Paul C. Wallace Jr

Paul Charles Wallace, Jr., passed away unexpectedly in an accident on Saturday, October 26, 2024, in Forestville, WI. Paul was born on October 31, 1973, in Appleton, WI, to Paul and Catherine (Bungert) Wallace. They resided on a small dairy farm in Forest Junction (Brillion area) until 1978. At that time, they relocated to the current farm where Paul and his family reside today.

Paul's love of farming started at an early age. You could say it was in his blood as he was a 4th generation dairy farmer - born and raised on a dairy farm. He always enjoyed working with cattle and being on the farm. Throughout high school, Paul was active in FFA, he loved showing his cattle at the Kewaunee County Fair, and enjoyed playing varsity football and basketball at Algoma High School.

Paul graduated from Algoma High School in 1992. He then attended Lakeshore Technical College, earning a certificate in Dairy Herd Management. Before returning to work on the family dairy, he worked for a neighbor.

On April 18, 1998, Paul married Corrina (Buhr) at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Algoma. They resided in Algoma while he continued to build his herd of dairy cattle. They were blessed with two children, Aidan and Emersyn. They were truly his pride and joy, he adored them. He loved to spend time with them and cheer them on in all they did. In 2013 he purchased a portion of the farm and took over full operation. In 2017, Paul and his family moved to the dairy farm. After experiencing a barn fire in 2022, Paul made the difficult decision, led by his faith in God, to end the dairy portion of his farming. Though he continued to raise beef cattle as a hobby.

Paul was blessed to be able to continue living his passion in farming by working for the Fenendael family at EL-NA Farms. He took so much pride in working there, valued the friendships he continued to grow, and enjoyed his new adventure to the fullest. With more time on his hands he also took advantage of traveling more, spending more time with those he cherished the most. It was readily seen in how much bigger his smile became and the joy he shared. He will be remembered for his love of the outdoors and all things farming, but more importantly for his kindness, generosity, quiet demeanor, and gentleness.

He was welcomed into heaven by his father-in-law, Charles Buhr, maternal grandparents Clarence and Anita Bungert, paternal grandparents John and Josephine Wallace, aunts Mary Guy and Judith Haack, and special cousin, Shane Clark.

Paul is survived by his wife, Corrina, his children Aidan and Emersyn, parents Paul and Catherine, mother and father-in law Charles and Jenny Hucek, sister Kim Davister (Tim Craanen), brother-in-law Casey Buhr (Kristen Knudtson), grandmother-in-law Violet Hafeman, nephews and nieces: Connor Buhr, Morgan (Kenny) Racine-goddaughter, Bryce (special friend Gracie) Davister, Graham Davister, Bailey Davister, Lucy Knudtson, goddaughter Kayna Finley, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and of course his special friends that have become his chosen family.
