Jeffrey G. Meulemans

Jeffrey G. Meulemans, age 66, passed away on December 24, 2025, as a result of an auto accident that took place on December 16, 2025. He was born May 27, 1959, in Kaukauna, WI, to Ralph and Mary Alice (De Bruin) Meulemans. He grew up in Kaukauna and attended high school there. Upon graduating, he married his high school sweetheart, Julianne Hartstern on June 16, 1978. They began their family soon after and raised their boys in Kaukauna as well. In 1984 he began Prestige Auto Sales in Appleton, which has since moved to Forest Junction. Julianne passed away in 1999. In 2005, Jeff married Beth Wiesner and they have shared the last 20 years.

Jeff was a man of simple pleasures. He was a man who worked hard throughout his life. His motto was: “If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life.” He was always active, busy and seldom sat down. He loved to attend auto auctions and always stayed up to date on the goings on in the auto industry. Every week he used that time to reconnect with his fellow auto dealers. His hard work and dedication allowed him to create a legacy in his sons who now run the business.

He loved to race cars, and raced at various racetracks around the Midwest, achieving some championships along the way. He enjoyed fishing and enjoyed doing so with his sons. Jeff and Beth enjoyed their home in Florida. They loved spending time near the water under the sun. They also enjoyed time spent with their neighbors and with their church family. Jeff had an impressive collection of sharks teeth that he was always keen to add onto.

Jeff’s gifts flowed freely to all who knew him. He was a loyal and positive influence on all who came into his world. His honesty carried into his business, and he was well-known to all. He had a focus on faith throughout his life and found value in sharing his faith with others. He was easy going, funny and had an easy smile that lit up a room.

He is survived by his wife Beth, sons Jason (Traci) Meulemans and Justin (Julie) Meulemans; grandchildren Raelyn, Nova, Kathryn, Jordyn, Mira, and Mylah; stepchildren: Joe (Amanda) Wiesner, Chris (Leah) Wiesner, Ryan (Marisa) Wiesner, and step grandchildren: Libby, Josiah, Aundrea, Isaiah. In addition, he is survived by his siblings: Ronald (Nancy) Meulemans, Donna Foshee, Bob (Sandy) Meulemans, Carol (Dale) Mignon, Diane (Bob) Vandermause, Jerry (Barb) Meulemans and other relatives, friends and colleagues.

He was preceded in death by his first wife Julianne and his parents.

A visitation will take place on Tuesday January 6, 2026, from 4:00pm until 7:00pm, at Christ the Rock Community Church, W6254 US Hwy 10 114, Menasha. A memorial service will follow at 7:00pm.

Jeff’s family would like to thank the first responders, Calumet County Sherriff Dept, ThedaStar, ThedaCare Neenah, and all the doctors, nurses and ICU staff for their compassionate care.
