PARDEEVILLE - Peter H. Pulvermacher, age 61, of Pardeeville, passed away on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, at the VA Hospital. He was born in Madison, Wis., on February 2, 1964, the son of Kathleen (Schumacher) and Richard Pulvermacher Sr.

Peter grew up in the Waunakee area and graduated from Waunakee High School in 1982. After graduating from high school, he joined the U.S. Air Force and served our country as a precision measurement equipment lab specialist, both in the states and in South Korea, from 1982 to 1992. Part of his service included time (August 1990 - June 1992) in support of Operation Desert Shield/Storm. He received several decorations, medals and ribbons during his time in the service.


After his time in the Air Force, Peter worked at Madison Newspapers in the IT/Production area. This was fitting, as at 14 years of age Peter was a newspaper carrier and delivered 75 daily and 85 Sunday Wisconsin State Journals. Peter enjoyed music, reading, watching movies, gaming and his beautiful property in Pardeeville. He loved animals, especially dogs.


Peter is survived by his mother, Kathleen; sisters, Mary, Lee (David) Fuccillo, Denise (Tim) O’Rourke and Jenny (Dave Rausch) Pulvermacher; brother, Rich Pulvermacher II; nieces and nephews, Katy (Eric), Domenique (Justin), Tony (Hiromi) and Spencer (Danielle); and five grand-nieces and one grand-nephew. He was preceded in death by his father.


Celebration of Life will be held at GUNDERSON WEST FUNERAL AND CREMATION CARE, 7435 University Ave., Middleton, at 12 noon on Saturday, January 31, 2026, with military honors and a luncheon to follow. Visitation will be held at the funeral home from 11 a.m. until the time of the service on Saturday.


In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Heat and Housing Heroes of Wisconsin, The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) now called Blood Cancer United, or a charity of your choice.
 

A special thank you to the doctors, medical professionals and staff at VA Hospital in Madison.

Peter was extraordinary in helping us with IT issues at the Wisconsin State Journal. There was a kindness about him, as if he wanted to help, that we were not an inconvenience. I have lasting memories of Peter as a wonderful fellow employee. I salute you, Peter!

Though we never met Pete, we are grateful to have learned about him through Pete's brother Rich. What a gift to know how much Rich & all the family cared for Pete over the years & especially in these last months. It was a privilege to support Pete in prayer & we are thankful for his life.
