Jorge Bayardo Tovar, age 88, of Larsen, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 8, 2025. Born on September 17, 1937, in Villagran, Guanajuato to the late J. Jesus and Eloisa (Flores) Tovar. Jorge lived a life dedicated to family, hard work, and generosity.
Jorge built a remarkable career at Mercury Marine in Fond du Lac, WI, where he worked with unwavering dedication and retired after 43 years of service. His strong work ethic and commitment earned him the respect of colleagues and friends alike.
Jorge’s passions extended beyond his career. His mechanical skills never disappointed, as he enjoyed transforming worn old cars into running treasures. His unmatched ability to repair anything made him the ultimate handyman that could conquer any challenge. Jorge found joy in gardening, often sharing his harvest with others, and his loyalty and devotion to the Milwaukee Brewers meant he rarely missed a game. Above all, he was deeply committed to his family and lived with a spirit of generosity, always placing others before himself.
Jorge married Luz Maria Alba on September 22, 1962, and together they built a loving family. He is survived by the following children and grandchildren:
  • Maria (Steve) Paglianti, of Brookfield, and children Mariana and Selena

  • Fernando Tovar, of Fond du Lac, and child Kaylie

  • Evelina Tovar-Karoses, of Campbellsport, and child Andrina (Austin Baye) Shirley

  • Mariluz (Alan) Kuenzi, of Larsen, and children Vanessa, Rachel, and Sabrina

  • Children of late son Jesus B. Tovar, Lucinda Varga, Mathew (Maria), Angelina, and Antonio
He is also survived by great-grandchildren; Samantha and Olivia Varga, Bryce and Alexa Shirley, Zeni Calhoun, and Sienna Tovar, Siblings; Lorenzo (Dolores Mendoza) Tovar, Jesus (Rosa Gasca) Tovar, Eloisa Castaneda, Fernando (Vicky Granados) Tovar, Flor Esther Tovar, In-laws; Maria de Jesus Razo-Tovar, Mario (Sophie) Alba, Andres (Martha) Alba, Jesus (Sandra) Alba, Jose Alba, Jessie Alba; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
Jorge was preceded in death by his parents, loving wife Luz Maria (Alba) Tovar, son Jesus B. Tovar, Siblings; Teresa (Bernardo) Ortega, Evelina (Carlos) Leyra, Jaime (Delia SanElias) Tovar, Eduardo Tovar, Rosalia (Leopoldo) Cisneros, In-laws; father and mother-in-law Ildefonso and Rebeca (Rivas) Alba, Arturo Castaneda, Ildefonso Alba.
The family extends its deepest gratitude to the Town of Clayton first responders, and the dedicated nurses and physicians at ThedaCare Regional Medical Center of Neenah for their exceptional care and kindness during Jorge’s final days.

El recuerdo y el cariño para un Ser Humano grandioso, una persona que, aunque a la distancia, estuvo cerca siempre: el SEÑOR Jorge Bayardo, mi tío querido con el que me unieron largas conversaciones por teléfono en las que descubrí su vida, a través de sus interesantes y emocionantes anécdotas. Ahí descubrí su ser simpático, amoroso y valiente, el amor por su familia, por sus raíces y el cariño inmenso que lo unió con mi madre. En verdad lamento mucho su ausencia, pero en mi corazón y mente permanecerá el recuerdo y el cariño por quien fue y será una persona importante en mi vida. Abrazo solidario y cariñoso para María, Fernando, Evelina, Mariluz y sus adorados nietos y nietas.

Bayardo, beloved brother, I was shocked and saddened about your sudden passing. Your Obituary, truly reflects the person you were; friendly with a strong character, and a man dedicated to your lovely family. I am going to missed the long telephone conversations we had. I was amazed about your ability to remember things from your childhood as well as the the names of so many people. I, will forever remember the times we worked together side by side at Mercury Marine. Te quiero mucho, hermano. Our prayers are with your querida familia
