Kevin Mark Gerharz

Gerharz, Kevin Mark, age 62, of Waterford, passed away unexpectedly at Waukesha Memorial Hospital and "was called to fish on the big private lake in the sky" October 10, 2016. Kevin was born to Urban and Patricia (nee. Barley) Gerharz on August 23, 1954, while in the military based in Honolulu, Hawaii. After returning to the mainland he graduated from high school in Lemont, IL. Kevin moved to Waukesha where he met the love of his life, Teri Stoll, right next door to his home and they began their relationship before moving to Waterford in 1995. Kevin owned and operated his business, Signature Auto Stripes and Accessories, from 1988 to 1994 when he retired the business. This allowed him the time to do the things he loved, fishing, music, riding his motor cycle and most of all sitting in his extra wide recliner. On July 4, 2007 Kevin and Teri were married in Las Vegas, NV. Kevin was a loving and caring husband, son, brother, uncle and friend to many and will be missed beyond words.

Kevin is survived by loving wife Teri; three sisters: Diana Ruettiger, Eileen (John) Prendergast, Tracy (Edward) Pietrzyk; two brothers: Glen (Amanda) Gerharz and Cullen O’Mara; five nieces: Emma, Claire, Aubrey, Kailey and Madison; two nephews: Eddie James and Bryant; one aunt: Karen (David) Garvey; seven cousins: Timothy and David Garvey, Phillip, Susan, Charlie, Andrew and Lizzy Bebber; other relatives and friends.

He is preceded in death by his parents Urban and Patricia; grandparents: Urban and Marian; one aunt: Marilyn Bebber; two uncles; Ralph Barley and Robert Barley.
