Randy Eibs

Randy M. Eibs passed away on Saturday, Jan. 22, 2022, at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton after many years of health struggles. He was 68 years old.

Randy was born on Oct. 20, 1953, on Camp Gordon Army Base in Augusta, Ga., to parents Henry and Ruby (Anderson) Eibs.

Randy grew up in Port Washington and graduated from Port Washington High School, Class of 1972.  

He married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Judy Zukaitis, on May 4, 1974, and together they had three children, Christopher, Monica and Amanda.

Randy started work at Johnson Controls right out of high school and worked there for 25 years.

He then worked for Allis Tool & Machine Corp and Neuen’s Fredonia Lumber Company.  

Randy and his family were avid campers and could be found most weekends at their campsite in Sauk City, Wis.  

When not camping, you could find Randy on many Saturdays working on his sister and brother-in-law’s farm, often with his three children, helping build their love of agriculture.

In 1993, Randy realized his dream and together with Judy purchased a hobby farm in Fredonia that was used to support his children’s growing love of showing cattle, pigs and horses in 4-H.

Years later, the farm was converted to a dairy operation until 2015, when it was converted back to a hobby farm for his grandchildren.

Randy was a devoted supporter of his childrens’ 4-H activities and volunteered as a beef project leader with Knellsville 4-H Club during the time his children were involved and served on the board for the Ozaukee County 4-H Leaders Association. He continued to show his support by attending the fair annually to watch his grandchildren show.
    Randy is survived by his wife Judy; children Christopher (Emily), Monica Gahan and Amanda (Brian) Kurlinski; and grandchildren Alexis, Jonathan, Braxton, Kylie, Andrew, Paige, Amaya, Addison and Karissa.

He is also survived by his mother Ruby Eibs, siblings Dawn (Chris) McCormick, Dona (Norm) Winter, Rick (Joanne) Eibs and Jeff (Holly) Eibs.  

Randy had a special place in his heart for his grand-dogs Gauge and Ryder and his beloved faithful companion Milo.

He is further survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

Randy was preceded in death by his father Henry and his parents-in-law Felix and Lucille Zukaitis and nephew Shawn Winter.

A funeral service will be held at Eernisse Funeral Home, 1600 W. Grand Ave., Port Washington, Wis. 53074, at 6 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 31, 2022.

Randy’s family will receive visitors from 4 p.m. until the service at 6 p.m.
