Jerome Michael Lachman

STODDARD — Jerome Michael Lachman, 19, of Stoddard has passed away in a tragic accident. He left this world in the place that he loved most, the beautiful wooded area near his home. He was born April 16, 1992.

Jerome was an avid nature lover. His yearly calendar ran by the season; turkey, trout, aspargras, morel mushrooms, bass, rabbit, pheasant, bow and gun deer seasons made up his calendar, not the months.

Jerome is survived by his parents, Lisa and Steven Lachman of Stoddard; his brother, Steven Daniel Lachman, Lacrosse; grandparents,  Suzanne and Michael Mashak of Union Center. He is further survived by aunts and uncles, Jill (Butch) Fillner, of Coon Valley, Corey (Danielle) Mashak of Tucson, Ariz., Aron (Meredith) Mashak of Lodi, Wis., Jerome (Bonnie) Lachman Jr. of New Richmond, Wis., Gail (Joe) Solberg, Liz (Kevin) Woods, Mary Baldazarre, Jane (Tom) Buss, Chris (Tammy) Lachman, of Madison, Wis., Mike (Sue) Lachman of Rice Lake, Wis., Fred (Verona) Lachman, James (Connie) Lachman, Laurie (Dan) Lachman, and Ann (Troy) Lachman, of La Crosse. His nephews, John and Wyatt; and many, many cousins survive this tragic loss also.

Jerome’s classmates continue to be a source of support. Special thanks to Austin and Megan, Jackson, Andy, the Kaitlins, Russell, Chip, Lucas, Colton, and Matthew, and so many more.

He is proceeded in death by his paternal grandparents, Pauline and Jerome Lachman of LaCrosse.

The good Lord must have been hungry for fresh fish, for He has taken our best catch home with Him.
