Jeffrey C. Morse

Jeffrey Charles Morse, 68, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Thursday, December 9, 2021.

Jeff was born February 17, 1953, in Waukesha to the late Wilbur and Grace (Schmidt) Morse.

Jeff was an avid outdoorsman, devoted and loving husband, father, grandpa, (AKA Papa), uncle, brother, brother-in-law, and friend.

Jeff was a dedicated EMT & ICU nurse who valued his time caring for the Veterans at the VA Medical Center in Milwaukee.  Jeff enjoyed gardening and was known to have quite the green thumb.  His pockets were always full of treats for his grandkids and grand dogs.  Jeff will be fondly remembered as the master of trivial facts and pranks.  His sense of humor will be missed.

Survivors include his loving wife of 47 years, Rose (Grisham) Morse, his children, Sarah (Robert) Kline, Christa (Neilan) Haggard, John (Amanda) Morse and Benjamin (Dani) Morse, 13 grandchildren, Hannah, Ella, Carson, Elijah and Amariah Kline, Emily, Zachary, Katelyn and Jeremiah Haggard, Brock Morse, Kolten Stahel and Makayla and Sophia Weisner, 5 of his 9 siblings, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and other family members and friends.

A Celebration of Jeff’s life will be held at a later date.  Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, Athens is in charge of arrangements.  Online condolences may be expressed at www.petersonkraemer.com

In lieu of flowers, Jeff would have appreciated donations to Challenge the Outdoors. The website is ctoforme.org.  They offer events and services to the disabled sports person.
