Brandner, Jon “Jack” M. (7 APR 1940 - 11 DEC 2018)

Jon “Jack” M. Brandner, 78, of Medford, passed away peacefully with his loving family by his side on Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2018 at his residence in the city of Medford under the care of Hope Hospice.

As requested by Jack, there will be a private family only memorial service at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Medford at a later date. His cremated remains will be interred at Holy Rosary Catholic Cemetery.

Jack was born on April 7, 1940 in Medford, the son of John H. and Lenore (Mueller) Brandner.
Jack is survived by his wife of 54 plus years, Joanne (Long) Brandner, married on Sept. 5, 1964. God blessed them with children, Nicholas (Amy) Brandner of Medford and Ryan (Paola) Brandner of Wausau; grandchildren, Hannah, Bailey, Paige, Lacey and Kenneth Brandner. He is further survived by siblings, Marjean Bootzin of Marshfield, Carol (Wayne) Engel and Robert Brandner, all of Medford and Paul Brandner of Tucson, Ariz.; in-laws, Rhodona (Richard) Murphy of Friendship and James (Beverly) Long of Eagle River; cousins, aunts/uncles, nieces and nephews.

His many true friends meant so much to him as he thought of them as buddies who gave him a second chance (probably on the golf course).

Jack was preceded in death by his parents; father and mother-in-law, Fred and Esther (Gehrig) Long; brother-in-law, Ivan Bootzin; nephew, Christopher Murphy; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Hemer Funeral Service of Medford and Rib Lake is serving the family.
