Brian D. Humblet

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Brian D. Humblet, a beloved husband, son, father, grandfather, and friend, who passed away peacefully at home on August 29, 2024 surrounded by those he cherished most. 

Born on June 15, 1965 in Green Bay, WI Brian had a deep love for the simple pleasures in life with his world revolving around his family, friends, and his passions for fishing and hunting.

A dedicated family man, Brian found immense joy in the company of his family and granddaughters and treasured every moment spent with them. When not with his family, fishing was his favorite pastime. Brian was known for his warm spirit and memorable sayings with the loved adage he inherited from his father: "The worst day of fishing is still better than your best day of work." His last weekend was spent doing what he loved most—relaxing with family, enjoying the company of his granddaughters and spending time on the water.

He was a fan of sports and enjoyed hunting and bowling. An avid collector, Brian had a special fondness for Snoopy and Blatz memorabilia.

Brian is survived by his wife, Jennifer (Huebner) Humblet of Eau Claire WI, mother, Yvonne (VerKuilen) Humblet of De Pere, WI; mother-in-law Bernice (Kriescher) Huebner of Shawano, WI; children, Jordan Humblet of De Pere, WI, Jacob (Meyhlou) Humblet of Eau Claire, WI, Jace (Brittany) Kortbein of Eden Prairie, MN, Lucas (Mallory) Humblet of Saint Paul, MN, and Mitchell Kortbein of Eau Claire, WI; granddaughters Elyse and Lilyen Humblet of Eau Claire, WI. Brian is also remembered by numerous aunts, uncles, brother and sister-in-laws, cousins, extended family members and friends. Preceding Brian in death are his father, Douglas Humblet of De Pere, WI; his father-in-law, Marlin Huebner of Shawano, WI; and grandparents, Lloyd Humblet, Helen (Elst) Humblet of Morrison, WI, Sylvester VerKuilen, Mary (Miller) VerKuilen of De Pere, WI. 

Brian's kindness and gentle nature touched the lives of everyone who knew him. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered. His legacy of joy, simplicity, and love will forever be cherished.
