James Arthur

Wegener

James A. "Jim" Wegener, 66, of Howard, passed away Sunday, November 8, 2026. He was born June 30, 1960 in Iola to Arthur and Hazel (Langdok) Wegener. Jim was the youngest of three and grew up in Manawa. He loved to be active during high school with sports and photography which was a lifelong passion. While in show choir he met his sweetheart, Theresa Bocik, and they married on September 25, 1982. Jim graduated from UW Stevens Point with a Bachelor of Interior Design. Together, Jim and Theresa, moved to Green Bay to start their careers and family. 

Jim started his career at Shopko as an architect and store planner eventually forming his own freelance company that designed store fixture displays. 

Jim passed on his love of the Packers and taught his children and friends how to celebrate their wins. He also enjoyed many cruises with his sweetheart.

Jim was the ultimate host and the life of the party. When coming to "Club W", Jim made sure that your special drink was waiting for you and that he had something sizzling on the grill. He would take the time to show off his handcrafted room for his wine collection or his favorite place to be - his pool. Jim's huge laugh was as big as his heart. The softest part of his heart was for his family. He was immensely proud of his children and all their accomplishments. There were many cheers (sometimes so passionate it was embarrassing) from Jim during the kid's events. Jim's sense of humor and love will be missed.

He is survived by his wife, Theresa; three children, Christopher (Sara) Wegener, Michael (Konna) Wegener and Jaclyn Wegener; four grandchildren, Everett and Nolan Wegener and Halia and Isaac Wegener; sisters, Carol (Niles) Nielsen and Rosemary Meixl; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Arthur and Hazel; brother-in-law, Richard Meixl.

Visitation will be at Calvary Lutheran Church, 1301 S. Ridge Rd., from 9 to 11 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16 with the funeral service starting at 11 a.m. Monday. Packer attire is acceptable. Burial will be in Fort Howard Memorial Park. To send online condolences, please go to www.BlaneyFuneralHome.com.
