Jerry Gabriel

Jerry Clarence Gabriel, 73, of Antigo passed away peacefully surrounded by family after a brief illness on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at Froedtert Hospital Milwaukee.

Jerry was born on July 31, 1951, in Antigo, the oldest son of the late Clarence and Magdeline (Dallman) Gabriel.

He attended Peace Lutheran School and graduated from Antigo High School in 1969. He completed vocational training in welding at Northcentral Technical College and worked at HammerBlow Corporation in Wausau and Greenheck Fan Corporation in Schofield.

He enjoyed hunting, fishing, watching sports and was often seen riding his red scooter around Antigo in his retirement. He had no pets of his own, but enjoyed spoiling his relatives' dogs, donkeys and goats.

He is survived by sons: Bill (Fiance Amy) and Curtis (Partner Bryan); brother, David (Brigid) Gabriel; and grandchildren: Ethan Follett, Kayla (Josh) Nelson and Marcus (Ashley) Fitzgerald.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Dan Gabriel; and both parents.

A celebration of life will be held later this year. The date and location of this event will be announced in the future.
