Obituary For William Leonard Buelow

William “Will” L. Buelow, 39, of Green Bay, Wisconsin passed away on Friday, September 19, 2025, in De Pere, Wisconsin.

Will was born on March 6, 1986, to Leonard Freiburger and Geraldine Molzner (Buelow) on March 6, 1986, in Watertown, Wisconsin.

He was a spouse, father, son, brother, and best friend. He had an insurmountable love for his family. He was passionate about motorcycles, music, going fast, and anything he could tear apart and “make better”. He loved drawing, designing and creating from an early age. He had an impressive career as an engineer and worked his way up from the bottom with hard work and true grit. He had found his dream job at Lindquist Machine Corporation and had furthered his endeavors with his own company Buelow Standards. He never gave up and never backed down no matter the challenge. He was constantly striving to be better in all aspects of his life. His laugh and memory will be carried on by all who knew him and loved him. He was a once in a lifetime person that rubbed off on everyone who knew him and was a joy to be around. His light will never dim.

Will is survived by his beautiful fiancé, Samantha Johnson; his amazing bonus daughter, Ella; his father, Leonard Freiburger; his stepmother, Jacqui; his stepfather, Dean; his brother, Jake Buelow; his nieces and nephews; and many of those close to his heart.

Will was preceded in death by his mother, Geraldine Molzner; his maternal grandparents, and his paternal grandparents.

A visitation will be Saturday, November 8, 2025 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at Smith Funeral Chapel.

    You were a good man for as long as I knew you, always welcoming and supportive of what was morally right. You literally saved my life but I never told you that and all you did was be yourself that night like so many other nights in a time when I had nothing and no one to lean on. May you rest easy and be at peace. Hold up a minute one more thing, Happen to remember that thanksgiving day invite you wrote and mailed to me, yeah somehow I still have it and it's still just as hilarious as it was in 2016, I've had to explain what the hell that letter was about more times than I can remember when someone finds it and reads it. You always were a creative & funny guy, rest easy Reverend Willard, I'll be seeing ya when I see ya my friend.
