Jacob Harshbarger Obituary

Jacob Harshbarger

Fox Lake - Jacob A. Harshbarger, 29, of Fox Lake, passed away on Wednesday, August 28, 2019, one day short of his 30th birthday. He was born on August 29, 1989 in West Bend, Wisconsin, the son of Rick Harshbarger and Cathi Radtke. Jake graduated from Dodgeland High School in 2008. He proudly served our country in the United States Marine Corps from 2008 until 2012. Jake married Brittany Sennhenn on August 26, 2017 and he worked at Alliant Energy as a Lineman. Jake loved to be out on the water boating. Running across the lake to do a shake of the day run. He also enjoyed fixing things or building things. He often would refer to himself as a certified YouTube mechanic. Jake also enjoyed hunting. Jake always knew how to bring a smile to everyone's face. He most of all enjoyed spending time with his friends and family.

Jake worked with me and my crew when he was an apprentice at Alliant Energy. Our crew worked out of the Verona Office. His wonderful smile and sense of humor will be sorely missed. I will be making a contribution to the Wounded Warriors project as per the family request.
