Adam John

Schoenherr

On Saturday, June 6, 2026, Adam John Schoenherr passed away from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident at the age of 42, leaving a tremendous void in the lives of those who were fortunate enough to know and love him.

Adam was born on May 23, 1984, in Madison, WI.  He grew up in Jefferson, was confirmed at St. John's Lutheran School and graduated from Jefferson High School as a member of the class of 2002.

After graduation, Adam became an apprentice meat cutter and thus began his career with Pick 'n Save where he held the title of Meat Department Manager in several area stores, most recently being in Sun Prairie.  Adam was a devoted and hardworking employee and will be greatly missed by his co-workers and customers.

Adam was kindhearted and fun loving.  He told great stories, was always up to trying something new, and had a gift for picking up new things quickly.  He was a well-rounded athlete, playing sports from a young age through adulthood.

In recent years, he found enjoyment with family and friends, vacationing in Door County, seeing plays at the Fireside Theater, playing bocce ball and shuffleboard, and entertaining in his driveway.  Adam was a grill master and a food connoisseur, often experimenting with exotic ingredients and flavors.  You could often find him sitting in his garage, having a cigar, listening to music, and watching the birds on his many bird feeders.

Adam had a love for music and a passion for singing.  He had an incredible voice and shared his gift with others through karaoke.  His talent and love for music was passed on to his son, Wyatt, who recently began sharing the stage with him.

Wyatt was Adam's pride and joy.  He was incredibly proud of Wyatt's compassion and devotion to others and his academic achievements.  He was excited for Wyatt's next adventure, attending UW Whitewater, this fall.

Adam is survived by his son, Wyatt Schoenherr, of Jefferson; his parents, Denise Tucker and John (Shari) Schoenherr of Jefferson; brother, Chad Schoenherr (Kelly Kucharski) of Jefferson; brother, Brett (Andrea) Schoenherr of Oregon; sister, Taylor Schoenherr of West Salem; and his grandmothers, Lois Tucker and Janice Schoenherr of Jefferson.  Adam is also survived by his nephews and niece, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Adam was preceded in death by his brother, Scott Thomas, and grandfathers, Melvin Tucker and Merlin Schoenherr.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, July 3, 2026, from 4pm-8pm at the VFW in Jefferson, WI.

Your presence, love, and support are what mean the most to us during this time.  If you wish to honor Adam's memory, the family asks that you consider contributing to Wyatt's future as he prepares to attend college.

Adam's family would like to thank the Helenville FD/First Responders, Jefferson EMS, JCEC, and Sheriff's Department for their service, as well as Claussen Funeral Home.
