Jeffrey Wohlrabe Obituary
One of Jeff's biggest passions, second only to his wife Jenee, was working on and racing his cars, which he loved since he was 18. He enjoyed hunting and spending time with his kids. He was a member of the Fox River Racing Club.
Jeff will be sadly missed by his loving wife, Jenee, of Appleton; his four sons: Christopher, Jeffrey Jr., Domanic, and Hayden; his father, Leonard Wohlrabe, Poy sippi; sister Penni (fiancé Travis) Fritsch, Kaukauna; maternal grandmother, Betty Ellerman, Wausau; father and mother-in-law Christopher and Renee Sumnicht, Winneconne; 2 sisters-in-law: Jennifer (Adam) Baker, Winneconne and Kaitlin Sumnicht, Winneconne; 4 nephews: Tristan, Hunter, Steven, and Aaron; and a niece, Taylor. He is further survived by numerous cousins and other relatives.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Cheryl Wohlrabe.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 6:30 pm on Friday, September 15, at St. Pius X Catholic Church, 500 W. Marquette St., Appleton, with Rev. James Jugenheimer officiating. Friends and relatives may visit at the church on Friday from 2:30 pm until 6:15 pm. Interment will take place at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Cemetery, Neenah. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the entire racing community for their compassionate support during this difficult time.

Jenee I'm so sorry. Jeff was a special guy. His passion for racing only matched the passion he had for you and his family. Thank you guys for supporting my band over the years, and if any kind of benefit is organized, please let me know. Ask Your Mother would be glad to donate an acoustic show to the cause. Again my deepest sympathy through this tough time.

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I remember working with Jeff at Valley Roller and also seeing him at the track when I was working security. Always smiling as he drove by the gate by the flag stand wether he lost,blew a tire and when he won. We will miss you Jeff!
