Michael "Mick"

G. Ulrich

It is with great sadness that we share the sudden passing of Michael "Mick" G. Ulrich, 64, of Lake Mills on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at University Hospital in Madison.

He was born on May 10, 1960, the son of Gerry and Karen (Moran) Ulrich.

After his "12 years of public education" he graduated from Lake Mills High School.

After ten years of companionship he married the love of his life, Dr. Jennifer (Wanserski) Jeschke on November 2, 2019.

Mick was a master carpenter, beginning his career in 1978 under the mentorship of Peter Newcomb. A few years later Ulrich Builders was born, and Mick quickly became known for his quality custom homes in Lake Mills and the surrounding area. He was passionate about his craft and poured that passion into his dream cabin in Tomahawk.

Mick was a devoted father, grandfather, and husband who enjoyed being a member of the Lake Mills Golf Club, attending Badger and Packer football games (and tailgating before them) and Marquette basketball. He was known for "Fill the Grill Sunday" as well as for being a master meat smoker.

Hardworking, generous, caring and funny, Mick was always willing to lend a hand to whoever needed it. His bright smile, fun-loving attitude and zest for a good time will be missed.

Survivors include his wife, Jennifer; two sons, Travis (Gillian) Ulrich, Chad (Brooke) Ulrich; four grandchildren, Sloane, Carmine, Venna, Noelle; his mother, Karen Ulrich; one brother, Tom (Karen) Ulrich; one sister, Teri (Doug) Spenske; nieces; nephews; the neighborhood children, including Logan (Emma) Larrabee, Megan Larrabee and Rachel (Josh) Larrabee Pederson; other relatives and many friends.

Mick was a father figure and mentor to many others as well, always keeping the front door at Connor Court open for anyone who would come by. He had an innate way of making everyone feel special, that your relationship with him was unique.

Michael was preceded in death by his father, Gerry Ulrich; his son, Tommy Ulrich; his sister Julie Ulrich and his nephew Andrew Veum.

A Memorial Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Lake Mills.

Friends may call from 3 to 6 p.m. on Friday February 28, 2025, at the Claussen Funeral Home and also after 10 a.m. on Saturday at the church until the time of the mass.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you consider sending a plant to be shared and cherished by loved ones. Contributions to the family to cover medical and funeral expenses are appreciated.
