31974a.jpg
Allen M. Wand, age 7, Jeffery J. Wand, age 5, and Joseph B. "Jo Jo" Wand, age 3, sons of Armin and Sharon (Peterson) Wand, III of Argyle passed away on Friday, September 7, 2012, as the result of injuries sustained in a house fire. Allen was born April 8, 2005, Jeffery was born December 20, 2006, and Jo Jo was born June 23, 2009.

The boys were best buddies, yet unique unto themselves in that; Allen was the consummate big brother with a great sense of humor. He loved wrestling and won a number of medals over the last year. He also enjoyed playing t-ball, riding his bike, climbing trees, and watching cartoons with his brothers.

Jeffery was the quiet one of the three boys. He adored his big brother. He enjoyed playing t-ball and loved playing with his cars and trucks while sitting W-style on the floor.

Jo Jo was the little jokester of the bunch and always looked forward to spending time with his grandparents and eating their cookies. Jo Jo was also looking forward to starting school with his big brothers this fall.

The boys will be remembered for being so close and playing together every chance they had.

Allen, Jeffery, and Jo Jo are survived by their parents; one sister: Jessica Wand; maternal grandparents: Jeff and Sharmaine Peterson of Necedah, WI; paternal grandparents: Armin and Barbara Wand, Jr. of Argyle; maternal great-grandfather: Phillip Murphy of Camp Douglas, WI; a paternal great-grandmother: Margaret Baker of Freeport, IL; paternal great-grandparents: Armin and Wilma Wand, Sr. of Pleasant View Nursing Home in Monroe, and Argyle respectively; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. They are preceded in death by their maternal great-grandmother: Sharon Murphy; maternal step-great-grandmother: Lonnie Murphy; and paternal great-grandfather: Otto Baker.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. The Erickson Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Argyle is serving the family. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.ericksonfuneralhome.com.
