Jeffrey Morse

Jeffrey Charles Morse, 68, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Thursday, Dec. 9, 2021.

Jeff was born Feb. 17, 1953, in Waukesha to the late Wilbur and Grace (Schmidt) Morse.

Jeff was an avid outdoorsman, devoted and loving husband, father, grandpa, (AKA Papa), uncle, brother, brother-in-law and friend.

Jeff was a dedicated EMT and ICU nurse who valued his time caring for the Veterans at the VA Medical Center in Milwaukee. Jeff enjoyed gardening and was known to have quite the green thumb. His pockets were always full of treats for his grandkids and granddogs. Jeff will be fondly remembered as the master of trivial facts and pranks. His sense of humor will be missed.

Survivors include his loving wife of 47 years, Rose (Grisham) Morse; his children: Sarah (Robert) Kline, Christa (Neilan) Haggard, John (Amanda) Morse and Benjamin (Dani) Morse; 13 grandchildren: Hannah, Ella, Carson, Elijah and Amariah Kline, Emily, Zachary, Katelyn and Jeremiah Haggard, Brock Morse, Kolten Stahel and Makayla and Sophia Weisner; five of his nine siblings; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and other family members and friends.

A celebration of Jeff’s life will be held at a later date. Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, Athens, is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences may be expressed at www.petersonkraemer.com.

In lieu of flowers, Jeff would have appreciated donations to Challenge the Outdoors. The website is ctoforme.org. They offer events and services to the disabled sports person.
