Obituary: Kenneth Dale Semrau, 74

Kenneth Dale Semrau, 74, of Whitewater, passed away April 26, 2025, in Winterhaven, Fl.

Kenneth was born to Donna and Garhart Semrau on February 6th, 1951, in Marinette, WI. Kenneth married Kristy Pfeifer on May 6, 1972. They had two beautiful children Chad and Nicole and five wonderful grandchildren and lots of fur-babies. That made his world complete.

Ken retired from Nestle in 2012 and enjoyed retirement by spending his summers at Riverbend Resort in Watertown, WI and the winter in Winterhaven, FL.

“Kenny G.” was known for his loving and playful personality. His family was always first and foremost. He had a huge heart and joy for life. Ken enjoyed watching sports, especially the Green Bay Packers but followed all Wisconsin teams closely. Being with friends and family, playing bags, horseshoes, camping, putting together puzzles, and trips to the casino is what Ken enjoyed most. He will be missed.

He is survived by the love of his life, Kristy Semrau, and their two children son Chad (Julie) Semrau and daughter Nicole (Justin Petitt) Mattison . His 5 grandchildren Ireland, Bailey, Ian, Caden and Brady and his brother Jerry Semrau.

Ken’s wish is to have a “Celebration of his life” and a private burial in Whitewater, WI, which will be determined at a later date.
