On Monday, March 4, 2024, Virginia-DC Soccer Hall of Fame member, Ken Krieger, passed away at the age 69.

 

He succumbed to Alzheimer’s, a dreaded disease that robbed him of his mind, then shut down his body.

 

Ken Krieger will be missed by so many — players, teammates, coaches, colleagues, and friends whose lives he touched.  

 

He will be missed by his loving son and daughter, Kyle, and Ali Krieger. 

 

Rest in Peace, Ken Krieger. Thank you for the countless hours of dedication and love you put into the game of soccer. We will miss you.
