Eli John Walker, age 43, of Osceola, Wisconsin, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Tuesday, March 31, 2026.

Eli was born on November 1, 1982 in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin to Brad (Christine Thompson) Walker. Eli met Jennifer Lieffring while she was in high school and after 12 years of dating they were married on January 29, 2016. To this union two daughters were born, April and Annabelle. As the girls grew up, Eli was a stay-at-home dad, taking pride in every moment he spent with them. Once the girls were old enough, he began work as a CNC operator and trimmed trees.

Eli was an avid fisherman, either it being on the ice or in a boat. He also enjoyed playing pool, darts, camping, golfing, writing short stories or doing anything outdoors. Eli especially loved the time spent with his family. He will be dearly missed by many.

Memorials are preferred to Eli’s family.

Eli is survived by his wife, Jennifer; daughters, April (Nate Landowski) Walker and Annabelle (Elijah LaBathe) Walker; mother, Christine Walker; brother, John Walker; sisters, Sarah Ashby and Hannah Erickson; sister-in-law, Susan Lieffring; brothers-in-law, Doug (Amanda) Lieffring and Donny Lieffring; and many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Eli is preceded in death by his father, Brad; and grandparents, Bill and Ann Thompson.

Celebration of life will be held from 3:00-6:00 pm, Friday, April 10, 2026 at the Grandstrand Funeral Home, Osceola, WI.
