Jeremy Jay Kowalkowski, age 38 of Oak Creek, WI passed away unexpectedly at his home on Tuesday, January 10, 2023. He was born on July 26, 1984, in Fort Atkinson to Keith and Lisa (Miller) Kowalkowski.
Jeremy served in the United States Air Force for four years serving as an Airborne Cryptologic Linguist both stateside and abroad. He then pursued his mechanical engineering degree at MSOE all whilst working in the field of mechanical engineering. He was a brilliant mind and a wizard of words who was proud to be able to solve a tetrahedron. He also enjoyed fishing, hunting, popcorn, video games, artistry cooking, logic puzzles, and basement “mad science” experiments with Uncle Mike.
He was also a kind and compassionate soul who would do anything for family, friends, and strangers alike.
He is survived by his family: parents Keith and Lisa (Miller) Kowalkowski of Helenville, brother Kyle and Fallon (Swailes) Kowalkowski (“Uncle Remy” to Kylon, Kennedy, and Emily) of Reeseville, sister Lacy Kowalkowski of Nashville, paternal grandmother, Constance Kowalkowski of Oconto, maternal grandparents Dean and Donna Miller of Helenville. Uncle Mike and Auntie Vicky Bauer, and Auntie Betty Polatowski will always hold a special place in Jeremy’s life, very special friend Brenda, who cared for each other deeply, along with many other aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
He is preceded in death by his grandfather Kenneth Kowalkowski Sr., Uncle Ken “Butch” Kowalkowski, and his faithful and beloved dog Patton.
A celebration of Jeremy’s life will be held February 26, 2023, noon to 3:00 pm at the VFW Hall in Jefferson, WI.
