Eric Howard Brunner

Eric Howard Brunner of Fredonia passed away in the comfort of his family home  surrounded by love and family on Monday, Nov. 11, 2024, at the age of 64.

He was born the beloved son of Howard and Elaine (Bohn) Brunner in Port Washington on Feb. 26, 1960.

Eric was a proud graduate of Ozaukee High School.

He owned and operated S & E Glass in Fredonia, serving Ozaukee County with commercial, residential and auto glass needs for over 15 years.

Eric was a true outdoorsman. He enjoyed every aspect, from trapping beaver to hunting whitetail and black bear in Wisconsin with his family and friends. He followed his dream and headed west to live in Montana at the Gates of The Mountains near the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. With a beautiful mountainous backdrop, he spent his time working, fishing and hunting elk, coyotes and antelope for 14 years before returning home to Wisconsin.

After returning, Eric found much joy in spending time with his family, especially his grandson Liam. Eric devoted his time to teaching Liam how to hunt, fish and trap, just as how he grew up.

Those left to cherish Eric’s memory include his devoted daughter Stephanie (Brian) Bahr; adored grandson Liam; mother Elaine Brunner; siblings Dan (Bonnie) Brunner, Dave (Sandy) Brunner, Clare (Joe) Ott, Cecilia Brunner, Cindy (Steve) Kocher, Sarah (Skip) Wallner, Tom Brunner and Rebecca (Michael) Stroede. He is further survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his father Howard, nephew Kevin Watry and niece Lindsay Kocher.
