Herb Krumsick Death, Obituary: The Wichita community is deeply saddened by the reported passing of Herb Krumsick, a true giant in commercial real estate and a beloved mentor, colleague, and friend to many. With a career that spanned more than five decades at J.P. Weigand & Sons, Herb’s name became synonymous with integrity, excellence, and generosity — qualities that defined both his professional success and his personal life.
Over his remarkable career, Herb completed more than $1 billion in commercial real estate transactions, a testament not only to his unmatched expertise but also to the trust and respect he earned throughout the region. Yet, what set Herb apart was never just his accomplishments, but his spirit — his warmth, humor, and his genuine interest in helping others succeed. Whether through a firm handshake, a story shared over coffee, or a piece of sage advice offered at just the right time, Herb made everyone around him feel seen, valued, and capable.
A proud leader and mentor, Herb played a pivotal role in shaping the future of the industry through his long-standing involvement with the WSU Center for Real Estate and as a recipient of the Kansas CCIM Lifetime Achievement Award. He was known for his tireless commitment to education and mentorship, having delivered more than 300 speeches and presentations that inspired countless real estate professionals to pursue excellence with heart and purpose.
Many will remember his legendary presentation, “Secrets to Success by Herbert,” delivered nearly a decade ago at a WICRE event — a talk that perfectly captured his wisdom, humor, and infectious enthusiasm for life and work. Herb had a rare ability to mix business insight with compassion, leaving every audience not only more knowledgeable but more hopeful and inspired.
Beyond his professional legacy, Herb will be remembered as a man of deep character and kindness. He was devoted to his family, friends, and community — always quick with a smile, a good story, or a word of encouragement. His generosity extended far beyond the boardroom, touching lives across Wichita and beyond.
As we mourn his passing, we celebrate the extraordinary legacy he leaves behind — one built on mentorship, integrity, and love for both people and his craft. The Wichita commercial real estate community, and indeed all who knew him, have lost not just a legend, but a friend.
Rest in peace, Herb Krumsick. Your vision, wisdom, and kindness will continue to inspire generations to come. 🤍
