Floyd Raymond Klug, 89, of the Town of Scott, passed away on Wednesday June 1, 2022, at his home with his wife, Laura, by his side.
He was born on April 12, 1933 in the Town of Scott, the son of the late Raymond and Leta (Wilke) Klug. He was baptized in the Town of Scott and was confirmed in 1946. He was a 1951 graduate of Random Lake High School. On October 22, 1960, he was united in marriage to Laura Marie Koepsell at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Mayville, Wisconsin.
Floyd served in the United States Navy from 1956-1957 aboard the U.S.S. Everglades. After his service in the Navy, Floyd returned to hauling milk for various companies with the majority of his time spent working for Wilbur Pfeiffer Company. In addition to hauling milk, Floyd worked on the homestead farm in the Town of Scott and, after marrying Laura, on the Walter and Irene Koepsell dairy farm in Mayville. In 1973, Floyd and Laura purchased the homestead farm in the Town of Scott which he successfully ran until his retirement.
Floyd served in various volunteer roles within the community including being a longstanding member and president of The Beechwood Fire Department, member of the Town of Scott planning commission, and Immanuel Lutheran Church, Town of Scott elder, trustee and chairman.
Floyd loved socializing with others; always ready to strike up a conversation. Floyd and Laura enjoyed attending polka dances with their many friends. Floyd enjoyed cars and was a member of the Classic Car Club.
Floyd was beloved by his family and is survived by his loving wife of nearly 62 years, Laura; his daughter, Doreen (Chris) Van Ells; his grandchildren Kaitlyn (Caleb) Zastrow and Hailey Van Ells (Cal Brook); his sister, Rogene (Dan) Bolander and his brother, Glen (Marge) Klug, as well as other relatives and friends. Floyd was preceded in death by his parents Raymond and Leta Klug.
A visitation for Floyd will be held at Koepsell Funeral Home in Mayville on Tuesday, June 7 from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. and also at St. John Lutheran Church in New Fane on Wednesday, June 8 from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. A funeral service will begin at 1:00 p.m. with the Rev. Mark Eckert officiating military honor to follow with a luncheon to follow. Interment will be at Hochheim Cemetery following the meal.
Memorial donations may be directed to St. John Lutheran Church in New Fane.
The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation for all of those who cared for Floyd with special thanks to Ashley, Kez, and Dawn for all of their devoted care.

I was so sorry to learn of Floyd's passing. A friend from WI sent me the Obituary, so this news finally made it to Arizona. Floyd was a beloved cousin and my dad's (Wallace Klug) favorite. Their family farm was just down the road from ours. We grew up knowing Floyd, Rogene and Glen. I always had the utmost respect for Floyd and his tremendous work ethic. He was one of the most sincere people I have ever met. Loved running into him over the years and getting caught up on life. My deepest sympathy on his passing. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Our deepest sympathy to you Laura and your family. Memories of you and Floyd at so many polka dances, Fireman's picnics (especially Beechwood) and church festivals. Floyd loved visiting with everyone whether it be about farming, polka dances, committees he was on or many other subjects. May your faith, family and friends comfort you during this difficult time. Sorry we're unable to attend Floyd's funeral but our thoughts and prayers are with you.🙏💞

Floydy, my ‘sweetheart’, I will forever cherish the last few years we spent together. From the kwik trip donuts, polka music, to singing songs to each other I will always remember you. You made such an impact on my life & always told everyone how great of a caregiver you had especially when it came to doctor appointments because “I knew everything” in your words. I know you’re up in heaven dancing to polka & riding tractors. You will be so missed. I am so blessed to have taken care of such a sweet soul. Rest In Peace my love! Love, Ashley “pug hair”

Laura and family. I extend my sympathies with the passing of Floyd. I looked forward to whenever he brought Shirley to Random Lake when he would scoot over to my house during the time she was having her hair done and 'shoot the breeze'. I am sure he will be missed by many but nobody more than the family May he rest in peace.
