Willie E. Lange, 51, passed away unexpectedly on April 16, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and a life lived fully. Born on May 18, 1973, to the late Willie Sr. and Joan Lange, Willie was the kind of man who made everyone feel like family—because to him, everyone was.

A devoted family man, Willie's greatest pride was his loved ones. He was a rock to his family and an adoring grandfather who lit up at the sight of his granddaughter. He listened with his heart and offered help without hesitation – even after his passing, he was able to continue his generosity through his gift of tissue donation.

A talented former tattoo artist and a true Jack of all trades, there was nothing Willie couldn't figure out, fix, or create. He had an unforgettable sense of humor, loved rock music, riding and building motorcycles, camping, and was a true Star Wars fan.

Willie is survived by his loving wife of 25 years, Angie; children, Colten Lange, Chantel Streblow, Krista Koslowski, and Amber Nachtwey; granddaughter, Evelyn Marie; parents-in-law, Wayne and Kim Koslowski; sister-in-law, Tiffany (Pat VanDer Parren) Brunette; beloved dogs, Jaxon and Lexi. He is further survived by many more family and friends.

He is preceded in death by his parents; sister-in-law, Chrissy Koslowski; Uncle Buck and Aunt Phyllis; and Grandma Jan.

A visitation will be held on Tuesday, April 22 from 4:00 – 6:00 PM at Pfotenhauer Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Howard-Suamico location. There will not be a service, visitation only.

In lieu of flowers, any donations would be greatly appreciated to help offset the cost of the funeral.
