Modesto Montes

Modesto Montes, age 50, passed away on November 17, 2023. He was a beloved father, son, brother, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Modesto was born on November 2, 1973 in Eden, WI where he spent his formative years. He graduated from Campbellsport High School in 1991. He continued his education in mechanics, maintenance, and hydraulics. His first job was working with our father at Montes and Son Small Engine Repair. Mo then worked at Pennzoil, the Est corporation/Pace Industries, and Eden Stone. Throughout his career, he was known for his hard work and dedication.

But more than anything, Modesto was a devoted father. He loved spending time with his daughter, Tori and their cat, Kitty. He enjoyed going out to eat, playing on his phone, and watching their favorite movies. Mo was a wonderful, caring person who was loved by many. He would help anyone in need and could fix anything. Mo had an extensive collection of DVDs, CDs, knives, and lots and lots of tools to name a few. He was big hearted and loved buying gifts for others. At the end of his life, he gave the ultimate gift of tissue donation.

In his free time, Modesto enjoyed music, especially heavy metal. He had the biggest heavy metal collection which he was always eager to share his knowledge and enthusiasm with others. Mo loved playing music trivia but quizzing us in his style.

Modesto is survived by his loving daughter, Victoria Montes, his mother Maria Montes, his sisters Maria (Todd) Rodenkirch, Paula (Miguel) Hernandez, Juana (Florencio Hernandez) Montes , Teresa (Jose) Villarreal, Raquel Jasso, Carmen Montes and numerous nephews and nieces, aunts, uncles and cousins and his long time friend Melissa Knueppel. His memory will be cherished by all who knew him.

He is preceded in death by his father, Jose T. Montes.
