Brian Gerrits

Brian Lee Gerrits - formerly of Kaukauna - Age 34, passed away on April 22, 2023. He was born September 17, 1988, to Jeff and Julie (Allwardt) Gerrits of Kaukauna. He graduated from Kaukauna High School with the Class of 2007 and UW Oshkosh. He held various jobs in the valley. He is survived by his parents; children: Blake and Arianna; sister: Emily (Andy) Dodge; nephews: Leo and Royce Dodge; grandmother: Wilma Allwardt; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Those who knew Brian loved his sense of humor, quick wit and willingness to help a friend. He was always a night owl, so he was in his element as a server for those late-night jobs. He really enjoyed the outdoors, loved camping trips with his son, Blake, and enjoyed music festivals and concerts. He was preceded in death by his infant brother: Ted Gerrits; grandparents: Leo and Lillian Gerrits, and Kenneth Allwardt; and special cousin: Jesse Donnermeyer. His funeral was held April 28 at O’Connell Funeral Home, Little Chute. Please consider making a donation to a rehabilitation facility helping those battling addiction, homeless shelter or local food pantry in Brian’s name.
