Nic Stadtmueller, a native of Oshkosh and resident of Queens, NY, died on January 8, 2020, at Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital in Milwaukee. The cause of death was complications related to the disease of addiction. He was 34 years old.
At his death, Nic was an attorney specializing in real estate and related contract law. He enjoyed traveling and visiting with his family, and he was a true outdoorsman who enjoyed many adventures here in Winnebago County and around the country hunting ducks and fishing.
Nicholas Luther Stadtmueller was born on May 8, 1985, in Oshkosh. He was the eldest child of Gerald J. Stadtmueller and Catherine S. Luther. Nic traced his roots to the Stadtmueller, Luther, Carroll, Kilp, and Luft families, among whom were early settlers of Oshkosh, making him a fifth generation native of Oshkosh. Nic attended Oshkosh public schools and was a graduate of Oshkosh North High School in 2003. He graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Political Science in 2007. He went on to earn his Juris Doctor from St. John’s University, Queens, NY, in 2011. While there, he was the deputy editor of the Real Estate Law Journal.

He is also survived by numerous close cousins and a multitude of friends, all of whom remember him as a good and generous man who loved his friends and family. As a final act of his generosity and goodwill, Nic donated his organs to several recipients.
