Douglas Jerome Bremser, age 69, of Plymouth, passed away Saturday, February 9, 2019, at Rocky
Knoll Healthcare Center in Plymouth where he was a resident since 2016.
Doug was born December 8, 1949, in Plymouth, Wisconsin, the first child of Jerome and Patricia
Bremser. He grew up in Plymouth, attended St. John the Baptist elementary and middle school and
graduated from Plymouth High School in 1968. After high school he spent two years studying fine arts
at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
Doug was an entrepreneur all his life. When he was young, the family moved to their home one block
from the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds and the racetrack there. Doug then started making and
selling scale replicas of the most popular stock cars. After his college days he started a sub sandwich
shop in Sheboygan called Sun Unlimited. He eventually started his own carpentry business, DB
Construction. As an independent carpenter and owner of DB Construction, he applied his artistic skills
to every home building and remodeling project he worked. Doug was also a member of two carpenters
unions and worked on several large projects throughout the state and in the Milwaukee area, including
Miller Park the home of the Brewers. His name is on the wall just outside the stadium that lists all the
construction workers who helped build it. Doug was most proud of the volunteer work he did for
Habitat for Humanity and the project he worked on with President Jimmy Carter. Doug enjoyed music,
nature, and photography. He was an avid fan of all auto racing and the Bucks, Badgers, and the Packers.
Doug is survived by brothers, Charles (Joey) Bremser of Des Plains, IL, Robert (Sharon) Bremser of
Madison, WI; and his niece Lindsay Schuette (Travis Patrick) and grand-nephew Michael James Niger
of Rochester, NY; as well as several cousins and many friends.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Adolf and Clara Hess; paternal grandparents
Lillian Bubb and Paul Bremser; parents Jerome and Patricia Bremser; sister Cheryl Scheutte; and his
beloved Great Dane, Bismarck.
The family would like to thank the entire staff at Rocky Knoll for their compassionate care, patience
and support during Doug’s stay.
A brief memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2019, at 11:00 am at St. John the Baptist
Cemetery in Plymouth. Following the service an informal gathering will be held at the City Club Tavern
and Grill, 228 E Mill St. in Plymouth, WI at 12:30 pm to celebrate Doug’s life.
