Theodore Walter Loehrke (Ted) died unexpectedly on Monday, Jan. 10, 2022. He was 69 years old.    Ted was born August 26, 1952, in Beaver Dam, to his parents, Gordon and Delores (Muche) Loehrke. He was baptized at Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church, Town of Theresa and confirmed there in May of 1964. Ted, at the time known as Turk, graduated from Lomira High School in 1970 and then completed the Automotive Servicing Program at Moraine Park Technical College in Fond du Lac.    He applied the skills learned first as a mechanic in the family business and then at area companies as a machinist and millwright. Ted was employed for over 30 years by Quad Graphics in Lomira, retiring in 2005.    Raised in and around the family auto repair business, Ted always had an interest in vehicles. As a young man he was attracted to fast cars but as he grew older his interest changed to motorcycles. Ted rode a motorcycle for most of his life and would typically log thousands of miles each Wisconsin summer.    In 2000, he met the love of his life and motorcycle partner, Peggy Willoughby. They were married December 14, 2001.    In addition to riding motorcycles, Ted had many interests. For many years he played guitar and steel guitar for multiple country music bands. He was an avid and accomplished woodworker, crafting furniture for family members. Ted also enjoyed photography and regularly spent time with a camera and Mother Nature.    Ted had a passion for target shooting. As a young man, he was a member of the family trap shooting team and was in a weekly league with his father and brothers. Over time, his interest changed to rifles, and he excelled at long range (1000 and 1200 yard) target events. He was an active member of the West Bend Barton Shooting Club and enjoyed spending time on the range and with friends at the Club. He was particularly proud of winning a state title in long range target shooting.    Although Ted was passionate about many interests, he was most passionate about time with family. For Ted and Peggy, family was a priority. He spent many a weekend playing with grandchildren, reading them stories, and just being an available grandpa. He cherished family get togethers with his son, siblings, aunts, and uncles.    He is survived by his wife, Peggy; son, Jason (Mel) Loehrke, step-son, Jason Fairweather; grandchildren, Brittany Nicole Giese (Elena), Allie Jo Fairweather (Alec), Makinzi Lee Fairweather (Doug), Rilee Marie Fairweather; and a great-grand-daughter, Layla Marie Wheaton; siblings, Kristine (Mark) Groh, John (Marie) Loehrke, David (Barb) Loehrke, and Tim (Rose) Loehrke; as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends; and Jason’s mother, Chris.    Ted was preceded in death by his parents, Gordon and Delores Loehrke; and Peggy’s daughter, Kimberley.    The family extends its heart-felt gratitude to the staff and many friends at Ascension Lutheran Church in Fond du lac for their prayers, care, friendship, and support, and also to the staff at St Agnes Hospital who cared for Ted during his final days.    There will be a Christian Funeral and Service of Celebration for Ted at Ascension Lutheran Church in spring when temperatures have warmed, and the surge has hopefully subsided.    Koepsell Funeral Home in Mayville is serving the family.

While Gayle hoped it would be a tem­po­rary move, she came to love the small town, raised five chil­dren, and they made it their home the re­main­der of their lives.    While Gayle was rais­ing her fam­ily, she also joined Ed in start­ing his con­struc­tion busi­ness and was re­spon­si­ble for the ac­count­ing of the busi­ness until Dad’s re­tire­ment.

She could be seen play­ing the organ on Sun­days in church, call­ing Bingo, vol­un­teer­ing at the Amer­i­can Le­gion along­side Ed­ward, ex­er­cis­ing at the TAG Cen­ter and spend­ing time with fam­ily and friends. She and Ed trav­eled every year and they par­tic­u­larly en­joyed the his­tory of the East Coast. Gayle was de­voted to fam­ily and was often sur­rounded by those who loved her most. She had a close re­la­tion­ship with her grand­chil­dren and was for­tu­nate to have seen them grow into adult­hood and start their own fam­i­lies.    If you knew Gayle, you have ex­pe­ri­enced her in­fec­tious laugh and wit! She loved to tell a good story and it was a joy to wit­ness her en­joy­ment of re­liv­ing the ex­pe­ri­ences. Gayle was a tes­ta­ment to strength and re­silience! She raised strong, in­de­pen­dent daugh­ters, and com­pas­sion­ate and de­voted sons, and this will carry on through her grand­chil­dren and gen­er­a­tions to come.    We love you and will miss you for­ever.  Gayle is sur­vived by sons, An­thony (Gia) and John (Joy); daugh­ters, Kath­leen (Terry) Brum­mond, Theresa (Daniel) Knaus and Mary (John) O’Neil; sis­ter-in-law, Sis­ter Mar­garet Bosch; 12 grand­chil­dren; four step-grand­chil­dren; and 21 great-grand­chil­dren.   She was greeted in heaven by her hus­band of 65 years, par­ents, broth­ers John and Ivan, and her beloved grand­son, Peter Brum­mond.    A Mass of Chris­t­ian Bur­ial will be held on Fri­day, Jan. 7, at 2 p.m. at St. Mary Catholic Church in Mayville with the Rev.
