Jeffrey Stuart Breyer, age 59, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, April 2, 2019 at his home in Oshkosh.
Jeff was born on December 19, 1959 in Appleton to Dr. Keith and Marlys “Marcy” Breyer. He graduated from Hortonville High School, and then proudly served his country in the US Marine Corps., serving in Panama. After his service in the Marines, Jeff worked at Central Paper/IPG until his health forced his retirement. Jeff enjoyed watching the Green Bay Packers, the Brewers, restoring old cars, especially his 1961 T-Bird, camping, hunting, fishing and bowling. He loved listening to music. He was our family storyteller. He loved to reminisce and could tell us all stories from 50+ years ago with incredible detail. Jeff loved to laugh about the old days. His wonderful sense of humor brightened our days. We will miss our family comedian dearly!
