J. Scott Kestly, 77, passed away peacefully and entered eternal life in heaven on July 8, 2020, surrounded by his loving family.

Scott was born on February 1, 1943, to the late George and Myra (Goldenstedt) Kestly.  He was a graduate of Washington High School in Milwaukee and attended Carroll College and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee earning a bachelor’s degree in Accounting.

Beloved husband of Diana (Kozlowski) of 55 years, Diana survives along with their four children.  Loving father of Shelly (Tom) Stoll, Chrissy Kestly, Jamie (Andrea) Kestly, and Marc (Allie) Kestly.  Proud papa of Connor, Paige, Tommy, Ben, Bandon, Mickey, and Rudy.  Beloved brother of Pat (Hoyle) Green and brother-in-law of Deirdre Kozlowski.  Scott is survived by many other relatives and friends.

Scott was a loving and devoted husband and an incredible father.  He was a successful business owner and heavily involved in the community and church.  His hobbies included golfing, tennis, coaching, attending grandchildren’s sporting events, involvement in the church, volunteering, and spending time with his wife and family.

Random acts of kindness and generosity defined Scott’s life.  Today we ask you to brighten someone else’s day.  Lend someone that needs it a helping hand.  Give a stranger a compliment.  Pay it forward.  This would be a great way to honor Scott.

Scott was such a kind and generous man. A genius in his profession and a very successful businessman. Scott had such a soft and kind demeanor. How lucky I was to have known him. We will miss his gentle smile and sense of humor. A true gentleman. May he enjoy his eternal life in heaven with God and Jesus. Don Stoll

On behalf of my mom, Janet, and brother Greg, we send our deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences to you all. The bond that was shared by my dad with his neighborhood friends continued to adulthood and their families. While time and circumstances separated the friends, the bond was never lost. The support during the trials of life meant so much to my dad and our family before he passed and to that end we send our prayers to you all for the strength and peace needed at this time.

We’re going to miss our Dad very much, but from the outpouring of love and support, and hearing so many memories from friends and family, he not only touched our lives but so many others. Dad, you may not be with us on Earth anymore but you’ll always be in our hearts guiding us through life from above. It’s not goodbye, it’s until we meet again someday. Hope you got that hole-in-one in heaven already!
