Tom F. Hutjens, 35, De Pere, passed away Wednesday, September 26, 2012 at a local hospital after an eleven year battle with Muscular Dystrophy. He was born August 31, 1977 to Louie and Patti (Gossen) Hutjens.
Tom bravely faced the challenges of each and every day. He was honored to have worked as herd manager for Dave and Jerry Stencil at Stencil Farms. They allowed him to work until he decided he could no longer do the job. We are forever grateful to their families.
Tom looked forward to and made every effort to attend Saturday night mass and then would go out to eat with family and friends. Uncle Bill made him laugh with his stories.
