Kenneth Matthew Jacobchick, age 70, passed away peacefully at home in the Town of Lebanon on Monday, February 23, 2026 following a valiant fight against cancer.

Ken was born in Milwaukee, WI on April 16, 1955, to Matthew and Lucille (Vosz) Jacobchick. He was raised in New Berlin and Mukwanago and graduated in 1973 from Mukwanago High School. After graduation, Ken joined Local 669 Sprinkler Fitters Union dedicating 37 years until retiring to his home in 2010 in the Town of Lebanon, northwest of New London.

During retirement, Ken enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, and traveling. His greatest passion, however, was time spent in his shop working on cars, trucks, mini-bikes and almost anything with an engine and wheels. His shop was his happy place. Ken will be remembered for his meticulous nature and pride for his work.

Ken served as President of the Northport Snowriders for two years and served as a trail boss for another number of years, getting permission from landowners and laying out trails. He also volunteered for the annual Symco Vintage Car Show and was an active member of the Goonies Minibike Club and participated in the Northern Round-up.

Ken was preceded in death by his parents, Matthew and Lucille Jacobchick; the mother of his children, Linda Jacobchick; his beloved significant other, Char Thomack; his grandparents, and numerous other family members and close friends. 

He is survived by his brother, Robert (Wava) Jacobchick; his children: Karley Jacobchick, Kelly (Aaron) Laedtke, Matthew (Kelsey) Jacobchick; nephews: Peter Jacobchick and Joseph Jacobchick; his grandchildren: Charley, Carter Lynn, and Luca; and his significant other, Mary Green.
