Mantik, Jerald Matthew
Jerald Matthew Mantik, age 74, of Abbotsford, was called home by his Lord on Saturday evening, July 6, 2013, with his wife and children by his side at Aspirus Wausau Hospital. Jerry was born on April 12, 1939 on Hillcrest Dairy Farm near Milan, Wisconsin. He was the first son of Fred August and Emilie Pauline (Paulson) Mantik. Jerry attended Dixon Country School a mile from their home and graduated from Abbotsford High School in 1957. Jerry married his sweetheart Carolyn Mae Heldt. For the first 10 years of their marriage, Jerry & Carol farmed on Highway 29 near Athens. During this time, Jerry also drove school bus for Athens Schools and worked at the Frankfort Cheese Factory. In 1968, with their 7th child on the way, they bought Hillcrest Dairy Farm from Jerry's father, Fred. There, Jerry and Carol raised their seven children. Throughout their married life, Jerry loved to have fun and spend time with family and friends. With Carol at his side, they organized many events including family gatherings, musical events, and billiard and card parties. He had many hobbies during his lifetime, including bowling, playing cards, softball, attending ball games of his grandchildren. He sponsored many softball and bowling teams at the Milan Softball Diamond and Duke's Bowl in Abbotsford. He was an avid sports fan and could always be found listening to Brewer and Packer games. Jerry was the cornerstone of his family and a true inspiration to all. God and family were his priorities as he led by example every day. On June 30, 2000, Jerry fainted while driving his motorcycle between two of his farm properties. The ensuing accident left him a quadriplegic for the rest of his life. After this tragic event, Jerry became even more of a blessing to each life he touched, living out his faith by displaying constant love for his family, and constant joy and faith in his Lord. He continued to enjoy each day of his life - never failing to encourage others along the way. Whether you were a close friend or someone Jerry just met, he always wanted to talk and learn about your life.
