TJ graduated from Portage High School “Class of 2008”. TJ was an active member of both the Racine Eagles Club Aerie No. 281 and V.F.W. Men’s Auxiliary where he volunteered his time when needed. TJ had a great big heart and enjoyed helping others. He worked for his father as a machine repair technician. TJ loved the outdoors, fishing, and hunting and was lucky to harvest many trophy deer and fish which he proudly displayed in his home. TJ was an excellent pool player and well known for his pool skills. From an early age he was a “natural” on the pool table. He was the Wisconsin Junior State Amateur Champion along with many first-place finishes on local leagues. A devoted son, fiancé, nephew, brother-in-law, and uncle, he always treasured the time spent with his family. He will be dearly missed.
