Thomas Danke Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Kessler Fahrenkrug Funeral Home - Neenah on May 13, 2023.
Thomas M. Danke age 72, of Neenah, passed away at his home on Friday May 12, 2023. Tom was born on June 10, 1950 in Neenah son of the late Gifford and Jeanette (Torsrud) Danke.
Tom loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing and boating. He also enjoyed sitting on his porch up north in Cayuga where he would watch the bear and deer come into the yard. From his home on the lake in Neenah he would watch the sunrise and the ducks and geese come into his yard to feed. Tom enjoyed going to car shows. He also loved going to his grandkids' sporting events. On nice days he would ride his wheelchair down Adella Beach road and visit with the neighbors. He was always one for spending time with family.
Tom is survived by his children: Mark (Nicole) Danke and Heather Danke (special friend Dave). He is also survived by his grandchildren: Carter and Chase Danke, Alex (Emily) Lehman and Codi Lehman (special friend Daniel), Kaden and Jaden Haufe; great-grandchildren: Gannon, Kezmai, Paisliee and Grainger. Tom is further survived by a sister Mary (Fred) Grady, a sister-in-law Carol Danke and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, and brothers John and James Danke.
Visitation for Tom will be held from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday May 23, 2023 at the Kessler-Fahrenkrug Funeral Home 304 S. Commercial St., Neenah. Interment will be in Oak Hill Cemetery, Neenah.
