   Thomas M. Westimayer, 69, of Burnett, passed away Monday August 7, 2023, at Froedtert Hospital surrounded by his loving and caring family.   Tom was born March 16, 1954, in Beaver Dam to Anton and Helen (Marthaler) Westimayer. After graduating from Horicon High School in 1973, he began his lifelong career of 32 years of service at John Deere Horicon works, helping to keep the assembly line running by repairing their air wrenches and tools.   Tom enjoyed his country acreage and his many travels to northern Wisconsin. Hunting, fishing, camping, skiing, kayaking, and biking are some of the many things that Tom enjoyed. A favorite destination was going to Erine’s Cabin with many of his lifelong friends.   Tom had a gift for fixing things and loved putting it to use. The number of repaired cars, lawnmowers, trimmers, and chainsaws he serviced for his family and friends would boggle the mind!   Tom loved his family and enjoyed helping his kids and grandkids anyway he could. He was an awesome father, grandfather, and brother to his nine siblings. Tom’s kind heart and family values touched many lives. People, not things, were most important to Tom. Many people considered Tom to be “family”.   Tom will be deeply missed by his best friend and partner, Desiree Wild; his son, Dylan (Ally) Westimayer; stepchildren, Jason (Michelle) Briena Thompson, Shelly Thompson (Mataya, Chloe Welak), Jason (Sophia, Saischia, Esperanza, Serenity) Vasconelos; his mother, Helen; and siblings, Dave (Jane) Westimayer, Barb (Dale) Keach, Tony (Mary Kay) Westimayer, Patty Spettel (Gary), Susie (Jim) Schumacher, Sandy (Randy) Franke, Mike (Jodie) Westimayer, Jon Westimayer (Elizabeth), Kathy (Wes) Elford; granddaughter, Ella Westimayer; and also nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.   Tom was preceded in death by his father, Anton Westimayer.   A memorial gathering for Tom will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 29, from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. at the Koepsell-Murray Funeral Home, N7199 N.

Any remaining funds will be put into a college fund for his granddaughter, Ella.   Koepsell Funeral Home is caring for the family. www.Koepsellfh.com

   Daniel “Dan” Lyons, age 65, a longtime resident of Naperville, IL, passed away at home August 9, 2023, with his family at his side after a courageous fight from esophageal cancer diagnosed in October, 2022.   He was born on April 3, 1958, in Beaver Dam. He was raised in Horicon, and lived in Milwaukee, after college, moving to Indianapolis, IN, after his marriage and eventually settling in Naperville, IL, in 1992 where he raised his family.   Daniel is survived by his loving wife, Mary Lyons (nee Kuehnle) whom he married June 21, 1986, at Nativity Catholic Church in Dubuque, IA; father of his devoted sons, Michael (Barbara) Lyons from Atlanta, GA, and Sean (Kathleen) Lyons; and “Papa” to his adored grandchildren, Kaden and Ella from Mt. Juliet, TN; sister, Kelly Anderson from Horicon; brother, Patrick (Carol) from Hayward; nieces and nephews, Becca, Aaron, Jackson and Eljah Keneally, Luke, Melissa, Jonathon, and Grace Riehbrandt, Aubrey Anderson, Madalyn and Hunter Lyons.   He was preceded in death by his parents, Clifford and Carrie Lyons (nee Benter).   Dan was a lifelong lover of the outdoors, sports, and physical fitness. Growing up on the Horicon Marsh provided many opportunities for a “Tom Sawyer” childhood as Dan would say; hunting, fishing, and playing pick-up sports provided daily entertainment.   Dan graduated from Horicon High School and was the quarterback for the Marshmen football team, leading the school to its only undefeated season in the school’s history. He went on to graduate from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh with a Bachelor of Science degree where he continued to play football, was a member of the Letterman’s Club and the Conference Athletic Scholastic Honor Roll.   After graduation he became a Private Investigator for Wollermann & Corcoran, Inc. Investigative Services. Dan went on to a long career in consumer products as a Senior Manager of Category Management and Development for Unilever, Pactiv, Reynolds Consumer Products and Mead Johnson Nutrition, retiring in 2015 from corporate life. As a self-taught gym rat his whole life and continuing his passion for physical fitness and helping others to achieve their fitness goals, Dan returned to school to obtain his W.I.T.S certification as a Personal Trainer.    He loved his retirement job at the YMCA and was especially proud of his work with the youth and older clients as well until his final retirement in 2022. He continued to make it to the gym throughout his cancer journey which was a great source of pride and motivation for him. More than any job, Dan loved his family and never missed an opportunity to support and cheer for anything his sons were involved in from sports to academics to dancing. He cherished his newest title of Papa and couldn’t wait for each trip to Nashville to give his grandchildren all the attention he could. Dan also came to love summertime at their cottage on Frentress Lake, relaxing on the patio, taking boat rides on the Mississippi, and enjoying all the July 4th shenanigans. He was a member of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Naperville, IL.   For those who would like to leave a lasting tribute to Dan’s life, memorial donations may be directed to the Lyons Family Trust of 2012 toward an educational fund for his current and any future grandchildren or to the Illinois Conservation Foundation, (please indicate your intention in the memo). Dan’s family would like to thank the care teams at the Edward Hospital Cancer Center, the Northwestern Memorial Hospital Proton Center and Sun Crest Hospice for their care and support.   Visitation was held on Sunday, Aug. 13, from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Friedrich-Jones Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 44 S. Mill St., Naperville. Additional Visitation was Monday, Aug. 14, from 8:45 to 9:45 a.m. at the funeral home and process to St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, 1500 Brookdale Rd., Naperville, IL 60563 for a 10:30 a.m. Mass of Christian Burial.

He grew up on a small fam­ily farm out­side of Mayville, which in­stilled in him an in­cred­i­ble work ethic, love for the out­doors, and strong be­lief in faith, fam­ily, and friends. He was af­fec­tion­ately known as “Sonny” by his par­ents. Lloyd was united in mar­riage to his beloved Bon­nie Jean Schultz on Au­gust 18, 1973, at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Neosho. To­gether, they would work their own dairy farm, build a fam­ily, and cel­e­brate nearly 50 years of mar­riage.   Lloyd was an in­cred­i­bly de­voted hus­band, fa­ther, grand­fa­ther, and an amaz­ing ex­am­ple of hard work and quiet de­ter­mi­na­tion. Lloyd worked all his life to pro­vide for his wife, chil­dren, and grand­kids as a dairy farmer and, later in life, a metal fin­isher. He loved spend­ing time on the front porch with his wife, Bon­nie, lis­ten­ing to the “barn show” or Bob Uecker call­ing a Brew­ers game while look­ing at his well-main­tained lawn, marigolds, petu­nias, and rose bushes. He was an in­cred­i­bly tal­ented and ath­letic cross-coun­try run­ner be­fore grad­u­at­ing from Mayville High School in 1965. He will be re­mem­bered for his love of lemon torte, lemon bars, rasp­berry torte, re­ally any dessert, chicken spread, Amer­ica’s Fun­ni­est Home Videos, a Fri­day night fish fry, polka danc­ing, and a whiskey old fash­ioned. He loved Wis­con­sin sports teams, at­tend­ing hun­dreds of his kids and grand­kids sport­ing events, mu­si­cals, plays, tak­ing his grand­kids fish­ing on his boat, and play­ing sheepshead with his close cir­cle of friends. We will never for­get his jolly laugh, big heart, and will­ing­ness to give any mem­ber of his fam­ily the shirt off his back or last dol­lar in his wal­let. He was often a man of few words, but al­ways able to show his chil­dren and grand­chil­dren they were deeply loved with a sim­ple hug or a few words of en­cour­age­ment.    Lloyd is sur­vived by his wife, Bon­nie, of Mayville; four chil­dren, Joel (Chris) Kam­rath of Wa­ter­town, Jamey Kam­rath and Cleo Mueller (spe­cial friend) of Mayville, Benji (Melinda) Kam­rath of Wa­ter­town and Nicole (Adam) Oestre­ich of Mayville; 10 grand­chil­dren, Alexus, Han­nah, Colin, Brae­dyn, Pax­ton, Reece, Olivia, Brevon, Nahla, Sul­ley; his sis­ter, Kris (Jeff) Jaster of Theresa; as well as other rel­a­tives and friends.   He was pre­ceded in death by his par­ents, Hilbert and Elvira Kam­rath and his sis­ter, Diane Kam­rath.   Fu­neral ser­vices for Lloyd will be held at St. John’s Ev.

   Adrian "80" Carlos Geiger, lifelong resident of Theresa, passed away at the age of 75 at his home on June 24, 2023.    "80" was born in Madison to Albert and Anita (Pahnke) Geiger.    "80" grew up in Theresa and attended Theresa Public School and Mayville High School, graduating in 1966. After graduation, he started employment at the Gehl Company in West Bend. He worked there for 39 years until the Gehl Company ended production. He also worked for the SooLine Railroad and the Dodge County Housing as a maintenance man.    "80" and his wife bought and operated, along with their three children, "The Mart," on main street Theresa for numerous years. Fond memories were made for many people at "The Mart." He and his wife also bought a bar on main street Theresa, which was well known as "The Bear's Den," "Mark's Get-A-Way," "Fred's Garage," "Paliden's" and a few others. "80" was always searching for his next endeavour.    On November 25, 1967, "80" married Mary A. Klumpjan. They lived almost 56 years together, raising three model children, whom became his pride and joy.    He and his wife enjoyed many travels, including Hawaii (numerous times), Alaska, Mexico, Jamaica, Las Vegas, casino trips and many more.    "80" is survived by his devoted wife, Mary; his three children, Jill Geiger Firehammer - husband, Mike, Rick Geiger - wife, Terri Budahn Geiger, and Chad Geiger - wife, Laura Jewson Geiger; "Papa" to nine grandchildren whom he loved and was so proud of beyond words, Cindy Geiger Bottine - husband, Jeremy, Nick Geiger - wife, Ali Wittchow Geiger, Andrea Geiger - friend, Weston DeKoning, Natalie Geiger Wondra - husband, Dustin, Crystal Geiger, Nadean Geiger - friend, Drake Fleischman, Cole Geiger, Lacey Firehammer and Trent Vielbig; "Great Papa" to four great-grandchildren, Jaxon Bottine, Payton Bottine, Jaiden Firehammer and Trinity Firehammer. He is further survived by two brothers, one sister, three sisters-in-law, three brothers-in-law, and many nieces and nephews.    "80" was preceded in death by his father, Albert; his loving mother, Anita; his father-in-law and mother-in-law; and his precious great-grandchild of 45 days, his little angel, Alayna Bottine.    Remember "80" as a "go to man," a "Jack of all trades," a "fixer of everything," and mostly a loving husband, father, and especially a loving "Papa" to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.    Playing poker with his family and enjoying "salted in the shell peanuts" on the picnic table by the river were his special times. Per "80"s request, no visitation or funeral.  A private burial will be at a later date.
