James Wagner
April 12, 1949 — November 26, 2022
James Peter Wagner, 73, Black Creek, passed away unexpectedly at Aspirus Wausau Hospital from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident on Saturday, November 26, 2022. He was born April 12, 1949, to the late Alphonse "Babe" and Marie (Van Harpen) Wagner. On December 28, 1967, he was united in marriage to Margaret "Peggy" Hooyman, and the couple raised three children. Peggy preceded James in death on March 15, 2000.
In 1968 James and Peggy started a small produce business that later grew into Wagner's Market at the intersection of Highways 54 and 47 in Black Creek, at a property which had been in Jim's family for five generations, beginning in 1908. Jim took great pride in farming and running his business. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and taking care of his deer farm. Jim was a collector of too many items to list. He loved his collection of John Deere tractors. Jim found peace while at the cottage in Tomahawk.
Survivors include his son, Chris (Miriam) Wagner, and grandchildren: Wyatt Wagner, Kevin Reyes, Nathan Wagner, James Wagner, and Sashian Wagner; his daughter, Kim (John) Kamp and grandchildren: Gage Kamp (fiancee, Kelsey Madsen) and Jak Kamp; and son, Nicholas (Jessica) Wagner, and grandchildren: Kaiden Wagner and Ella Wagner; his mother-in-law, Mary Lou Hooyman four siblings: Janelle (Bill) Morehead, Richard Wagner, Robert Wagner, and Pat (Mary) Wagner; in-laws: Debbie (Phillip) Klotz, Judy (Pat) Kelly, Lisa (Duane) Bann, Mary Jo (Lance) Volkman, Jim Hooyman, Monica Earl, and Bruce (Patti) Hooyman; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
