Obituary:
Jeffrey Leo Hendricks, Little Chute, age 65, died Wednesday October 21, 2015. He was born in Freedom, WI on July 12, 1950 to Henry and Agnes (Klister) Hendricks. Jeff married his high school sweetheart Darlene Nackers at St. Nicholas Parish on November 6, 1970.
After 35 years of selling Pierce firetrucks, Jeff went on to own and operate his own business, Hendricks Fire Sales/Service. In 1992 Jeff joined the Little Chute Fire Department where he proudly served until he retired in 2010, at the age of 60. Throughout the years, Jeff enjoyed many vacations with friends and family which included fishing trips, golf outings, and Disney excursions.
Family was the most important thing to Jeff. His commitment and dedication to his family was his first priority. He spent countless hours helping his son build houses, driving his daughters across the country for college, and helping all of his children with endless number of moves. Some of Jeff's happiest times were spent cheering on his grandchildren at their sporting events and just spending time with them. His family meant the world to him and he was so loved by them.
