Martin Edward Eils, age 67, of Kenosha, passed away on August 8th, 2024. He was born on November 5th, 1956, in Kenosha to Harold and Mary Ann (Soule) Eils. He attended local schools and was very athletic throughout his life, taking part in the swimming team in High School. He continued his athletic interest by coaching his children’s soccer teams later in life.
Martin was a jack of all trades and worked in various roles in the construction industry. He was a free spirit and loved traveling the United States on his Harley Davidson. He loved fishing, sailing, and being near the water whenever he could. He spent over 25 years living at peace in Stuart, FL. In his free time, he loved cooking, baking, helping other people and spending time with his family and friends.
Martin was a registered organ donor, and his donation saved 2 lives at the time of his passing. His donation will continue to save even more lives.
Martin is survived by his mother Mary Ann Eils, children: Josh (Augustina) Gallman and Jessica (Craig) Steffek, grandchildren: Jacob, Skyller, and Elisabeth, and many other living friends and relatives. He is preceded in death by his father: “Jim” Eils, and siblings: Patricia Flores, and William Eils.
The family would like to thank the staff at Froedtert in Milwaukee, and Versiti – who coordinated the donation of Martin’s body for all their compassion and care during this very difficult time.
