Warren Behm Obituary
July 2, 1950 - June 28, 2025
Warren Robert Behm, 74, of Minocqua, WI, formerly of Strum, WI, unexpectedly went to his eternal home on June 28, 2025.
Warren was born on July 2, 1950 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin to Walter and Mildred Behm (nee Riemer). He graduated from Merrill High School and earned his bachelor's degree in Agricultural Business and Agricultural Education from UW-River Falls in 1972.
He married Mary Hirsch of Wausau, WI on October 21, 1972. They enjoyed a marriage of 52-plus years.
Following his graduation from college, Warren farmed with his dad in Merrill before beginning his teaching career at Shawano High School. He later worked with Farm Credit and as a vice-president for an Oconto Bank, Oconto, WI, before returning to teaching.
Warren spent the greater part of his career teaching Agriculture and serving as FFA Advisor at Eleva-Strum Central High School. During this time, he also coached both JV and Varsity football teams, leading them to several playoff appearances, a state runner-up title in Div 7 in 2006 and a state championship in 2007. He retired from teaching in 2013 and moved to Minocqua, WI to embrace lake life.
Warren is survived by his wife Mary, and two children, Jared Behm and Rani Behm, both of Eau Claire, WI. He is also survived by one brother, Ron (Gail) Gleason, WI, and two sisters Lois Oestreich, Wausau, WI, Kathy (Joe) Schiefelbein, Merrill, WI, sister-in laws, bother-in-laws, a very special niece, Lynn Grambort, Wausau, WI and many nieces and nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and one sister, Linda.
A funeral service was held on July 9, 2025 at Trinity Ev. Lutheran Church, Minocqua, WI with interment at Restlawn Memorial Park in Wausau WI. Arrangements were handled by Bolger Funeral Home. Memorials in Warren's honor will be used to establish an Agricultural scholarship at Eleva-Strum.
Warren's family would like to thank the Minocqua First Responders, police officers, and the emergency staff at Marshfield Medical Center-Minocqua for their dedicated care and compassion.
