It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Gerald Plach (Appleton, Wisconsin), who passed away on October 14, 2025, at the age of 85, leaving to mourn family and friends. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid Gerald farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Gerald is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Edward Plach and Rosella Plach (Calnin); and his son Scott Plach (Amy). He is survived by: his daughters, Christina Schwebs (Brad) and Pamela Oostenbrug (Tom); and his wife Judy Kimmons. He is also survived by two daughters, a daughter-in-law, six grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and a brother and sister.

In lieu of flowers, if so inclined, please make a donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

“Ken and Nancy so sorry for your brothers passing. I knew Ken was not at Vets and Friends last Wed so I knew something was up. I am not sure if I ever met him but I did grow up near his family as a kid. My condolences to all.”
