Donald Yaggie

Donald Sidney Yaggie passed away on Wednesday November 15, 2017, doing what he loved, deer-hunting at his cabin. He was born on November 8, 1953 in Milwaukee, WI. He graduated from Brown Deer High School in 1971 and went on to UW-Stevens Point. After college, he worked in sales for several trucking companies in Green Bay and Eau Claire before finally settling in Wausau. He later worked as a sales rep for Fahrner Asphalt for 20 plus years before retiring in November 2016. He married Jean Specht on May 17, 1986 in Sheboygan, she survives. If Don was not in the woods with his English Setter, Brandy, (who enjoyed hunting as much as he did) you would find him fishing from Canada to Minnesota and Northern Wisconsin all year round.

He is further survived by his niece Stephanie (Eric) who has meant so much to him. He was preceded in death by his parents, Donald H. and Marcella Yaggie and mother in law Evelyn (Harvey) Specht. Funeral Services will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, November 20, 2017 at Brainard Funeral Home - Everest Chapel, 5712 Memorial Court, Weston. Rev. Wes Jedras will officiate.
