It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Anthony Francis Machi Jr., who left us on November 22, 2025. Born on November 23, 1942, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Anthony lived a life enriched by family, service, and cherished hobbies. He graduated from Milwaukee Tech High School and went on to serve his country honorably in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War.

Anthony was a devoted family man, and his spirit will live on in the hearts of his loved ones. He is survived by his son Andrew (Mary Ann) Machi and daughter Jerilyn Ross; his six beloved grandchildren, Lisa Machi, Samatha Machi, Andrew Machi, Devan Freeman, Carilyn Asencio, and Lannie Ross; one great-grandchild, Ace; and his sister, Barbara Brzenk.

In addition to his family, Anthony held a special place in his community as a past member of the Sheboygan Falls Fire Department and a former member of the Sheboygan Falls Jaycee's. He had a passion for the outdoors, finding joy in hunting and fishing, which reflected his love for nature and adventure.

Anthony was preceded in death by his parents, Anthony Sr. and Therese, and his sister, Karen Machi. His legacy of kindness, commitment to service, and love for family will be deeply missed.

Visitation with family will be held on December 6th, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, followed by additional services from 1:00 PM to 1:15 PM at Derrick Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 800 Park Dr, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. A Funeral Service will take place on December 6, 2025, at 1:00 PM, concluding at 2:00 PM, at the same location.

As we remember Anthony, we celebrate a life well-lived, filled with love, service, and appreciation for the simple joys that life offers. His memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him.
