Joel's obituary

Joel Helmut Klausch, 59, passed away at Froedtert Hospital on Wednesday afternoon, December 4, 2019, due to complications related to acute myeloid leukemia. Joel was born in Kenosha, WI on March 5, 1960, to the late Erwin and Hedwig (nee: Grieger) Klausch and lived in Racine most of his life. He was united in marriage to Peggy Sue (nee: Lloyd) Klausch on May 28, 1983 in Racine, WI. He was proud to receive his undergraduate degree in Accounting from Upper Iowa University on May 25th, 2002. He retired in 2017 after 26 years at Abbott Laboratories. Joel and Peggy enjoyed life together with their three boys, Jamien, Ryan, and Cody. He loved to support his sports teams, especially the Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers. He made memories taking the family out boating, biking, hiking, and camping. In his later years, Joel loved their regular dinners with Cody and Courtney (nee: Kitzing), taking the motor home on cross country trips with Peggy to boondock in the Mojave Desert with Ryan, and bonding with Peggy over puzzles, bike rides, walks, soap-making, tending to their backyard, and kayaking on Trout Lake. Joel will also be dearly missed by his brother, Ronald Klausch; sisters, Angelika Klausch, and Elvira (Donald) Orth, as well as numerous brothers- and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Our kindest thanks to Dr. Abedin, Katie, Hannah, and Dr. Timothy Ridolfi for their excellent care and diligent work.
