Edward "Ed" T. Endres

Edward “Ed” Endres, 70, Kronenwetter, WI, passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by his family on Saturday, August 19, 2023.  He was born on March 7, 1953, son of the late Geneva (Schmidt) and John Endres, Jr.

Ed was a man who loved his family above all else.  He enjoyed the outdoors, hunting, spending time at the family cottage, and relaxing by a campfire.  He would often spend his time on projects around the house/yard, and relax with his cat, Kassie.  Ed was always fond of cats, but he had a special bond with Kassie (or “Barrel Cat” as he called her).  His love of his Harley, Corvettes, tractors, and machinery brought him joy throughout all his life.  He routinely attended Sporting/Gun Shows with his friends and valued all the relationships he created throughout his years of attending these events.  Ed’s entire family would like to sincerely thank Dr. Christopher Peterson from the Aspirus Cancer Center and Dr. Ryan Mattison from the UW Carbone Cancer Center, along with the entire nursing staff, who all did an incredible job in taking care of Ed throughout the last two years.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Geneva and John Endres, Jr. of Edgar, WI.

He is survived by his wife, Polly (Krause) Endres, of Kronenwetter, WI, and his daughters Mariah Endres (fiancé Seth Feldman) of Madison, WI and Kacie Endres of Suffolk, VA, his sister Karen Endres of Merrill, WI, brother Myron (Colleen) Endres of Marathon, WI, sister Kris (Jim) Lokemoen of Merrill, WI, and sister Kim (Carl) Wilichowski of Marathon, WI.

A Celebration of Ed’s Life will take place on Saturday August 26th, 2023, at Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, 3400 Stewart Avenue, Wausau WI, from 11:00 a.m. until the time of service at 2:00 p.m.  Burial will be in St. John Catholic Cemetery, Edgar, WI.    Online condolences may be expressed at www.petersonkraemer.com
