Jeffrey Scott Radtke, 58, of Oconomowoc, WI, made his final peaceful transition on January 31, 2026. While we miss his steady presence, we choose to remember a man who lived with a generous spirit, a thoughtful mind, and a permanent tan line in his heart. Born on March 24, 1967, in Fond du Lac, WI, to the late Sandra and William Radtke, Jeff grew up to be a genuine blend of brilliance and kindness. For 27 years, he was head over heels in love with his wife, Lisa (Fruncek). Their marriage wasn't just a partnership; it was a decades long masterclass in devotion.

Jeff wasn’t one to sit still for long—unless he was at the beach. As his favorite spot on earth, the sand and surf matched his personality: calm, vast, and always welcoming. Whether he was exploring a new corner of the globe to soak up a different culture or hitting the links for a round of golf with friends and family, Jeff approached every day with a sense of wonder.

Professionally, Jeff was the “man behind the curtain” at HellermannTyton, where he spent the majority of his career. In the IT department, he was the steady, trusted presence people turned to—someone who mentored others, championed his team, and carried a trademark strength that made everyone around him feel capable.

Jeff’s memory is carried on by his beloved wife, Lisa A. Radtke; his brother, Steven Radtke; and his nephew and niece, Ethan (Paige) and Emma Radtke.

A special thank you to the ProHealth Hospice Team, who cared for Jeff with compassion and respect. Deep appreciation also goes to the ADRC of Waukesha County for their steady guidance and support.

Silver Maple Lane, Oconomowoc) from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM (Service to follow at 3:00 PM). Keep it casual; Jeff wasn’t fond of suits and ties. Bring your favorite memories of Jeff.
