Lon J. Grimm

Lon J. Grimm, age 63, of Two Rivers, passed away peacefully Monday evening, December 20, 2021, surrounded by his family.
Lon was born on November 29, 1958 in Green Bay to Mildred (Luedtke) Grimm and the late Ervin Grimm. He grew up on the family farm in Reedsville; one of 11 children. On November 10, 1979, Lon married the love of his life Mari Graykowski at St. John-St. James Lutheran Church in Reedsville. Two weeks before his third son was born, Lon started work at Weyerhauser/International Paper, retiring in June this year after 35 years. He was an extraordinarily skilled handyman who was always there to help his family and friends with a project. He attributed his exceptional talents to God and worked in His glory. Lon "enjoyed" camping and adventures with his family, woodworking and bird watching, tractor projects with his brother, and flying RC airplanes and recreational shooting with his family. Lon was a man of devoted faith and enjoyed spending time in his church and reading his daily scripture.
Survivors include his wife: Mari; three sons and a daughter-in-law: Aaron, Matthew “Boomer” and Carissa, and David; five grandchildren: Brandon Grimm, Dominic Grimm, Hunter May, Alex Mankovecky and Oliver Grimm; his mother: Mildred Grimm of Manitowoc and his brothers and sisters: Bruce (Barb) Grimm, Debbie Grimm, Cindy Grimm, Julie (Cliff) Vigue, Sherrie (Donald) Tollefson, Patti Gorr, Mark (Jackie) Grimm, Deanne (Lenny) Lewis, Darlene (Shannon) Liptow and Danny (Tina) Grimm. He is further survived by his in-laws: Larry (Kathy) Graykowski, Debra (Jim) Shepard, Bonnie (Terry) Bonlander, Karen Wampole and Allen (Calle) Graykowski; along with nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. In addition to his father, he was also preceded in death by his father-in-law and mother-in-law: Stanley and Diana Graykowski.
