Douglas Allen "Doug" Teisl

Doug Teisl, 74, longtime resident of Big Bend, Wisconsin, passed away on April 10, 2024. He was born on January 2, 1950, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and raised in Muskego, Wisconsin. Doug is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Marge (nee Gumieny), and his children Becca (Mike) Kempfert, Bradley, and Lindsay (Jeff) Grant. He adored his grandchildren Natalie, William, Jaxon, Lila, Jay, and Gretchen. Also survived by his brother Steve Teisl. He will be fondly remembered by countless family members, friends, and neighbors.

Doug was preceded in death by his parents Tony and Betty Teisl, his sister Kathy Teisl, his in-laws Elmer and Dolores Gumieny, and his sister-in-law Kate Teisl.

Doug attended Muskego High School, graduating in 1968. He served an apprenticeship with Steamfitter's Union 601 and worked as a refrigeration fitter until multiple sclerosis began to limit him physically. He went on to lead a fulfilling life surrounded by his loving family, never giving up despite the multitude of health obstacles placed in his way. Metastatic bladder cancer and its subsequent treatments proved to be too much for his already weakened body. A Celebration of Life will be planned for a future date to honor and remember Doug.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the National MS Society or ProHealth Care Foundation (designation ProHealth AngelsGrace Hospice) in memory of Doug Teisl. Many individuals were instrumental in helping Doug stay in his home as long as possible; special thanks to Nicole and surrounding neighbors for all the help around the house and the occasional rescue. Additional thanks to the staff at the Clinical Cancer Center at Froedert Hospital, the home care team from Aurora Health, and the exceptional caregivers at AngelsGrace Hospice.
