Gerald “Jerry” R. Feest, 75, Green Bay, passed away after a brief but hard fought battle with
cancer Wednesday, July 8, 2026.
Jerry was born on April 27, 1951 in Kenosha, the son of the now late Robert and Beverly
(Henkel) Feest. He was a graduate of St. Joseph Catholic High School with the class of 1969.
Early in his working years, Jerry was a licensed carpenter and extremely skilled at this craft and
could build or fix anything. With his connections and as he got older he decided to get in sales
and worked at Hockers Brick for several years and then switched to United Sign until he decided
to “semi” retire. Jerry was never one to sit still and needed to stay busy so he did odds and ends
to get out of the house. He loved to cook and those that knew him loved his famous chicken
noodle soup. Jerry loved fishing on Lake Michigan with his buddies. He loved a good whiskey
old fashioned with brussel sprouts, but also enjoyed a good cup of coffee and breakfast with his
buddies. Jerry always made the most of his life and enjoyed telling stories and joking around.
Jerry is survived by his beautiful daughter and her fiancé: Emilie Feest and Hunter Balgie,
Shiocton, his daughter: Jerrilyn Feest, Kenosha, bonus son: Chris (Mandy) Nickisch, Denmark.

nephews and other relatives and friends.
