Mark Gieringer
Mark John Gieringer, age 73, of Coloma, Wisconsin, passed away on Wednesday, September
25, 2024, surrounded by loved ones.
He was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on January 9th, 1951. Mark was the second of four children born to Judge Raymond E. and Marion L. (Severson) Gieringer.
Mark graduated from Adams-Friendship High School in 1969. He then attended the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh where he graduated in 1974 from the School of Business Administration with a major in Accounting. Mark went on to continue his education at Marquette University where he attended law school and earned his law degree in 1977. Mark was an assistant district attorney for Winnebago County before practicing law in Neenah. He then moved back to his hometown of Adams-Friendship where he established his own law practice in Friendship. In addition to practicing law, Mark also obtained his real estate license. He was the President of Marion Realty LTD and a partner in Bula-Gieringer Farms and 3M Investments.
He enjoyed hosting Thanksgivings, skiing with family, and being the Captain of his beautiful 1969 Chris Craft, “Chips Ahoy”. It was important for Mark to continue annual traditions with his close brotherhood of friends – the annual deer hunting event on Spring Bluff, the Super Bowl poker party at the family Boathouse, and the EAA boating and fishing trips – each a legacy lasting decades. Mark’s greatest blessings in life, however, were his two children: Heather M. Kurtz and Jonathan G. Gieringer, and his grandson, Declan Otto Kurtz. He will be remembered for his kind heart, strong faith, work ethic, and passion for helping others.
Mark was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond E. and Marion L. Gieringer and his brother-in-law, Michael L. Edwards.
He is survived by his daughter, Heather M. (Richard) Kurtz, son, Jonathan G. (Trudy) Gieringer, grandson, Declan O. Kurtz, along with his three sisters, Jill R. Edwards, Susan R. Bradford and Kris G.(Randal) Coakley and his nieces, nephews, grand nephew, and grand nieces.
Memorial Services will be held at Roseberry’s Funeral Home on Saturday, October 12 at 12 Noon for family and friends, followed by a gathering at MoundView Golf Course located in Friendship, Wisconsin. Visitation will be on Saturday, October 12th from 10 a.m. until the time of service. Honorary pallbearers include: Alan Bradford, Tim Cook, Jeffrey Edwards, Mike Leaman, Kenny Meier, and Timmy Soward.
I had not seen Mark or Suzie in 50 years, but I remember the good times we had skiing and playing cards in Oshkosh and F-A. My condolences to the family.
Sincere condolences to Jill and family. Gone too soon…
Dear Jill , Susie and Kris.. so sad to lose a brother..I remember how close your family was and all the fun times we were able to share with Aunt Marion and Uncle Ray.. Mark will be in our prayers along with all of you and your families at this very sad time…Love and Blessings ..Sharon( Gieringer)and Don Hansen
I had the pleasure of talking to him when he had his wood boat for sale at his office. Very cool boat.
I think it was going to be taken to Florida shortly after we talked as he could get far more down there. We also talked about other boats, cars and life.
Super nice guy. Glad I got that time with him.
God speed Mark.

He’s with his Parents and love ones in Heaven. An may God be with all of you at this sad time. Mark was the kindness person I know.
Heather, Jill, Susie and family – I am so sorry to hear this very unexpected news. Back in the ’80’s he would often reference the song by Sheryl Crow “All I Wanna Do” is have some fun”, and then he’d laugh. He would share stories of hunting with his longtime friends, skiing with his kids, and boating, always sharing such good times. I’d say he lived up to his song! May peace be with you.
My condolences to the Gieringer family

I had the opportunity to work for Mark while I was still in high school. What started as a few hours in the afternoon, doing odd office jobs, turned into a 13 year employment that has since allowed me to advance my career with the knowledge and skills he has given to me. I have always considered Mark family and more importantly, a friend that I could turn to. He was one of the most generous, down to earth people I had the privilege of knowing. He is so missed. To his family; Jill, Susie, Kris, Heather, Johnny, and so many others, you’re in our prayers and we send our love.
So very sorry for your family’s loss. My deepest condolences.
Rest in peace. Mark gave me space in his office to start Friendship Tax and Accounting in 1990 in exchange for accounting and bookkeeping for Bula/Geringer Farms. Always had time for some quick advice. Loved his Chris Craft ; what a classic. Thank you.
Many fond memories of time spent together in Hidden Harbor and deer hunting. His deer hunting hospitality was second to none. Sad to read about Mark’s passing at such a young age. Mark touched many lives, thoughtfully.
My sincere sympathy to the family. He will be missed.
