December 28, 2021 – Jackson, WI – David R. Kuechler, 74, of Jackson passed away on December 22, 2021, at Aurora Hospital in Hartford. He was born on January 13, 1947, in West Bend to George and Sylvia Kuechler.
His mom died giving birth to him and he was adopted by his uncle and aunt Louis and Marcella Kuechler. He was raised in Hartford and Allenton. On August 19, 2000, Dave married Barbara Thresher.
David served his country in the US Army in Vietnam and was a member of the Flanagan-Dorn American Legion Post 294. His passions were carpentry, remodeling and woodworking, putzing around the house in his retirement to keep busy, liked to hunt (I think he liked being outside with nature more than hunting), spending time in the garden with his wife, spending time with family and friends, especially his grandkids. His grandkids adored him, and he would give them cute nicknames.
David is survived by his wife Barbara, daughter Wendy (Dennis) Wolf, son Keith (Jamie), stepchildren David (Ann) Pagac, Stephanie (Guy) Romine, Sara (Eric) Benzschawel and Mandy (James) Dugan, grandchildren Chloe, Braden, Jaydn, Ava, Daniel, Ella, Wyatt, Sionn, Olivia, Nora, Lily, Isabella, Hazel, Joey and Billy. He is further survived by his sisters Judy LeRoy, Pat (Ralph) Martin, Beverly (Rick) Krebs, Kay Jonas, Cynthia (Charles) Wiskirchen, Donna Leisner, Sally Strupp and Nedra (Michael) DeCaluwe, nieces, nephews other relatives and friends. David was preceded in death by his parents, and adopted parents, brothers Conrad and Thomas.
