Jeffrey Carl Koske, age 63, passed away on Friday March 24, 2023, after a fiercely fought 3+ year battle with lung cancer.

Jeffrey was the youngest, born on November 20, 1959 to the late Alice (Berg) and Paul Koske in Advance, WI. Being the baby of the family, his youth was spent getting into trouble and living life on the edge partying every chance he could. He had a kind and easy-going soul with the most beautiful eyes and a smile that melted hearts. He attended Bonduel School. He loved the outdoors and spent every free minute he could fishing, sitting in front of the campfire, mud running on his 4-wheeler, kayaking, doing yard work or just plain sitting in the sun watching everything around him with a peaceful and content smile on his face. The exception, of course, when Dale Earnhardt was in a race or the Packers were playing, he would be glued to the TV cheering (or yelling) at his Champs.

Jeff's career was that of a Laborer, starting early at the once known, 3'D Fire apparatus, Warvel Products in Gillett, Aarrowcast in Shawano, and the final years at Saputo in Lena aside his sons, who along with their sisters, were Jeff's pride and joy. If ever a man loved his kids to the fullest, Jeff would be at the top of that list. He is blessed with four children, Tammy (James Hamilton), Codie (Krista), Tyler (Hailey) and Heather (Cody) Koske and ten grandkids, Vanessa, Noah, Erika, Dylan, Elliot, Lincoln, Delilah, Holdon, Haydon, and Daisy.

He is further survived by brothers, Vernon (Maryann), Dick (Nancy), Randy, Steve (Veronica), Mark (Terry), sister in law Darlene, and the mother of his children Brenda.

He was proceeded in death by his parents, sister Mabel, brother Gary, and sister in law Peggy.

Visitation will be at Swedberg-Wendt Funeral Home at 251 S. Cecil St. in Bonduel on March 31, 2023 at 12:30pm until the time of service at 2:00pm with Deacon Rob Hendricks officiating. A sharing of Jeff's antics, pranks and memories will follow so please bring some good ones. I know he will be watching with that devilish smirk on his face. Spring burial will be at St. Martin Catholic Cemetery in Cecil.

Jeff wishes to express his sincere thanks, love and gratitude to Veronica and Steve for caring for and keeping him safe during the worst times in his life. A special thank you to the wonderful staff of Unity, but especially Nurse Amanda, who guided us all with great compassion and grace.

Jeff, we love you wholeheartedly and will miss your smile, wit, humor, and charm and will forever remember your strength and spirit through this journey called Life. God Speed Little Brother.
