Jeffrey Capelle Obituary
Jeffrey M. Capelle, 54, of Fond du Lac, died Thursday, September 7, 2017, unexpectedly in his sleep.
He was born on September 4, 1963, in Fond du Lac, a son of James and Sharon Junaitis Capelle.
Jeff graduated from L.P. Goodrich High School in 1982. He attended Moraine Park Technical College Culinary Arts Program from 1982-1984. He considered it a great privilege to take over the family restaurant Capelle's Anchor Inn from 1984-1989. He then worked at Waupun Correctional in food service and then transferred to Dodge Correctional to work as the Food Service Administrator.
Jeff was a follower of Jesus. His faith was important to him. He kept it personal, but displayed it in his actions daily.
Jeff was a wonderful father, brother, son and a friend to many. He dedicated the last few years of his life to caring for his parents. Jeff had a way with people that would make them feel welcomed in any situation. He was always making us laugh.
Jeff is survived by three children: Craig (Kaely), Brent and Kayla Capelle; the mother of his children, Barb Capelle; his parents, Jim and Sharon Capelle; his brothers and sisters: Rick (MaryRose) Capelle, Michael (Karen) Kraus, Wendy (Bob) Kretschmann, Jim Capelle, Kyle Capelle and Kara (Dave) Launders; many nieces and nephews and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Victor and Mary Capelle, Matthew and Antonia Junaitis.
VISITATION: Friends may call from 4:00 -8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 12, 2017, at Kurki-Mach Funeral Chapel & Crematory, 31 East Division Street, Fond du Lac.
There will be a private family service and burial at St. Charles Cemetery.
A memorial in Jeff's name is being established.

I have had the pleasure working with Jeffrey over the last 20 years. He always spoke so highly of his family, especially his children. I will miss our many conversations and his jokes. He will be sorely missed at Universal Poultry. My deepest condolences to his family. Rest easy Jeffrey.

There are no words to lose a son unexpectedly
there are no words to lose a dad to early and there are not words to lose a friend too soon. Jeff was all of those amazing individuals and he will be missed so much. Our sympathy to the family and friends in losing such an amazing individual. Our own tears mask the sorrow we feel
