Lynn W. Weatherwax, age 70 of the Town of Belle Plaine, Shawano County passed away unexpectedly at his home Friday July 15, 2022.
Lynn was born November 4, 1951 in Green Bay as the son of the late William and Adeline (Kruse) Weatherwax; the second of their four children. He graduated from Green Bay West High School in 1970 and worked for a number of different places throughout his life. Most of his jobs were construction related and he was currently working for Shawano County. Although Lynn enjoyed his alone time he definitely was good at making friends. He looked forward to playing cards with the crew at Korth’s Badger Tap whenever he wasn’t working and was a longtime member at the Clintonville Trap Club where he also volunteered to help teach the local youth the art of trap shooting. Lynn also enjoyed shooting archery with his friends in league as well as pool and dart leagues. He was a current member of Divine Savior Lutheran Church in Shawano and also attended St. Martin Lutheran in Belle Plaine. Lynn always seemed to be outdoors. Whether he was chasing big bucks or fishing with family or friends, he cherished time in God’s creation. He could often be found cutting firewood, snowmobiling, or simply taking a long walk. Always willing to lend a helping hand, he was the glue of his family. For the past nine years he was blessed to have a relationship with his soul mate Teri and loved spending time with her family. Above all he kept faith in his Lord and never lost sight of God’s promise.
