William Horn Obituary

Horn, William "Bill" Michael William "Bill" Michael Horn, 67, returned to his heavenly home on Sunday, May 13, 2018. His devotion to his family and his firm belief in God was an example for all who knew him. He was born to the late Dick and Dotty Horn in Muskego, Wisconsin on August 26, 1950. Bill attended school in Muskego through high school and furthered his education at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, graduating with a bachelors degree in education. He taught for 1 year in Beloit, Wisconsin. When his father, Dick Horn, asked him to join the family business, loyal, hardworking Bill did not hesitate to devote himself to Horn Bros., Inc. Bill lived to watch his children and grandchildren play their many sports. Over the years he also influenced young lives coaching baseball and basketball for various teams at St. Paul's and in the community. Bill was blessed with a large and loving family. He married his high school sweetheart, Denise (nee Geboy) Horn on August 11, 1973. Bill helped raise his three boys with patience, discipline, and humility. He instilled in them his love for God, family, and sports. Bill was kind and soft spoken and never missed an opportunity to give someone his undivided attention. He is dearly missed by his loved ones, who celebrate the fact that he is at peace with his creator. Bill is survived by his wife, Denise; his sons Brian (Laura), Dan (Jamie), and Kurt Horn. Loving Poppy to his grandsons Bradyn, Ben, Mason, Chase, and Joey, and his granddaughter Breann. Bill is further survived by his sister Patty (Jerry) Hulbert, and his younger Bob (Joan) Horn. He will also be forever remembered and adored by his nieces, nephews, extended family, and life-long friends. A celebration of Bill's life will be held on Friday, May 18, at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, S66 W14325 Janesville Rd. in Muskego. Visitation will be held from 4-7 PM with a service to follow. Private interment on Saturday, May 19 at 10 AM. Memorial donations in memory of Bill may be made to St. Paul's Lutheran School.
