EDGERTON - Zane P.W. Reilly, age 25, of Edgerton, passed away on Tuesday, November 22, 2022, from injuries sustained in an accident in Sauk County.
He was born in Fort Atkinson on January 10, 1997, the son of James Reilly and Rebecca Slater. He was a 2015 graduate of Edgerton High School. During high school and first years after graduation he worked for Morrison's and then went to work for various companies in underground utility construction, most recently 5 Star Energy. Zane enjoyed working on trucks, cars, fishing, hunting, and helping all his friends with any project. He knew so much pointless things. He was a "Jack of all trades and Master of None" in anything, from construction, to mechanical work, to giving sound relationship advice. He was the hardest working person. He was an active member of Sundowners Snowmobile Club and enjoyed truck pulling.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Phillip Reilly; and an aunt, Julie Reilly.
