Todd Wenzel Obituary
Todd is survived by his wife Nancy. They were married in 1992 and have two sons, Dylan (18) and Brady (15). Todd was a devoted husband, father and provider. Together Todd and Nancy created a strong family foundation with a piece of land and a lot of love. He lived for his time at home with his two boys, working their farmette, shooting hoops, fishing and watching them compete in their high school athletics. He never missed a game.
There are no words to describe Todd. He was just a great man. His soft spoken words could easily calm a volatile situation and quietly bring a party to roaring laughter with his quick wit and clever sense of humor.
Todd is preceded in death by his father, Donald Wenzel, father-in-law Roy Pleshek, uncle, Earl Nettekoven, and special mentors Matt and Lorraine Schaffer. Also preceding him in death were two brother-in-laws, Dale and Tim Pleshek.
Todd is further survived by, his mother Carol Wenzel, Appleton; mother-in-law Pearl Pleshek , Appleton; Marilyn Nettekoven, very special Aunt, Menasha, brother Kurt (Wendy & their son Bennet) Neenah; sister, Tina Wenzel (her daughter Natasha) Appleton; special cousin Keith Nettekoven; Todd's in-laws, Dan Pleshek Greenleaf, Linda Rohm (John) Winneconne; Judy Zwiers (Bob Zitzelsbersger) Stockbridge; Gary Pleshek, Appleton; Wane Pleshek (Teena) Kaukauna; Sandy Hoelzel (Dan) Kaukauna; Mary Pleshek, Kaukauna; Dave Pleshek (Karen) Kaukauna, Also many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
Todd will live on in three lives which were saved through the organ donation program. The family would like to thank the ICU staff at Theda Clark Hospital for all their care and support.
Memorial services will be at 2 pm on Monday April 16 2012, at Christ the King, N7510 Hwy. 114 Sherwood. Friends may call at the church between 10 am to 1:30 pm.

Nancy, Dylan and Brady,
You all have our deepest sympathy.
You don't get over it, you just get through it. You don't get by it, because you can't get around it. It doesn't 'get better'; it just gets different. Everyday... Grief puts on a new face....

To the Wenzel Family,
I am Stacy, the daughter of Mike and Carol Bauer. I wanted to let you know that although I don't remember Todd that well, my mom and dad had the utmost respect for Todd. They spoke of him as a very valued team member of Accelerated Genetics and a very honorable man. We are sorry for your loss. Our family is praying for your family here in Tucson.

Nancy, Dylan, and Brady,
I don't know what to say to you all.. Todd was a great guy/husband/father, so I can only imagine how hard this must be for all of you. Working with Todd and his clients, I never heard a single bad word said about him. And, every time I was around him, he always had a smile and friendly words. Even after the horse accident!
Jayne, the kids, and I are so very sorry that God decided He needed Todd now-not later. He will be missed greatly by the whole community.
Our prayers go out for the three of you.
Sincerely,
Tom Young, DVM

Mere words are inadiquate at a time like this, the hole left behind when a beloved passes is too big! Instead we pray God help you cling to your faith, your tremendous family and many friends. We pray He and they bring you comfort and peace in this time. And rememeber, the more he is missed here (and that will be enormously) the greater his reward in heaven for a life very well lived!
