February 1, 1943 - July 8, 2020

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.
