Jack E. Kohl

Jack lost his brief battle with brain cancer on Tuesday morning, August 20, 2013. Jack was born in Appleton on August 14, 1964 to Eugene and Dolores Kohl . He will be remembered for his in depth knowledge of electronic and stereo equipment and for his D.J'ing at various nightclubs in the valley, most recently the Blind Pig in Menasha where he worked for the past several years. Jack was always quick with his wit and sense of humor. He also loved hunting when he was able and enjoyed the outdoors. He also had a passion and love for his purebred cats.

Jack is survived by his cats: Gary, Sweetie Pie, and Kisma; his sister: Jan (Greg) Kutsch and their children Kaleigh George and her daughter Madyson Chaganos, Nick Machak and Cody Machak. He is also survived by Mark (Ali) Tesmer and their son Kenny (special friend Emily Wheeler); Mike (Glenda) Tesmer and their children Mike (Ann) Tesmer Jr. Tracy (Jeremy) Bullock and Chad (Sharmain) Tesmer; Bruce (Kathy) Tesmer and their daughter Alex; Susan Tesmer, and Natalie Stark and her children Talbot (Melissa) Stark, Jamie (Bob) LeGere and Glori (Neil) Huse. Jack was preceded in death by his parents Eugene and Dolores Kohl, nephew Todd Tesmer, and brother in-law Allan Stark. He is also survived by many great nieces and nephews and many friends.

Friends will gather to remember Jack on Friday night, September 6, 2013 from 7:00 PM until 9:00 PM at THE BLIND PIG, 206 Main Street in Menasha, one of his favorite hangouts. All are welcome to attend and share a memory of Jack.

The family would like to express sincere gratitude to Dr. Timothy Goggins and staff, the staff at ManorCare for caring for Jack in his time of need, and to Jane Jada for taking care of the cats in Jack's absence from his home.
