In Loving Memory of Dennis Krueger
Burleson County, TX — A wave of sorrow has swept through the Somerville community after the Burleson County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that 45-year-old Dennis Krueger, who had been missing since October 12, has been found deceased. His body was located on Friday, October 31, with the assistance of Texas Search and Rescue, bringing heartbreaking closure to a search that many hoped would end differently.
Dennis was last seen in the 300 block of Raiders Road in Somerville. For weeks, loved ones, volunteers, and community members came together in hope — sharing his information, looking for any sign, and holding on to the possibility of his safe return. However, the announcement of his passing has left many heartbroken, stunned, and grieving deeply.
Sheriff Bill Rios expressed gratitude to those who helped, stating:
“We want to thank everyone who shared our post and provided information regarding Mr. Krueger. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to the members of Texas Search and Rescue, whose efforts were instrumental in locating Mr. Krueger.”
At this time, the sheriff’s office has not released further details, giving space for the family to process this tragic loss in privacy and peace.

Those who knew him remember a man with a gentle heart, a steady presence, and a spirit that valued the people around him.
He had a way of making others feel cared for — whether through conversation, shared time, or simply showing up when he was needed. He laughed easily, worked hard, and lived in a way that reflected loyalty, love, and sincerity.
