George Dammann

George H. Dammann, 77, Spencer, passed away on Thursday, Aug. 28, 2025. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

George was born on July 19, 1948, in La Crosse, and later adopted at an early age by John and Edna (Schmidt) Dammann. He attended Nekoosa High School. In 1975, George married Connie Ripley in New Miner, but they later divorced. He did a lot of farming throughout his life including running a large sheep farm, working on a few potato farms, and his own small hobby farm. He also cut pulpwood for Mike Bertotto.

George enjoyed working on cars and helping those in need. His many hobbies involved being outdoors: fishing, hunting and camping, and ice fishing. Also, just sitting outside with his friends, telling stories or working on puzzles with them. He loved to be with his children and grandchildren. His greatest passion, more than anything, was the joy he found spending time with his grandchildren doing whatever they could dream up — watching the older seven of them grow into strong, kind young adults, and the two younger grandchildren following closely in their footsteps.

George is survived by his five children: Jon (Jess) Dammann of Wisconsin Rapids, Melissa (Troy) Pue of Colby, Amy (Zach) Schmitt of Loyal, Kristi Kulbacki of Loyal, and Mandy (Lee) Bochanyin of Bonduel; nine grandchildren: Shayla, Hunter, Kaitlyn, Kyden, Cohlton, Jayden, Asher, Nova, and Axel; and his best friend and fishing and hunting partner, Alan Arendt.

He was preceded in death by his parents. George will be missed by so many of his close friends and neighbors, and his granddogs that loved to see him, and spend time with him outside. He was a devoted father and grandfather, cherished for so many reasons by his grandchildren and their friends who looked up to him and called him “Gramps.”
