Nemitz, Terry Louis (16 FEB 1964 - 29 DEC 2013)

Terry Louis Nemitz went to be with his heavenly father on Sunday, Dec. 29, 2013.

Terry was born to Robert and Judith (Buresh) Nemitz on February 16, 1964 in Bloomer. He was baptized and confirmed at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Bloomer. He was currently a faithful member of Zion Lutheran Church of Stetsonville.

Terry graduated from Bloomer High School in 1982. He met the love of his life, constant companion and best friend, Helen R. Diamond in 1982 (her sister Carol's fault). Terry and Helen were married on August 20, 1983. They shared 30 years of marriage.

Terry enjoyed traveling anywhere and everywhere. He was well liked and very loved by everyone he met. He enjoyed spending time with family, friends and playing cards. There wasn't a card game that he didn't know or enjoy. He always had the ability, no matter what the card game, to know exactly what cards you had in your hand.

Terry is survived by his wife, Helen; daughters, Sara (Steve) Budtke and Kimberly Nemitz; son, Matthew Nemitz; granddaughter, Anna Budtke; mother, Judith; sister, Tracy (Matt) Bischel; and brother, Tom (Penny) Nemitz. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and special friends.

He is preceded in death by his father, Robert; brother, Tim; maternal and paternal grandparents, Louis and Helen Nemitz, step-grandmother, Dorothy Nemitz, William Buresh, Edna Stelter and step-grandfather, Clarence Wilda.

Terry will be dearly missed by his family and friends.

Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 2, 2014 at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Stetsonville, with Rev. James Babler officiating. Honorary pallbearers are Steven, Scott and Mike Nemitz. Active pallbearers are Tim, Alan, BJ and Jimmy Nemitz, Andrew Bichel, James Moon and Jon Lechleitner.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Terry's family to be designated at a later date. Hemer Funeral Homes of Medford and Rib Lake assisted the family with arrangements.

If someone was in need, Terry was the first one to be there, if you needed a fourth for pinochle, Terry was your guy, and if someone needed a laugh, Terry would provide that too. His short time on this earth was full of so much life, his great love for the Lord and willingness to touch so many. Leaving a legacy that will not soon be forgotten.
