He attended East Blyville Country and St. Rose of Lima Schools. Konrad began farming at 9 years and farmed his entire life which included custom farming for over 70 years. His sense of humor and one-liners will be deeply missed by everyone. His last few years of farming took on a supervisory role as he gave free advice to anyone that listened. Konrad married Darlene Foxhoven on August 26th, 1959 in Constance, Nebraska and was a member of St. Rose of Lima Church.

He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Darlene Maibaum and his 8 children: Paul (Brenda) Maibaum, Jeff (Carla) Maibaum, Mike Maibaum, Mary (Jerry) Dittrich, Joseph (Laurie) Maibaum, Sandy (Jarod) Mellem, Nancy (Larry) Potts, and Bill (Andrea) Maibaum; 16 Grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren with one on the way; two sister in laws: Beat Poppe and Ruth Foxhoven and many nieces and nephews.

Konrad was preceded in death by his parents; infant grandson, Matthew Maibaum; his brother, Vern Maibaum and sister, Ann Maibaum Metz and many extended family members.
