James Hoemke Obituary
Hoemke, James D. "Jim"
MADISON - James D. "Jim" Hoemke, age 73, of Madison, passed away on Wednesday, May 5, 2021. He was born on March 23, 1948, in Madison, the son of Carl and Evelyn (Brooks) Hoemke.
Jim graduated from Monona Grove High School. He married Kathy Hoemke on Aug. 25, 1973, in Milwaukee. He worked as an assistant vice president of commercial lending for Anchor Bank, retiring in 2010.
Jim was a loving and great husband, wonderful father and an awesome grandfather. His hobbies were fishing, boating, golfing, and traveling. Jim enjoyed being at his cabin and taking out his boat. He loved to be outdoors, watching wildlife and walking his grand-puppies. Most of all, Jim cherished spending time with his family and watching his grandson's sporting events. He was an avid Packers and Badgers fan.
Jim is survived by his wife, Kathy; children, Heather Hoemke and Bryan (Sarah) Hoemke; two grandchildren, Damon and Aiden Hoemke; and brother, Jack Hoemke. He was preceded in death by his parents; and sister, Carolyn Bailey.
