Jeffrey Daniel Akavickas, 62, of Schofield passed away peacefully in his sleep, the morning of October 18, 2023, after a brief battle with cancer.

Born on April 14th, 1961, to the late Walter and Lorraine Akavickas, in Wausau WI., Jeff grew up in Schofield. He and his twin brother were the youngest of seven children. As a child he attended St Therese Parochial School, and later DC Everest. He made friends easily all throughout his lifetime, and to those who were close to him, he was true and loyal.

Before retiring from the workforce, Jeff spent several years with Greenheck Fan Corp as a laborer. His passions in life were fishing (especially the annual trips to Bay De Noc with his lifelong friend Mikey Geier), hunting, winning at the casinos, and Packer football. He had a great sense of humor, a kind heart and was always the life of the party at our family get togethers. To his nieces and nephews, he was the fun Uncle.

Jeff is preceded in death by his parents, Walter, and Lorraine (Koskey) Akavickas, his sister Diana Krajewski, and his nephew David (Davey) Nemec. He is survived by his biological son Justin Heier; sisters and brothers, Patricia (Richard) Bentley, Kaukauna; Darlene Nemec, Schofield; James (Cindy) Akavickas, Kronenwetter; Kathy (Tim Reed) Combs, Weston; and twin brother Jerome Akavickas, Schofield.

There will be a celebration of life on Saturday, November 4th, from 12:00 noon, until 4:00 pm, at the 19th Hole Bar in Schofield.

You have given all of us so many memories to cherish and share with each other. Your family and friends love you and will truly miss you. Rest in peace Jeff.
