Bryan Turgeon

Bryan Carlton Turgeon, age 64, passed away on October 4, 2025 at Juliette Manor in Berlin, WI. Bryan was born to Valmont and Rose Turgeon on June 18, 1961 in Stuttgart, Germany where Valmont was stationed while in the US Army. After Germany, Bryan’s family eventually landed in Kenosha, WI where he spent most of his growing up years and graduated from Tremper High School. He always enjoyed working in the restaurant business, following in his dad’s footsteps. In 1993, he brought his family to Montello, WI and opened his own restaurant, The Diner. After The Diner he worked various jobs, and most recently enjoyed working as a greeter at Walmart in Portage, WI. On April 2, 1983, Bryan married the love of his life, Deborah Bain. Bryan always said it was “love at first sight” when she came into his dad’s restaurant “Val’s Bill of Fare” for a job interview. They shared 42 years of marriage together until his passing. Besides being a husband, Bryan’s greatest joy was being a father to Chanelle, BJ and Isaac and grandfather to Grace, Anna, Lucy, Evan, Danny, Emmi and Philip. Bryan was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1994. This diagnosis took so much from him, but it never took his joy and his faith. It was very rare to hear Bryan complain about his illness or circumstance. He believed God had a purpose for his life and he sought to live that out to the best of his ability. He was a constant witness to those around him. Survivors include his wife, Deborah; children, Chanelle (Craig) of Neenah, WI, BJ (Yolanda) of Racine, WI and Isaac (Leslie) of Lakeville, MN; his sisters, Carolyn (Arnold) of Cotopaxi, CO, Kristel (Troy) of Valrico, FL; his grandchildren, Grace, Anna, Lucy, Evan, Danny, Emmi and Philip; along with many nieces, nephews and beloved family. Bryan is preceded in death by his parents, Valmont and Rose Turgeon; his brother, Rick; sister, Valerie; and grandson Jace Riley Turgeon. Bryan will be remembered for his humor in any situation and his kind, selfless heart. Even though he was confined to a wheelchair and a bed for many years, he was content. A celebration of life will be held Wednesday, October 15th, 2025 at River Shores Evangelical Church in Berlin, WI. Visitation from 10:00-11:00am with service at 11am. Our family would like to thank the staff at Juliette Manor for caring for him so well the past year and a half. In lieu of flowers, gifts for the family are welcomed to help cover the costs of his celebration.
