  • Full Obituary

    Christopher A. Lohmann, 54, of Collinsville, passed away on Wednesday, May 4, 2022, at his home in Collinsville, IL.

    Chris was born September 7, 1967, in Springfield, IL, to August and Ruth (nee Genetti) Lohmann.

    Chris grew up in Collinsville, attending Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic grade school and graduating from Althoff Catholic High School.  He spent many years living in Colorado with his dog, Mountain.  While there, he became an apprentice with the Carpenter’s Union and began his career in construction carpentry, building lodges and doing bridge work.  He eventually moved back to Collinsville.  Along with carpentry work, he was a maintenance technician for various housing complexes.  By far, his favorite place of employment was at the Apartment Community of Our Lady of the Snows, where he was well-loved by the residents there who were quick to tell the incoming new residents to be sure to have Chris be the one to hang their pictures and handle their repairs!  Chris also aspired to be a master gardener and loved creating his raised-bed gardens and meticulously composting, even raising his own worms!  He religiously followed the Farmer’s Almanac, and the “Complete Book of Composting” was like his second Bible!  Chris loved his family, was very proud of his son, and will be missed by all.

    He was preceded in death by his grandparents; Julia and John Genetti, and August and Elizabeth Lohmann.

    Chris is survived by his wife, Jenifer Lohmann; parents, August and Ruth Lohmann; son, Charlie Lohmann; sister, Susan (Jim) Kuca; nephews, August Kuca, and Alex Kuca; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and loving friends.

    In lieu of flowers, the family requests Masses, or memorial donations may be made to Ss. Peter & Paul Catholic Church.
