Timothy L. Lehman

Timothy L. Lehman, age 51, of Wautoma, passed away unexpectedly, Thursday night, October 16, 2025 at his residence.

He was born June 8, 1974 in Wild Rose Wisconsin, the son of David Lehman and Joan Moore (Zuehlke). He had two children Justin and Courtney Thomsen with Laura Thomsen. He married Michelle Kluck on August 23, 2003. They had four children Matthew, Blake, Annilee, and Stephanie Lehman. They divorced in 2023. He was engaged to marry Jill Presser October 18, 2025.

Tim grew up in Waushara County and worked as a carpenter, farmer, mechanic and a truck driver until he became disabled in 2009. He continued to do side jobs as his chronic pain would allow him to. He started his own trucking company Country Transport to work on gaining his independence and continue a family tradition of trucking. His chronic pain would overcome him and he would have to stop trucking in 2023.

Tim loved serving the community and working with children. He could always be counted on to assist in food stands at sporting events, the County Fair in the livestock barns and through 4-H, or working and teaching many of Wautoma area children about farming and working on vehicles. He would help local farmers repair things and come to assist anyone on a moment’s notice. He was one of those guys you always knew you could call, day or night, and he would be there even if

it caused him pain. This is the Tim we all need to remember as this was the true Tim.

Tim is survived by his children Justin and Courtney Thomsen, Matthew, Blake, Annilee, and Stephanie Lehman, six grandchildren (Kobe, Anthony, Jeremiah, Veronica, McKenna, and Lena) His ex-wife, Michelle Lehman (Kluck) and his fiancé Jill Presser, his parents David (Norrie) Lehman, Joan (Harold) Moore, his siblings, Tammy (Brian) Anderson, Shawn (Colleen) Lehman, Richard “Rick”(Kerry) Lehman, Robert (Sheila) Lehman; numerous nieces and nephews; further survived by other relatives and friends.

Tim was preceded in death by his grandparents, former father-in-law Karl Kluck and lifelong friend James “Jimmy” Wacholtz

Per Tim’s wishes there will be no funeral services. He will be laid to rest through cremation.Any donations that are made will be used to create a memorial or donation to charity in Tim’s name and can be made through Stahl funeral home.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see if the

sun should rise and find your eyes, are filled with tears for me. I wish

so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today, while thinking of

the many things we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you love me as much as I love you and each time

you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too. But when tomorrow

starts without me, please try to understand that an angel came and

called my name and took me by the hand. They said my place was

ready in heaven far above and that I’d have to leave behind all those

I dearly love but when I walked through Heaven’s gate I felt so much

at home when God looked down and smiled at me from His great

golden throne he said this is eternity and all I promised you today

your life on earth is past but here it starts anew I promise no

tomorrow for today will always last and since each day’s the same

way there’s no longing for the past

So when tomorrow starts without me don’t think we’re far apart for

every time you think of me I’m right here in your heart
