Shawn Voigt Obituary
Shawn Lee Voigt, age 34, of Appleton, passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends after a brief illness, on Sunday, December 27, 2015, at Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa. Shawn was born February 4, 1981, in Appleton, the son of Robin and Linda (Stormfeltz) Voigt. He was a 1999 graduate of Appleton West High School.
On August 7, 2010, Shawn married Jaclyn Marie Schopp in Oshkosh, and together they made their home in Appleton. He was a proud member of the UA local 400 union. He was employed with C.R. Meyer as a Journeyman Welder, a position he took great pride in.
Shawn will always be remembered for being a Huge Family Man and a dedicated Dodge Man. He loved welding and working on cars; his prized possession was his Low Rider. Shawn was truly a handyman, a "Jack of all Trades", who enjoyed Mudding, cooking, riding crotch rockets and barbequing.

Shawn was preceded in death by his grandparents, Vern and Regina Voigt, Clarence and Verona Stormfeltz, and Dolores Schopp; aunts and uncles, Steven Voigt, Jeffrey (Diane) Voigt and many aunts and uncles.

My sincere sympathy to the family. I am stunned. I have known Shawn since he was a young child. He played baseball with my son Kelly. Shawn and Kelly started BMX bike racing together.
I can't imagine how heavy your hearts must be. My thoughts and prayers with the entire family.
