John Matern Lux

John Matern Lux, 84, of Williams Bay, Wisconsin, peacefully passed away October 18, 2026. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend whose life was built around family, church, and hard work. John enjoyed hunting and the outdoors. He was the kind of man who would lend a helping hand whenever someone asked. His generosity left a lasting impression on the people fortunate enough to know him.

John will be remembered for his love of family, and his unmistakable talent of finding a good deal. While his absence leaves a hole in the hearts of those who loved him, the stories, laughter, and memories he leaves behind will keep his spirit alive.

John is survived by his beloved wife of 64 years, Marilynn; his seven children, Andrea (Ron) Cihak, Joan (John) Marino, John D. (Robin), Dianne (Vito) Rago, Christopher, Peter, Gary (Angie and children); 11 grandchildren and one great-grandchild; his sister Joan (Don) Leone, and his many nieces and nephews who were also an important part of "Uncle Johnny's" life.

He was preceded in death by his parents John J. and Loretta M. Lux, and six of his sisters and their husbands, Loretta (Jack) Dolan, Margaret Roe, Patricia (Ray) Colomb, Rita (Jack) Harris, Annette (Dan) Darling, Marie (Richard) Galvin.

He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
