JON-ERIK STEPHEN KENOW
Jon-Erik Stephen Kenow, 35, of Hudson, WI, passed away unexpectedly from yet unknown medical complications, Aug. 2, 2023.
Jon-Erik was born Aug. 3, 1987, in Stillwater, MN, to Stephen and Julie (Weinzetl) Kenow. He graduated from the Baldwin-Woodville High School, as well as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. While in high school, Jon-Erik worked at McDonald’s and made several lifelong friendships, including finding his very best friend, Caitlin. He went on to work for several other companies, including AT&T, Wells Fargo and Coloplast.
Jon-Erik loved watching sports; especially soccer (Go Liverpool FC!), football (Go Vikes!) and the youth games of Caitlin’s kids (his second family). He enjoyed visiting his friends, Charles and Erica in Milwaukee; golfing, renting Airbnbs; and camping trips, especially to the Boundary Waters with friends Austin, Nellie, Eric and Andy. He was looking forward to leaving the next day on their next trip. Jon-Erik also liked to play games of all sorts: video games (of course), but also board, card and car games. He enjoyed eating out (meat, meat, meat, fish) and getting the best food and beverages available. He loved spending time at the cabin and stated that “his jam” was going four-wheeling, boating and just hanging out in the water by the dock, all finished off with a campfire (and beer, of course).
Jon-Erik was the epitome of a thoughtful, caring and loyal man. We are proud and happy he accomplished so much and enjoyed life to the fullest with his family (including cousins) and friends.
Jon-Erik is survived by his parents, Stephen and Julie, and his sister, Richelle “Rikki” Kenow.
He is preceded in passing by his grandparents; aunts Darlene and Vicki; uncles Mike and Chris; and cousin Scott.
A celebration of Jon-Erik’s life was held Saturday, Aug. 12, at Torgerson’s Funeral Service, 408 N Water St, Black River Falls, WI. Visitation began at noon, with a service following at 1 p.m. Those attending were asked to wear their Vikings or Liverpool FC jerseys or any other sports apparel (except Packers and Eagles…just kidding!). To honor Jon-Erik’s love of good food and drinks, family and friends gathered at the Skyline Golf Course after the service.
Torgerson’s Funeral Service assisted the family with arrangements, 715-284-4321.
