Kenneth L. Brockmeier

Kenneth L. Brockmeier passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on June 6, 2026. Born in St. Louis, MO March 25, 1937 to Walter Brockmeier and Clara (nee Shook) Brockmeier.

Loving husband to Louise (nee Hammer) Brockmeier. Devoted father to Brian Contestabile. Adoring grandfather of Ariana. Dear brother of Vincent (Sharon) Brockmeier. Dear uncle to Beth Hoffmann and Cathie (Monte) Krueger. Dear great-uncle to Brock and Tom (Meredith) Krueger. Brother-in-law to Jim Hoffmann and Carol Damewood. He was also a dear cousin and friend to many.

Along with his parents, Kenneth is preceded in death by his first wife Sharon (nee Kissling) Brockmeier, sister Janet Hoffmann, and brother-in-law Lowell Damewood.

His first love was for his family and friends, proudly spending much time throughout his life with his wife and son, and granddaughter in his later years. His greatest accomplishments were being a husband, father, grandpa and uncle.

Kenneth was a dedicated newspaper carrier for the St. Louis area for nearly 50 years, with countless hours of rolling and throwing the daily news. Loved hobbies included being a long-term member of the Italia-America Bocce Club, spending time on the golf course with his best of friends, volunteering with the Men’s Club at Epiphany Catholic Church and Maplewood Lions Club helping with many barbecue events, and relaxing with friends at his favorite watering hole, Babe’s tavern. He also spent many hours working around the house, including gardening, planting, and proudly maintaining his home and vehicles.

Thank you to our beloved caregivers, past and present, for the love and patience you have given to Ken and Louise through this time.
