James Fehrenbach Obituary
James "Jim" Allen Fehrenbach, loving father, son, brother, uncle and friend passed away on Monday, September 10, 2012 following injuries sustained in an automobile accident, and is now at peace.
Jim was born November 20, 1962 in Marshfield, to Neal and Darlene (Hughes) Fehrenbach. A proud 1981 graduate and student athlete of Sheboygan North High School, Jim received his Associates Degree in marketing from Lakeshore Technical College and worked extensively in logistics in the trucking industry for over 25 years.
Jim was a very active member of Holy Name Catholic Parish and the community including delivering communion and meals to those in need. He also served a very unique and important role in supporting his parents in the past several years who are forever grateful for his love and support.
Jim was incredibly proud of his two daughters and special recent memories included a cross country excursion to and from a math internship with Shannon, and a recent Packer game with Hallie (her first).
Survived with love by two daughters, Shannon and Hallie and their mother Kaye all of Oshkosh, his siblings Rae Ann (Bob) Gilbertson, Kay (Al) Kuznacic, Patricia (Randy) Gries, Wayne (Dana Ballweg), Michael, Jean (Jim) Gallimore and Neal (Lee Anderson), along with 18 nieces and nephews and countless other relatives, friends, and a friend of Bill W.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated for Jim Friday, September 14th, 2012 at 4:00 pm, at Holy Name Catholic Church. The Reverend Daniel Lasecki will be the Celebrant. Friends may call on Friday, at the church from 2:00 pm until the time of service.
A memorial fund has been established in his name.

We remember Jim from 1968 when we babysat for Jim, his sisters and brothers. His Mother is my Aunt Darlene. I am Joan McHugh-Kramer daughter of Robert and Peggy. We now live between Sheboygan and Howards Grove. When Jim's name hit the morning news today I asked my Mother, Peggy, in Marshfield, if she heard anything. This is when Aunt Sherry helped us put the story together. WE are all extremely sorry for your family's loss.
