Christopher Ulrich Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gaffney-Busha Funeral Home & Alpha Crematory on Feb. 19, 2026.
Christopher G. Ulrich, 70, a resident of Eagle River, WI passed peacefully in his sleep after a protracted illness on Feb 15, 2026. He is survived by his mother, Lois Ulrich, siblings, Stephen J. (Margie) Ulrich, Julie (William) Smith, and Linda Ulrich. Also surviving are nephews and nieces, Steve (Amy) Ulrich and family, Ben Ulrich, Rachel Niemuth, Louis (Jen) Niemuth and Martin Niemuth, and numerous cousins. Also surviving are his close friends, Jake and Marie and all others who gave love and support.

He was preceded in death by his father, Gerald T. Ulrich.

Loved by all, Chris was known for his kind heart and unconditional love. A lifelong mechanic, he could fix just about anything, from cars to heavy equipment, to the tiniest wristwatches. His intelligence, love, and sense of humor will be sadly missed.

Funeral services for Chris will be held at 12:00 Noon on Tuesday February 24, 2026 at the Gaffney-Busha Funeral home in Eagle River, WI.
