Donald (Don) Stotmeister Jr.  Don was born October 23, 1969. He passed away July 28, 2021 at the young age of 51.  He was born in Illinois, but grew up in the central Wisconsin area. Don then moved to other areas where it was warmer, before returning home to central Wisconsin.   Don's favorite thing was being a "Pop Pop"! Besides that, he enjoyed reading, his favorite author was Steven King. He had a great appreciation for classic cars (the louder the better), as well as classic 80's rock music (also, the louder the better)! Don enjoyed learning about survival skills and preparing for the zombie apocalypse ('better safe than sorry', he'd say)! He was an avid Chicago Bears fan, and enjoyed heckling at every opportunity.   Don was preceded in death by his parents Donald Sr.(Judy) and Oraletta, as well as some aunts and uncles.  He was survived by his brother Ralph (Rhonda) of FL, 4 daughters: Melaney (Parker) of  MS; Felisha of WI; Mary (Justin) of FL and Angel (Tyler) of WI; 4 granddaughters: Aly, Zoey, Zayna and Tiki and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews!    Don had a great sense of humor and could make anyone he talked to laugh.  He made friends with most anyone he talked to. His random knowledge and facts will be greatly missed!  We will be holding a celebration of life ceremony on September 14th, 2021. You can visit from 11-2, at Thrive Church in Wausau, Wi. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the family, if you so choose.
