A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at 11 a.m., on Wednesday, Jan. 21, at Christ The King Catholic Church in Spencer. Rev. Samuel Martin officiated.

Timothy Brian Strebe was born on July 24, 1962, in Marshfield, the son of DuWayne and Jean (nee Hoefner) Strebe. After graduating from Spencer High School in 1981, he furthered his education at Mid-State Technical College in Wisconsin Rapids and graduated in May 1983 with a degree in diesel mechanics. Tim had worked for a number of years at Advance Concrete in Spencer and was currently working as a mechanic at Frontier FS Cooperative in Marshfield. On Sept. 5, 1987, Tim married the love of his life, Susan Wehrman, at Saint Anthony’s Catholic Church in Loyal. She survives. Tim was not only an accomplished mechanic, but a man who truly loved being a mechanic and day after day it wasn’t just his career, but also his passion. Tim was the proud dad of Jenna and Nicole. His hobbies included reading and playing sheepshead. Tim loved working with his hands. If he didn’t know how to do something, no problem, Tim would research it with “how to” books and take on the project himself. He was a member of Christ The King Catholic Church-Spencer.

Survivors include his wife, Susan Strebe, Marshfield; his two daughters, Jenna and Nicole, both of Marshfield; his mother, Jean Strebe, Marshfield; four siblings, Carrie (Roger) Draeger, Marshfield, Thomas (Stacey) Strebe, Spencer, Carmen (Mick) Hermsen, Amherst Junction, and Ted (Karla) Strebe, Marshfield; a stepmother-in-law, Beverly Wehrman; his brothers-in–law and sisters-in-law, Janet (Frank) Zingen, Homer Glen, Ill., Charlotte Hoops, Rockford, Ill., Leonard (Ronda) Wehrman, Loyal, Mary (Doug) Wahl, Madison, Tom (Sharlene) Wehrman, Spencer, and Steve (Kris) Wehrman, Chili; other nieces, nephews, relatives and friends; and his canine companion “Kallie”.

Tim was preceded in death by his father, DuWayne Strebe; two brothers, Brian and Todd, both in infancy; his mother- and father-in-law, Wilfred and Marcella Wehrman; one sister-in-law, June Wehrman-Zurkowski; and his grandparents.
