Jonathon Joe Herzog, age 45, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, July 2, 2023.
A Celebration of Life for Jon will be held at the Koepsell-Murray Funeral Home in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin on Monday, July 17, 2023, at 4:00 p.m. Visitation for Jon will be held at the funeral home in Beaver Dam on Monday, July 17, 2023, from 2:00 p.m. until the time of service at 4:00 p.m. The Koepsell-Murray Funeral Home in Beaver Dam is located at N7199 N Crystal Lake Road.
Jon was born the son of Steven and Jenice (Cameron) Herzog on June 25, 1978, in Storm Lake, Iowa. Jon attended UW Stevens Point and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Urban Forestry.
Jon was a skilled arborist and was the proud owner of his tree service business, Root Down Tree Service. Jon loved his work but his greatest love of all was his daughter, Samara. They spent precious time together as Jon shared his passion and love of the outdoors through planting gardens, foraging, long walks with his dog, Quercus, hunting, fishing, and anything connected to nature. Jon had a beloved cabin and acreage in Northern Wisconsin where he spent as much time as he could.
Jon was a kind soul who made friends easily and was always willing to help and mentor those around him.
We lost a gentle, compassionate man far too soon and he will be missed by the many people he touched.
Jon is survived by his daughter, Samara Herzog; his mother, Jenice Herzog; his sister, Tami Jacobi (Clint), and Samara’s mom, Sadie O’Dell. He is further survived by Kye and Skyla Herzog, Jane Schadle, Jack (Deb) Cameron, Jim (Cheryl) Cameron, Joni (Cal) Maise, Denise (Tim) Hart, Robin (Kent) Downing, Jean Weisenberger, Terry (Todd) Cameron, Anthony Kernwein, Sandy Uttech, and many more special cousins.
Jon is preceded in death by his father, Steven Herzog; his brother, Troy Herzog; grandparents: Dennis and Margret Herzog, Lois and John Cameron; grandmother, Marion Giles; and uncle, Randy Happli.

Just learned of Jon"s passing. Jon had done a good deal of work on my property over the years. I was always amazed at his climbing ability. I usually had to turn away--he made me nervous, and I was on the ground! When he was in the neighborhood and saw me, he would always stop and chat. We shared a love of fishing so would swap stories. I was proud to inform people that Jon was my "tree guy." He would tell me that when he was in the neighborhood, he liked to keep an eye on the trees he planted in my yard. I will miss his knowledge to help me with my trees. Will definitely miss his kind demeanor.

I’m shocked and saddened to hear of Jon’s passing. We did some tree planting work together years ago, and I was always impressed with his knowledge, work ethic, and passion.
My sincere condolences to his family, and may Jon rest in peace.

We were shocked to hear of Jon's passing. We have had Jon work on our tree care for sometime now and I actually just talked to him on our property last winter about how we can trim our willow tree. He was a very kind soul and loved his work. We will miss him very much. God bless you Jon. Scott and Mary

We send our thoughts and prayers to Joe's family. Joe did wow for us, cutting trees and shrubs down and removing stumps a couple times for us. He truly was a great guy. May his spirit fly free in the forest he loved. He will be truly missed by all the people he met!
