Christopher Lee Nagel, age 60, passed away on February 10, 2026 after a hard fought battle with pancreatic cancer.

He was born on May 28, 1965 to the late Jackie “Jack” Nagel and Nancy (Overdier) Nagel, in Green Bay, WI.

Chris graduated from Ashwaubenon High School in 1983 and worked as a licensed plumber and soil tester for several years, owning his own business. He worked many years for DirecTV and most recently was employed by Dorsch Ford. Chris was an avid Packers fan, and a huge Beatles fan. He also enjoyed camping and was a phenomenal history buff.

Chris is survived by his son, Cameron; Cameron’s mother, Janice; his brothers, Dan (Sue) Nagel, David Nagel, and Taylor Nagel; stepmom, Tina Nagel. He is further survived by nieces, Kiley (Kyle Jakups) Nagel and Laryn (Evan) Kussow and their children, Jax and Lily; cousins, Mary Lou Rammer, Linda (John) Wier, Katherine (Kitty) Nagel, Kim Threlkeld and Brian Overdier; his beloved cats, Freda and Johnson.

The family would like to extend their appreciation to the Unity Hospice team, Carley, Heidi and Sheryl along with the 5th floor staff at St Mary’s for their care, kindness and compassion during Chris’s final days; extra thanks to our cousin Kitty for her care during Chris’s time of need.

Per Chris’s wishes, no service will be held.

After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
