Gary A. Wolters, 55, of Pleasant Prairie, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 14, 2012, at St. Catherine’s Medical Center with his family at his side.
Born in Grand Rapids, MI, on January 23, 1957, he was the son of Loren and Betty (Gilde) Wolters. He was educated in the schools of Grand Rapids, MI, and graduated from Creston High School. He lived in both Florida and Michigan before returning to Kenosha in 2000 to make his home.
On August 8, 1990, he married Leigh Albrecht in Ann Arbor, MI.
Gary worked for various companies as a Sales Engineer traveling extensively. He loved skiing, backpacking, scuba diving, golfing, watching sports, and vacations by the beach. He was very knowledgeable with technology and was a “Jack of all trades.”
Gary was a loving father and a giving friend. His sense of humor always brought a smile to our faces. His son will carry on Gary’s love of technology and Rachel will never forget her “Poppy.”
Surviving are his wife, Leigh of Pleasant Prairie; his parents, Loren and Betty Wolters of Grand Rapids, MI; two children, Ryan J. Wolters and Rachel L. Wolters, both of Pleasant Prairie; a brother, Lewis E. (Pat) Wolters of Michigan; a sister, Michelle (Dennis) Tietz of Michigan; and 13 nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, memorials to the family to be used for his children’s educational expenses would be greatly appreciated.
