Timothy "Mouse" L. Cluppert

Timothy “Mouse” L. Cluppert, age 65, of Ripon, WI passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, August 18, 2024 at home.

Tim was born in Waupun, WI on October 20, 1958, son of Arthur and Muriel (Jennings) Cluppert. He attended school in Markesan, WI, and in 1982 married Debora “Debbie” Hundt at Our Saviour’s United Church of Christ in Ripon. Tim worked for Badger Mining for over 35 years, retiring in 2019. He was a handyman and had a passion for fixing things and spent many hours in the garage, leaving behind fond memories of listening to records with his daughter, Jenny. Tim enjoyed finding, buying, and rebuilding cars. He was always searching Facebook Marketplace for a good deal, and was known to convince his son-in-law, Casey, to take a road trip anywhere to pick it up. He loved the Sci-Fi channel, enjoyed old episodes of the Price is Right, and also could be found watching YouTube if he needed a little assistance with a repair or project he was working on. More than anything, Tim enjoyed trips he took with his wife and time with his family, especially his grandchildren. No matter what he had going on, he was always eager and willing to help others with what they were working on.

Tim is survived by his wife, Debbie Cluppert of Ripon; two daughters, Jenny Cluppert and Tina (Casey) Kuehn; two grandchildren, Quinten and Amelia; a sister, Karen Grams; father-in-law, Joseph Walker; sisters-in-law, Audrey Cluppert, Chris (Greg) Marzahl, Sue (Paul Salzwedel) Winkler, and Mary (Todd) Wills; brothers-in-law, Randy (Dawn) Hundt and Peter (Rose) Hundt; aunts; nieces; nephews; friends; and last but not least his pups, Eugene and Rapunzel. He was preceded in death by his parents, Arthur and Muriel Cluppert; a brother, Larry Cluppert; and mother-in-law, Caryl Ulrich.
