1958 - 2018

Henry E. Pigeon Jr., age 60, of Green Bay, passed away peacefully, Thursday, April 12, 2018 with his loving wife at his side. He was born January 16, 1958 in Worcester, MA, son of the late Henry E. Pigeon Sr. and Mieko (Takeda) Pigeon.

Henry was a passionate chef and baker. He loved making his grandchildren's birthday cakes and sharing his gifts in the kitchen. He was also an avid fisherman. Henry was a quiet man, but his children and grandchildren knew the pride he had in each one of them.

Henry is survived by his wife, Cindy; 6 children: Henry (Bernie) Pigeon III, Jessica (Daryl) Zeutzius, Lynn (Duane) Strom, Jason (Erin) Pigeon, Jamie (Barry) Pigeon and Justin (Katrina) Pigeon; 11 grandchildren: Keisha Bradford-Leicht, Allan Wolcott, Wesley Pigeon, Andrew Wolcott, Zachary Zeutzuis, Sanji Thyrion, Owen Pigeon, Violet Pigeon, Wyatt Pigeon, McKenzie Pigeon and Kendra Pigeon; 2 great-grandchildren, DJ Coburn and Teranyah Hendricks; his mother, Mieko Pigeon, 2 sister, Margaret (Jeff) Schmechel and Debbie Hyde; mother-in-law, Darleen Schimmel; numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
