Kenneth Wishowski Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 12, 2025.
Kenneth J. Wishowski, known to many as "Chevy Ken", passed from this world on October 9th, 2025, in Early, TX.

Kenneth was born on May 7th, 1946, in Green Bay, WI to Joseph and Helen Wishowski, although he spent most of his life living in and around Milwaukee, WI.

Kenny married the love of his life, Jane, on June 3, 1972. They went on to have 3 children, Neil, Katie, and Jackie.

His greatest passions in life were automobiles, racing, baseball, and music. He greatly enjoyed drag racing with his son and daughter-in-law team, NTK Racing, at Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, WI.

He held near encyclopedic knowledge of classic rock music and artists, and was a daily listener and frequent supporter of WMSE 91.7FM.

Kenneth is preceded in death by his sister, Norma. He is survived in death by his wife of 53 years, Jane Wishowski, son Neil(Tammy) Wishowski, daughter Katie(Josh) Wishowski, and daughter Jackie(Chris) Edens, as well as his grandchildren Leo and Nova, and his step-grandchildren Lindsey and Layne.

At his request, there will be no services for Kenny, but if you would like to celebrate his life, he would have loved it if you would put on some oldies, and have a shot of brandy. Brownwood -
