Thomas "Tom" Robert Fehling, passed away on March 6, 2024. We honor his life of 57 years and his memory will live on in the memories we cherish and the stories we share.
Tom was born May 19, 1966, in Dodge County, Wisconsin to the late Robert "Teeter" Fehling and the late Beverly M. Fehling. For 35 years Tom dedicated his life to the construction industry, working as a gifted carpenter. His craftsmanship was a testament to his attention to detail and wanting things done perfectly.
Tom's love for the outdoors was as vast as the open skies. He found solace in the quiet patience of fishing the mountain streams and reeling in the perfect catch. He also enjoyed the sport of playing softball and he was a team player through and through. His love for NASCAR was unmatched and he always enjoyed cheering on his favorite drivers. He was a master of practical jokes, always with a twinkle in his eye and a fun plan up his sleeve.
His love for his family was the cornerstone of his life. His absence leaves a void that cannot be filled but we will not ever forget what he meant to each of us. Tom was a blessing in our lives.
The Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow. Isaiah 14:3
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 16 years, Rochelle Fehling; his sister, Sandi Jo Roth; and a niece, Courtney Roth.
Surviving are his son, Devin, and wife Jennifer; his stepdaughter, Stephanie, and husband Larry; a brother-in-law, Larry Roth; Grand Daughter, Cody Hall; also grandchildren,nieces, and nephews.
To honor Mr. Fehling's request no formal funeral services will be held.
