Jeffrey Repinski

It is with complete heartbreak that we announce Jeffrey Dale Repinski, age 50, left this earth while surrounded by his wife and family holding his hands on August 1, 2024 at Aspirus Wausau Hospital in the CICU at 9:10 PM after his body just couldn't take anymore.
Jeff was born to Maurice and Marlene (Dietz) Repinski on February 26, 1974 at a whopping 13lbs, 12oz and 24 inches long. He broke the record for the biggest baby born at Riverview Hospital in Wisconsin Rapids (which was something he was so proud of). Jeff went to school in the Wisconsin Rapids area and graduated from Lincoln High School, class of 1993.
Jeff was employed by Mike Shermo (who he looked up to as a 2nd father), at Shammy Car Wash for 13 years. Jeff enjoyed the customers and his job with Mike and made some everlasting friendships with some of his co-workers, friendships that he held onto until the day he passed. Jeff also worked for Wysocki produce farms and loved being around all of the equipment at the shop in Bancroft.
Jeff met the love of his life, his Mandy, in February 2000. Mandy said the first time she saw Jeff it was love at first sight and she couldn't believe how handsome he was. They had their first on Nathaniel shortly after. They were married on February 25, 2005 and were blessed with two more sons: Ethan in July 2006 and Carter in November 2007. In December of 2006, Jeff was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, which he hated, but he fought it
First and foremost, Jeff loved his wife and boys and family ferociously. Jeff also absolutely and utterly loved his pet squirrel Harold. Harold the squirrel was Jeff's baby, and every morning the first thing Harold did was come and jump on Jeff and wake him up and cuddle him. Harold misses his daddy, and is still coming into the bedroom I the morning to see if his "daddy" is under his blankets. Jeff was a kind a caring soul, and that was proved time and time again (especially every time his Many brought home another animal).
Jeff was also very proud of his Polish bloodlines. Besides his family and his beloved squirrel, one of Jeff's true loves was good old classic country music (Jim Reeves, Charlie Pride, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams Sr., and Buck Owens just to name a few). During family get togethers, Jeff loved razzing his siblings and reminiscing. Jeff loved to keep his yard looking good and was proud of the way his yard looked. He also loved being out in his garage (especially with his baby boy Carter) with his radio on working on different projects and reorganizing his tools for the 100th time. Jeff loved spending time with his boys, each in a different way. Jeff loved spending time with his grandkids. Mateo was his little dark-haired Romeo, and Jewel was his little flower. Jeff was such a wonderful husband, dad, buppa, and brother. Jeff will be so missed forever, and there will be a piece of our hearts (especially Mandy's) heart that will never be the same Dear Honey, I will forever miss your calls while I was at work just because you wanted to say hello, and see how my day was, and I will forever miss our monthly 5:00 AM breakfast dates in the car sitting down by the river just talking. I will forever miss sitting on our back porch listening to music while talking and making plans. I will forever miss watching and listening to you with our boys and grandkids. I will also forever miss talking to you, your voice, cuddling in bed, and hearing you say "I Love You". You are the love of my life I'll love you for forever and a day (Pinky Promise). Love, your Mandy..and as the songs say, Dance with Me Once Again Darling and Let it Be Me.
Jeff is preceded in death by his mom and dad; brother, Terry Lynn Josie; and his paternal and maternal grandparents. Jeff is lovingly survived by the love of his life, Mandy; his sons: Nathaniel (Kat), Ethan, and Carter; his grandchildren: Mateo, Jewel (her mother Sam), and his grandchild on the way (December 2024); his sisters: Jane (Eric) Repinski and Jackie (Garry) Brown-Repinski; his brothers: Jim Repinski and John Repinski; nieces: Ashley Reinert, Jennifer Reinert, and Hailey Brown, nephew Joshua Langmo (peanut); many aunts, uncles, and cousins; his lifelong friends: Rick (Teresa) Prier, Grant Nelson, and Troy Jepson; and our little Repinski zoo: Harold the squirrel, MaeBelle the mastiff, Pip the bunny, Ziggy, Luigi, and Chester the parakeets, Roger the gecko, and lastly Benji (his dad's dog that passed away a few hours before Jeffrey).
WE WILL FOREVER LOVE YOU!
