Parker John Preston

Parker John Preston, 21, passed away unexpectedly on September 27, 2026. Beloved son of Preston and Shelly Preston, Parker was born on October 26, 2004 and obtained his high school diploma from LTC.

He was a loving, caring, genuine young man whose heart belonged to the outdoors. He was strong in his faith and believed with all his heart, even when his path was not immediately clear. Parker maintained close relationships with his family members and loved ones.

Parker was a deeply devoted and protective big brother to his sister, Addison; their bond was rooted in a love that nothing could break. An avid outdoorsman, Parker found his peace in nature, especially through hunting and fishing. True to his adventurous spirit, he was always willing to try eating whatever he caught, proudly cleaning and preparing his catch himself—regardless of whether it was considered a traditional game fish or not. If there was a body of water nearby, it was a safe bet that’s where you’d find him.

Parker is survived by his parents: Preston and Michelle Preston of Two Rivers, his sister: Addison Preston, family friend, Marquarius Lee; his grandparents: Jean and Tom Peters, his aunts and uncles: Tim Wester and Rachel, Gina and Dave Kalista, Nina and Steve Monacelli, and Niki Peters. He also leaves behind his cousin: Madison Wester, Godmother: Crystal Wester, and closest friend: Joey Wanish, along with many other friends and extended family members.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Preston J. Preston Sr., and Barbara and John Wester, great-grandparents: Florence and Joseph Preston, Robert and Joy Moran, and Violet and Jack Wester, and his uncle Keith R. Preston.

A memorial service will be held at 12:00 PM on Saturday, October 10 at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 3607 45th St, Two Rivers, WI 54241, officiated by Pastor David Arndt. Prior to the service, Parker’s family will receive visitors from 10:00 AM until 12:00 PM at the church.

Deja & Martin Funeral Home of Two Rivers is entrusted with the arrangements.

Indea D. Hill

Indea Denise Hill, 69, of Two Rivers passed away unexpectedly at home on the morning of September 15, 2026. Just days earlier, Indea was blessed to be surrounded by her loving family for the occasion of her granddaughter’s wedding – memories which will be cherished forever.

Born October 3, 1956 to parents Sidney and Jacquelyn (Weiner) Klein, Indea grew up in Two Rivers and graduated with the Washington High School class of 1975. The Weiner/Klein family (Mom and Pops), became the owners and operators of Port Sandy Bay from the 1950’s through the late 1980’s where Indea worked throughout her young adult life. Subsequently, she worked at Pick ‘n Save in Two Rivers, where she enjoyed the social aspects and made some lasting friendships.

Indea wanted the best for her family. Sometimes that meant testing out many different pizzas from the grocery store and pizzerias until she found one suitable just because she was so biased that her family recipe was simply the best. She loved sifting through gems, jewelry making and was a loyalist to JTV (Jewelry Television) sometimes even surprising herself with the things that would arrive to her doorstep.

She admired the outdoors - especially bird watching, camping, walking along Point Beach and taking rides around town with her partner Fish on their mopeds. She enjoyed trips to Washington Island as well as Las Vegas. Indea was an avid fan of the Brewers, whether watching on TV or listening on the radio, and would often score the games by hand. She was also a dedicated and caring cat owner to many pets over the years, and the bond with their cat Macho was deep and unbreakable.

Indea is survived by her beloved partner and best friend of over 20 years: Steven “Fish” Rehrauer of Two Rivers; her two daughters: Sarean (Jacob Fuka) Reindl and Venessa (Chris Isherwood) Hill; her five grandchildren: Simone (Fiancé Jeremy Maus) Reindl, Sidney (Ethan) Just, Hunter Reindl, Levi Reindl and Angel Hill; her brother Mitchell A. Klein of Two Rivers; and cousin Craig (Sue) Thomaschefsky. She was preceded in death by her husband: Daniel R. Hill and her parents Sidney and Jacqueline Klein.

A graveside funeral ceremony will be held at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, September 23 at the Sheboygan Hebrew Cemetery, 900 Highland Dr. (County Rd. Y), Kohler, WI, 53044.

David was born in Milwaukee on April 13, 1958, to the late Darrel and Darlene (DeGrave) Anschutz.

On May 5, 1978, David was united in marriage to his high school sweetheart, Kim Feest, at St. Luke’s Catholic Church in Two Rivers. Together, they were blessed with 48 years of marriage and three children. Their life together was filled with love, faith, family, and countless cherished memories.

Dave worked for many years as a tool and die maker, including at Paragon, Kohler, and Ariens, before eventually retiring.

His family was his world, and the love he shared with them will be greatly missed.

Dave was also a man of deep and abiding faith. He loved the Lord and placed his trust in God throughout his life. His faith was an important part of who he was.

Dave loved spending time outdoors. He enjoyed camping, tending to his garden, and riding the trails up north on his motorcycle. He especially looked forward to his annual Labor Day weekend tradition of trail riding. Dave and Kim also enjoyed traveling together and making memories along the way. In July, they were blessed to take a special trip to Alaska.

Dave had a generous heart and loved being involved in the lives of others. He coached soccer for many years, a role he thoroughly enjoyed, and also coached girls tennis for one year. He was especially proud to serve as a tournament co-director for Roncalli’s annual TRCC volleyball tournament. Through coaching and volunteering, Dave had a positive influence on many young people and was always willing to give his time and lend a helping hand whenever he could.
