WAUSAUKEE, WI (WTAQ) – Thomas Christ will be buried today.
He’s the Marinette County man who was reportedly killed by Steven Snyder during a crime spree a week ago.
A visitation and funeral for the 59-year-old Christ will take place at the Presbyterian church in Wausaukee.
Authorities said Snyder robbed a bank in that community last Tuesday afternoon, stole an employee’s truck, and left it near Wausaukee where Christ’s body was found close by.
Investigators believe that Snyder killed Christ to car-jack the victim’s auto — which he drove to Fond du Lac where state trooper Trevor Casper found it. Snyder and the officer ended up in a shootout in which they both died.
Casper, who was the state’s youngest trooper at 21, was buried Monday in his hometown of Kiel.
An online obituary said Christ leaves behind a wife of 35 years, two sons, and a pair of grandchildren.
