In Memory of Victor Strauss March 25, 1950 – May 14, 2023
Victor grew up in Denver, Colorado along with his two brothers, Robert and Richard, and two sisters, Janet and Darlene. He was a lively and spirited young man who brought excitement to his family.
He joined the Navy at seventeen years old and was deployed to Vietnam as a boatswain mate. He served his country in Vietnam for two years. Upon returning home, Victor studied music in college which led him to play keyboard for several bands.
Victor loved the fourth of July and would splurge heavily on fireworks. It was on Independence Day in 1983 that he would meet his wife, Cynthia. Victor and Cynthia enjoyed about forty years together. He became a great stepfather to Cynthia’s sons, Joe, Robert, and Doug. He later became a grandfather to six grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
Victor will be laid to rest in Golden, Colorado.
