Jack T. Wagner

Jack Thomas Wagner, age 21, of Oshkosh, WI passed away peacefully at his home while surrounded by his family on Friday, January 31, 2020. Jack was born on January 15, 1999.
Jack was a special young man who faced multiple challenges during his life. Whatever Jack lacked physically he made up for in the love he gave to others. He had a contagious smile and laugh and he will be missed.
Jack loved his family and he was so loved by them. He loved Packer parties and going to Brewers games, going to the beach at Little Silver Lake and sitting around the campfire. He loved being around people and was so fortunate to have people in his life that included him in everything. Jack had a soft spot and great love for his Grandparents and would acknowledge them with one of his wonderful smiles. Jack had so much love to give and we took every little bit of it that we could get.
Jack also enjoyed going to school and was a student at Oshkosh West High School.
Jack leaves behind his parents, Thomas and Kathleen (Girens) Wagner, his brother, Alex
Wagner and sister, Emma Wagner; his grandparents Victor and Audrey Girens and Kathleen “Kitty” Wagner; his uncles Michael (Sue Plate) Girens, Jim (Jenni Jorgensen) Girens, Todd (Suzanne) Wagner; his aunts Karen (Scott) Lodor, Barb (Paul Wolfe) Girens, Ann (David) Lenz, and Tracy Schommer. Jack is further survived by his cousins Courtney Freeman and Danielle Lodor; Charles and Grace Lenz; Matt, Aaron, Ryan and Megan Jorgensen; Katie Wagner: Joshua (Amber) Wittman, Brad Wittman and Beau Schommer.
Jack was preceded in death by his grandfather Donald Wagner.
