Louis Vincent Koenig, a beloved family man and passionate gamer, departed for his eternal rest on Oct. 2, 2025 at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Hermiston at the age of 65. In his final moments, he was surrounded by the warmth and love of those closest to him.
Born on Aug. 22, 1960 in Falls City, Neb., Louis was the cherished son of Marion and Reba Koenig. He lived a life filled with joy, whether it was in the company of family or friends, cultivating his garden, enjoying a round of disc golf, or diving into creative DIY projects around the house. He lived most of his life in Hermiston. He worked at Shari’s restaurant for over 20 years, first as a cook and then as a manager. He recently retired from Keystone RV in Pendleton, having worked there for over 10 years. For over 25 years, he was married to his wife, Sherrie.
Louis is remembered fondly by his two sons, Brandon and Gary; his daughter, Brooke; and his two stepchildren, Dani and Jason. He leaves behind a legacy of love and connection including his two sisters, Marian and Marijane; three brothers, Robert, Ronnie (Wanda), and Chris; as well as several cherished grandchildren, nieces, and nephews throughout Oregon.
He was preceded in death by his loving parents; grandmother (Mary); and brother (Steven).
Following his wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no memorial service at this time, allowing his family to hold onto the precious memories they created together. Louis’s spirit will undoubtedly live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
