Vernel “Bucky” Taschner, age 82, of Wisconsin Rapids, passed away Wednesday, November 14, 2018 at Clark County Rehab and Living Center in Owen, WI.

Services will be 11:00 a.m. on Friday, November 23, 2018 at Herman-Taylor Funeral Home in Wisconsin Rapids.  Rev. Kevin Ader will officiate.  A time of visitation for family and friends will be held from 9:30 a.m. until the time of services on Friday at the funeral home.  Burial will be at a later date at Calvary Cemetery in Wisconsin Rapids.

Vernel was born August 8, 1936 in Wisconsin Rapids, to Harvey and Leona (Winters) Taschner.  He married Barbara Truetel.  They were blessed with two sons, Jeffrey and Christopher.  The marriage later ended in divorce.  He was married to his second wife, LaVerne, for 38 years.  She preceded him in death in February 2016.
