Jeffry "Jeff" Louis Ginter

Jeffry Louis Ginter, 65, of Somerset, WI, passed away peacefully on October 14, 2023. Born on February 11, 1958, in Dubuque, Iowa, Jeffry was the loving husband of Patty (Olson) Ginter and the devoted father of Nicole (Nick) Arachikavitz and Kally Ginter. Kalypsa Arachikavitz, Jeff's first grandchild, was born 10 days after his passing.

Jeffry brought calmness, laughter, and his talent for fixing anything wherever he went. He was known for his charitable nature and enjoyed helping others. Above all, he was an exemplary family man who placed the love for his wife and children above everything else.

Jeffry had a deep appreciation for the outdoors and enjoyed various activities such as camping, boating, fishing, waterskiing, and archery. His love for hunting eventually transformed into a passion for shooting at a gun range. He formed a unique bond with the animals in his woods, considering them pets. It was a common sight to find him in the front yard, feeding the deer corn from his hands. In the winter months, he liked to travel to warm destinations, preferably near water.

In addition to his immediate family, Jeffry is survived by his mother, Elaine (Heller) Ginter, and his siblings: Ron (Judy) Ginter, Greg (Monica) Ginter, Mike Ginter, Jan (Tony) Thilges, Steve (Julie) Ginter, Mary Dehn, and Tom (Tana) Ginter. He also left behind many nieces and nephews who adored him. Jeffry was preceded in death by his father, Gene Ginter, and his nephew, William Ginter. A big part of Jeffry's life, for more than 40 years, were his in-laws. Patty's sisters are Tammy (John) Seibel, Brenda (Tim) Winters, Renee (Chris) Paluck, and Susie (Jim) Burant. Jeff is survived by his mother- in- law, Elaine Beauvais and her many grand and great grandchildren. Jeffry was preceded in death by his father-in law, David Olson and his nephew Shay Tilander.

A funeral service honoring Jeffry's life will be held at Saint Anne's Catholic Church, located at 141 Church Hill Rd. Somerset, WI 54025. On December 7th a visitation will take place from 10:00 am to 11:00 am, followed by a Mass from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm.
