Lloyd Glenn Kamrath

Lloyd Glenn Kam­rath, 76, of Mayville, passed away peace­fully on Mon­day, July 17, 2023, with his beloved wife, Bon­nie, at his side, at St. Mary’s Hos­pi­tal in Madi­son.
Lloyd was born the son of Hilbert and Elvira (Kuehl) Kam­rath on Oc­to­ber 28, 1946. He grew up on a small fam­ily farm out­side of Mayville, which in­stilled in him an in­cred­i­ble work ethic, love for the out­doors, and strong be­lief in faith, fam­ily, and friends. He was af­fec­tion­ately known as “Sonny” by his par­ents. Lloyd was united in mar­riage to his beloved Bon­nie Jean Schultz on Au­gust 18, 1973, at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Neosho. To­gether, they would work their own dairy farm, build a fam­ily, and cel­e­brate nearly 50 years of mar­riage.
Lloyd was an in­cred­i­bly de­voted hus­band, fa­ther, grand­fa­ther, and an amaz­ing ex­am­ple of hard work and quiet de­ter­mi­na­tion. Lloyd worked all his life to pro­vide for his wife, chil­dren, and grand­kids as a dairy farmer and, later in life, a metal fin­isher. He loved spend­ing time on the front porch with his wife, Bon­nie, lis­ten­ing to the “barn show” or Bob Uecker call­ing a Brew­ers game while look­ing at his well-main­tained lawn, marigolds, petu­nias, and rose bushes. He was an in­cred­i­bly tal­ented and ath­letic cross-coun­try run­ner be­fore grad­u­at­ing from Mayville High School in 1965. He will be re­mem­bered for his love of lemon torte, lemon bars, rasp­berry torte, re­ally any dessert, chicken spread, Amer­ica’s Fun­ni­est Home Videos, a Fri­day night fish fry, polka danc­ing, and a whiskey old fash­ioned. He loved Wis­con­sin sports teams, at­tend­ing hun­dreds of his kids and grand­kids sport­ing events, mu­si­cals, plays, tak­ing his grand­kids fish­ing on his boat, and play­ing sheepshead with his close cir­cle of friends. We will never for­get his jolly laugh, big heart, and will­ing­ness to give any mem­ber of his fam­ily the shirt off his back or last dol­lar in his wal­let. He was often a man of few words, but al­ways able to show his chil­dren and grand­chil­dren they were deeply loved with a sim­ple hug or a few words of en­cour­age­ment.
Lloyd is sur­vived by his wife, Bon­nie, of Mayville; four chil­dren, Joel (Chris) Kam­rath of Wa­ter­town, Jamey Kam­rath and Cleo Mueller (spe­cial friend) of Mayville, Benji (Melinda) Kam­rath of Wa­ter­town and Nicole (Adam) Oestre­ich of Mayville; 10 grand­chil­dren, Alexus, Han­nah, Colin, Brae­dyn, Pax­ton, Reece, Olivia, Brevon, Nahla, Sul­ley; his sis­ter, Kris (Jeff) Jaster of Theresa; as well as other rel­a­tives and friends.
He was pre­ceded in death by his par­ents, Hilbert and Elvira Kam­rath and his sis­ter, Diane Kam­rath.
