Christopher R. Fockler, age 32, of Green Bay, Wisconsin, passed away on Saturday, February 14, at his residence.
Chris, known as “Funcle” (Fun Uncle) to his family, was born on June 22, 1993, in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, to Jennifer Litvinoff and Benjamin Fockler. He attended Kaukauna High School and later earned his HSED through Fox Valley Technical College. He worked as a concrete finisher for Bayland Buildings Inc., and held many construction certifications through UW-Platteville.
Chris had a deep love for fishing and bow hunting, and enjoyed playing video games and skateboarding and snowboarding. In his younger years, he played both hockey and football. He appreciated a wide variety of music genres and loved his dog, Mac, unconditionally. Above all, he carried a fierce and unwavering love for his nephews — always present, always comforting, and forever a light in their lives.
He is survived by his mother, Jennifer Litvinoff of Kennan; his father, Benjamin Fockler of Humbird; his siblings, Alexandria (Paul) Pleshek of Colgate, Kennedy Litvinoff of Appleton, and Joseph Fockler of Humbird; his nephews, Maverick and Makoy Pleshek; his significant other, Megan Drexler; his maternal grandfather, Jerry Litvinoff; his paternal grandmother, Hopeful Paige-Fockler; his aunts and uncles, Jerry (Julie) Litvinoff, Jeff (Patti) Litvinoff, Jessica (Ryan) White, Tony (Sarah) Fockler, and Clark Gonnering; his great aunt and uncle, Melissa Paige-Fockler and Steve Maley; and his cousins, Cody, Travis, Tanner, Jeffrey, Josh, Dakota, Justin, and Grace.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Sharon Litvinoff; his great-grandparents, Max and Rosemary Litvinoff; and his great aunt and uncle, Merry (Gary) Shoemaker.
Memorial Gathering for Chris will be held on Friday, February 27th at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Catawba, WI from 9:30 am to 11:00 am with a Funeral Mass at 11:00 am. Following the Funeral Mass, everyone is invited to Happy Daze in Kennan, WI for beer and pizza.
