Gregory A. Hilbrich

Gregory A. Hilbrich, 63, of Beaver Dam passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 23, 2020 at his home surrounded by his family.

Greg was born September 8th, 1956 in Chicago, Illinois to Lawrence and Audrey(Ewald) Hilbrich. He proudly served his country in the US Navy from 1974-1977. Greg loved the Chicago Bears and the Cubs, even through all the jokes and prodding that comes with living in Wisconsin. On September 29th, 1984, he married Christine Donaldson. They lived in Chicago, Illinois until 1993 when they moved their family to Beaver Dam Wisconsin.

Greg had many jobs throughout his life, mostly pertaining to his love of cars and anything with an engine. He loved restoring American muscle cars, with the last one being a 1970 Camaro with his son Brandon. He won many awards over the years at car shows, and loved taking his family for car rides to explore Wisconsin on nice summer days.

Greg is survived by his wife of 35 years, Christine, his daughter, Cassie (Kyle) Rockefeller and their daughter Ellie Neva, his son Brandon (Samantha) Hilbrich and their daughter Alyssa. He is further survived by his mother in law M. Neva Donaldson of Beaver Dam WI, sister in law Kay(Glenn) Fichter of Aurora Illinois, Jean(Terry) Sullivan of Georgia, brother Tom Hilbrich, several nieces and nephews and many friends. He was preceded in death by his parents Larry and Audrey Hilbrich, his father in law Robert Donaldson, and several Aunts and Uncles.

A memorial service and celebration of life will be held later this summer, 2020. Greg’s family would like to thank the Marshfield Medical Center of Beaver Dam and Hillside Hospice for all of the help provided throughout this time.

Memorials may be directed to Hillside Hospice in Beaver Dam.
