Paul Anton Feuling
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Paul Feuling, a cherished husband, devoted father of 4, affectionate grandfather to 14, and beloved great-grandfather to 7. Paul left us peacefully on March 6, 2025 at the age of 87, exactly 15 years from the passing of his beloved wife Barbara.
He was born on May 24th, 1937 in Arcadia WI.
He always dedicated himself to uplifting those around him, fueled by an unshakeable Catholic faith with a kindness that touched countless lives. His love for his family was a guiding light, always there to offer them unwavering support and wise counsel.
Over the years, Paul faced the challenges of Parkinson’s and chronic pain, but his indomitable spirit shone through every trial. His courage in the face of adversity was nothing short of inspirational, reminding us all of the strength found in faith. Despite any of life’s struggles, Paul never allowed them to define him, choosing instead to focus on the love and joy that surrounded him.
As a husband, he showed what true partnership looks like, nurturing a bond with Barbara that was filled with humor, tenderness, and unconditional love. As a father, his advice and encouragement strengthened his children Steven (Helen), Robert (Heidi), Donald (Suzanne), Dale (Kathryn) and he took great pride in their accomplishments. As a grandfather and great-grandfather, he reveled in the joys of family gatherings, creating beautiful memories and imparting lessons that will carry on for generations. Paul had an incredible talent for bringing people together. Whether through prayer, the rosary, or lending a helping hand to those in need, Paul made an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to know him. He was a beacon of light, embodying the essence of God’s compassion and grace.
Preceeded in death by wife Barbara and son Steven, infant grandson Josef, his sister Theresa Julson, father Anton and mother Antoinette.
A celebration of his extraordinary life will be held

The smartest and most humble man I have ever known. He was a true friend to everyone. He will be missed.
Uncle Paul was the rare person who gave full attention to whomever he spoke with, always with a kind word or gentle humor. I’ll miss him always.
It’s really hard to put into words just how much my father meant to all of us, but I will do my best to honor him and share some of the incredible memories we have. Paul was a man whose heart knew no bounds. He quietly dedicated his life to helping others, whether it was fixing a neighbor’s lawnmower, lending a hand to a coworker in need, or simply being there to pray and listen. He had an extraordinary gift of generosity that extended far beyond material things; it was in his time, his mechanical skills, his attention, and his unwavering support.
As children, my brothers and I often felt like we were part of a small army that Dad led with love and laughter. He taught us the value of hard work and the importance of caring for those around us. We watched him build things and fix anything that broke, from our toys to our family car, and he always seemed to have the right tool for the job, as well as the right words to make it all seem easy. That practical wisdom, paired with his endless patience, made him not just a father but a true teacher in our lives. Dad was not just a father to us; he was a friend to many in our community. He was that kind and caring neighbor who brought people together, always checking in on others, especially the elderly and disabled. I remember him visiting the homes of those who were lonely or struggling, offering a warm smile, a helping hand, and most importantly, his prayers. His commitment to visiting nursing homes and care facilities as part of his parish elder ministry was a testament to his compassionate spirit. He would often gather with residents, praying the rosary together, bringing a sense of peace and connection to those who needed it most. His love for Barbara, my mother, was a shining example for all of us. They were married for more than 50 wonderful years, sharing countless memories, joys, and challenges. Even after her passing in 2010, Dad carried her memory with him in everything he did. Their love story was one of dedication and partnership, and it shaped the way we all view love and commitment in our own lives. As a Grampy to 14 grandchildren and a Great Grampy to 7 great-grandchildren, Dad’s legacy continues to live on. His eyes would light up at the sight of them, and he reveled in sharing stories, laughter, and wisdom. Each grandchild had a special bond with him, and he made it a point to be involved in their lives, attending games, recitals, and family gatherings. He understood the importance of family and made sure to pass down traditions, values, and the love he felt in his heart. In remembering Dad, I want us all to celebrate the beautiful life he led—a life filled with love, kindness, and an unwavering commitment to helping those around him. Let us carry forward his legacy of generosity, compassion, and faith. Let us remember him not just in our tears but in our smiles, in the stories we share, and in the ways we choose to honor his memory by being there for others, just as he always was. Thank you, Dad, for everything. You have left an indelible mark on our hearts, one that will continue to inspire us every day. We love you and miss you dearly. May you rest in peace until we meet again.
My condolences. Mr. Feuling was one of nicest guys I’ve met through the years. He always seemed to be smiling. My prayers are with your family.
Paul Feuling was one of the kindest, most humble men I ever met. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone; never wanting to take any money. He kindly and willingly shared his time and talents with many people. His pride and strong love for his family was very evident every time you saw him with a family member. And the love and respect shown to him by his family was very heartwarming.
When I think of Paul, I can’t help but think, “I wish there were more people in the world like Paul. If so, the world would be a better place.”
I’m very sorry that Paul is gone, but II’m happy that he is no longer in pain and that he’s in Heaven with Jesus and reunited with his beloved wife Barbara, his son Steve and his infant grandson Josef.
A life lived well and with much love, never really ends, but goes on forever in the hearts of those who remember. Paul will live in all of our hearts forever.
Paul lived a life that our Lord and Savior will be proud of. We will miss you .
i’ll always remember mr. feuling, he was one of my favorites at heritage elm grove. god bless his soul and family.
I will echo some of the things said above, Uncle Paul was truly a kind, compassionate, nice, gentle man of great faith. I too remember him as the man who could fix anything, always help a neighbor, and was deeply involved with his church. His love for my Aunt Barbara and his children was always evident, he was not afraid to stand up to his sometimes gruff father-in-law, my Grandfather William Goell, and always saw the positive and good in any situation and person, despite the physical pain he may have been in. I will remember the family holiday get-togethers at the Milwaukee Goell house when children, and years later at his house with my parents, And I will always picture him with a smile on his face, and a small dog in his arms…rest in peace Uncle Paul.
Condolences to the family – especially Bob, whom I know to be carrying on his Dad’s great legacy.
Sincerest condolences to the entire family. Barbara & Paul were dear friends of our parents, Norma & Bob Kopplin, and two of the most respectable, kind, thoughtful, compassionate, and faith-filled people I have ever known! They both lived a life filled with love for each other, for their family, and for our Lord & Savior!! Grant them eternal rest, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them!
Our sympathies to the Feuling family. Paul will dearly missed.We have known the Feuling family for 55+ years. We couldn’t have had better friends. Their faith shone through in their daily lives. Their son Don had beautiful tributes for their dad. Bless Paul as he has joined Barbara in the beauty of heaven.
