Jeffrey Schkirke of Madison, age 56, passed away unexpectedly on January 17, 2022.
He was born in Mauston, the son of Robert and Barbara Schkirke. Upon graduating Beaver Dam High School in 1983, Jeffery served in the Navy. A carpenter by trade, he took pride in his work and remodeling his home. Jeff enjoyed barbecue and grilling out. He was a big Wisconsin sports fan, and especially loyal to the Packers and Badgers. Being an avid hunter and fisherman, he had a lifelong appreciation of the outdoors. Jeff was a hardworking and kind-hearted soul. His easy-going, laid-back personality and warm laugh always meant a good time for all around. Jeff will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all that knew him.
He was a loving son to his father, Bob (Carolyn Wilkinson) Schkirke and was a loving brother to three sisters, Christine (Jim) Keegan, Deborah (Matt) Finnand, and Mary (Paul) Klavekoske. He is further survived by nieces and nephews, other relatives, and friends. Jeff was preceded in death by his mother, Barbara; and two brothers: Andy and Todd.
