October 20, 1961 – August 4, 2020

Carl J. Ninaus (58) departed unexpectedly on August 4 at his home in West Allis.  Family finds comfort knowing that his soul is at peace and lives on eternally.

Carl was born in Milwaukee to Carl and Barbara L. Ninaus on October 20, 1961.   He worked in the retail food industry in various positions, had a 5-year stint at an auto salvage company, was employed doing janitorial work, and later did yard maintenance and handyman jobs. Carl endured many struggles with his mental health throughout his life.  He made the best of what he had, was hopeful, and had dreams. He was a kind and caring person who was known for helping his neighbors when he could. He found joy in his coin collecting hobby.  Carl also enjoyed finding unique collectible items to display in his home.

Carl is preceded in death by his beloved mother, Barbara Loraine (nee Fieldhack).  Survived by his daughter, Nicole Leah; long-time friend, Sherillyn Franske; sisters, Wanda (Jeff) Felber and Deborah Dawn; father, Carl; and niece and nephew, Angela and David Felber; as well as other relatives.

The family hopes to have a private gathering to honor Carl at a later time.
