Titus Terry Kottke

Our beloved son and brother Titus Terry Kottke, 27, Athens, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, October 31, 2021.

He was born November 10, 1993 in Wausau, son of Terry and Joan (Jeske) Kottke of Athens.  At the age of 15, he received the Lord as his personal savior and later followed the Lord in believer’s baptism in the Eau Claire River in Weston, WI.

Titus was a 2013 graduate of the Athens High School.  His lifelong dream was to own and operate his own business.  In 2020, Titus, along with his two brother’s Luke and Ben opened Black River Meats LLC in Withee.  This business was his pride and joy!

He was a joyful person, truly loved everyone he met and was the life of every occasion.  He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Survivors include, his parents, Terry and Joan; three brothers, Luke Kottke, Athens, Ben (Lindsey) Kottke, Athens and Joe (Shelby) Kottke, Medford; two nephews, Eli and Wyatt Kottke; his paternal grandmother, Marian Kottke, Merrill; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Loyd Kottke; his maternal grandparents, Allen and Verna Jeske; and his uncle, Wade Kottke.

Pallbearers will be Luke, Ben, Joe and Cody Kottke, Zach Hierominus, Adam Lassa and Jeremy Jeske.

Titus had two favorite bible verses:  Luke 23:43- And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.  Romans 10:13- For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Funeral services will be at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) on Saturday, November 6, 2021 at Northside Baptist Church, 1719 N. Third Avenue, Wausau.  Pastor Weng Liew will officiate.  Burial will be in St. Paul Lutheran Cemetery, Hamburg.  Visitation will be on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. until time of services at the church.
