Thomas James Masephol

Thomas “Tom, Tommy” James Masephol, age 57, passed away October 30, 2025, at his home in Phillips, WI. He was born September 19, 1968, to James and Karleen Masephol in Marshfield, WI.

Tom, after retiring from a long and dedicated career at Lewis construction, fulfilled his dream of opening his own shop, Tom’s Highbridge Auto. He was a proud member of the Price County Snowmobile Club and Local 139 Operating Engineers. Tom had a deep love for activities with his family including camping, boating, and snowmobiling. When it came to snowmobiling, if you asked Tom, every destination was only 8 miles away. He was happiest tinkering on projects at his cabin or working on anything with a motor, with a particular passion for restoring CJ Jeeps. If you knew Tom, you’d know that he always had the funniest stories to tell, the kind you almost couldn’t believe, but can’t make up – “ I kid you not”.

Tom was preceded in death by his grandparents; Lester (Irene) Wunrow, Albert (Betty) Masephol; aunts and uncles: Jerry (Sherry) Masephol, Dwayne (Linda) Wunrow. He is survived by his children: Samantha (Luke) Kronstedt, James (Ariana) Masephol, Sheena (Kyle) Schultz; grandchildren: Kalynn and Keiarra ”Kiki” Manicke, Shawn, Kamden, Stefen, Kinsley Kronstedt, Noah Thunstrom, Quinlyn Carr, Ema, Sophie, Beckam, Ryker Schultz; parents; James and Karleen Masephol; siblings: Todd (Wendy) Masephol, Tara (Dave) Brinker; nieces and nephews: McKayla (Conner) Ellenbecker, Tyler (Jessica) Masephol, Austin and Angela Brinker; great nieces and nephews: Berklee, Beckham, Braelynn and Baker Ellenbecker, Maverick Masephol; as well as many other family and friends.

A Celebration of Tom’s Life will be held on November 8, 2025 from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm at the Pittsville Lions Park Club House, 5572 4th Ave Pittsville, WI 54466.
