to work for Quaker Oats until his retirement.
Paul loved the Lord and was a faithful member of Community Bible Church in Mount Vernon for many years. He enjoyed his growth groups and always volunteered to help with any project or activity that he could. He was known for his big caring heart and smile. He loved to drive his tractor for hayrack rides for church festivities, as well as any chance he had to be in a local parade. He would love to spend free time at car shows and always loved the chance to talk about cars. Another love he had was going on annual fishing trips with his family and friends. He was very patient and enjoyed the time on the water.
Paul married Sally Teague on October 21, 1966, and they had three children, Eric, Amy and Brenda. He enjoyed his family time, and his body shop allowed him to always be around for that. They later divorced and Paul then married Carol Smith.
Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Marguerite Krob; sister, Elaine (Bob) Henik; and sister-in-law, Virginia Krob.
He is survived by his brothers, Richard Krob and John Krob; son, Eric (Stacy) Krob; daughters, Amy (Jim) Tindal and Brenda (Jeremy) Krob; and twelve grandchildren.
Visitation will be held from 10 – 12:00 p.m. on Monday, July 21, 2025, at Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services, Mount Vernon. A private family burial will immediately follow.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Jessica & Friends Community in honor of his niece, Jessica.
The family would like to thank all the wonderful staff at MeadowView Memory Center for loving and caring for Paul the past 3.5 years.
