Robert Lowell Evert

WYOCENA – Robert Lowell Evert, of Wyocena, Wisconsin, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, May 16th, 2023, at the age of 76.

Bob was born on December 4, 1946, in Madison, Wisconsin, the son of Leroy and Viola (Gajdusek) Evert. He married Leslie Ellen Schaefer on June 16, 1978, in Deerfield, Illinois. He died one month shy of their 45th wedding anniversary.

Bob enjoyed flying as a Captain for United Airlines out of Chicago, Illinois, until his retirement. Bob did not care for sitting around. He loved doing woodworking and being a caretaker of his land. He was very family-orientated, and his pride was his two boys.  Bob truly enjoyed helping and spending time with his friends Harvey, Steve, Donald, Phil, Ken, and Wayne.  There were so many special people in Bob's life, especially Renee and Haiden.

Bob is survived by his wife, Leslie; his two sons, Robert (Rob) and Joshua (Josh); brother, Daniel (Wendy); sister, Linda (Bill) Rowe; sisters-in-law, Jean Evert, Debbie Evert; and many nieces and nephews who were very special to him. Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Leroy and Viola Evert; and his brothers, Ronald and Michael.  

There will be a private Celebration of Life on their land at a later date. Pastor Julie Wilson will be officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Lodi United Methodist Church or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Pflanz Mantey Mendrala Funeral Home in Portage is assisting the family.
