  Merckx, John V. "The Old Man" John Merckx, of McFarland, formerly of Kimberly, age 72, passed away on Wednesday, March 7, 2007, at UW-Hospital, Madison. He was born October 19, 1934, in Kau-kauna, the son of the late August and Gabriel Merckx. John married Evelyn Alt on December 3, 1976, in Belleville, Wisconsin. Dad fought a rare blood condition day by day, week by week and year by year and yet, he rolled with the punches and never backed down to this disease. We witnessed a man with great courage accepting each battle thrown at him and each time he came out a winner. Our Dad's positive attitude and love for his family was no match for this terrible disease. His sense of humor and will to live was our inspiration that we will carry with us the rest of our lives. He is survived by his wife, Evelyn, McFarland; daughter, Andrea (Jonathon) Dobbs, Madison; eight sons: Perry, Combined Locks; Greg, Kevin "Whale" (special friend Barb Jahnke), Richard and Jonathan "Tonnage" all of Kimberly; Jamie "Zig" (Chris), Darboy; Paul "Fuzz" (Amy), Darboy and Brett (Corey), Oshkosh; mother of John's sons: Rita (Sam) Mazelin; 13 grandchildren: Keely, Taylor, Kiefer, Matthew, Kacie, Nicole (Tom) Veiau, Justin, Tyler, Kyle, Eryn, Amanda, Mason and Megan; two great-grandchildren: Alex and Cael; brother, Frank (Laura); sisters: Margaret (Gene) Ashauer and Mary "Mic" Desotell, all of Kaukauna. John is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother-in-law, Don Desotell. The funeral liturgy for John will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 17, 2007, at HOLY CROSS CATHOLIC CHURCH, 309 Desnoyer St., Kaukauna, with Fr. Jack Mullarkey officiating. Inurnment will take place at the parish cemetery. Friends may call at the church on Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. until the time of mass. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund will be established in his name. The family would like to thank the Oncology Unit, all of the doctors, nurses and aids at the University Hospital in Madison, especially every one on 6th floor. A special thanks goes to Dr. Ann Mcbride, who was his primary doctor and a person he thought the world of. He lived life to the fullest. Tim McGraw wrote a song "Live Like You Were Dying." Dad did just that and he had the chance to leave on his terms with dignity and grace surrounded by his family. I hope we all get the chance to live like we were dying the way our old man did. Dad, you taught us well. FARGO FUNERAL HOME 400 W. Wisconsin Ave. Kaukauna 920-766-6200
