Jeffery J. Wilson, age 66, of Kewaskum, Wisconsin, passed away Wednesday, February 22, 2023 at Aurora Health Center in Grafton, WI due to complications of lingering illnesses.
He was born in Milwaukee, WI on November 11, 1956; son of Phillip and Judith Bishop Wilson.
In 1985, Jeff moved to Kewaskum. He worked for many years doing auto body repair and referred to himself as a “body man”. He loved muscle cars and was very proud of his work. Russ Darrow and Raymond’s in Cedarburg were a few of his places of employment, amongst others throughout the area.
His kids and grandkids meant the world to Jeff. He was the kind of guy who would do anything for anyone. He loved talking and his voice could be heard over anything else going on.
Jeff enjoyed a good game of pool, classic rock of the 1970’s and 80’s and watching the Packers with family and friends.
He is survived by his children Jeffery Wilson of Fond du Lac, Jamie (Dale) Janus of Hartford and Jennifer (Christopher) Thomas of Saukville; eight grandchildren Breanna, Brooke, Tessa, Cody, Cole, Blake, Myles and JD; great-grandson Carsyn; his sisters Pam and Leslie, his brothers Scott, Buddy and Billy, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

To my brother, Jeff. You were bigger than life and I looked up to you so much even though I was a year older. You would do anything for your family and friends. I loved your laugh, you’d start to tell a joke and you couldn’t finish it because you would be laughing so hard. I knew I could count on you to help me with anything and there were times that you did. I know you loved your kids so much. I will truly miss you. I loved you so much!
Your sister, Pam
