Victor G. Heuermann

Victor G. Heuermann, 81, suffered a heart attack at his residence while gardening with his wife and family in Peoria, Illinois. He later passed at Proctor Hospital surrounded by his family on the 28th of October at 12:50PM.

Victor, son of Clarence Heuermann and Anita Alexander Heuermann, was born in 1941 in Peoria, Illinois. Shortly after he was born, his father was deployed in the Navy to Palo Alto, California for a few years. After Clarence's time in the service, the family returned to Illinois. Victor attended Monroe Elementary School and Limestone High School. In 1959 at the age of 17, he met the love of his life, Theresa "Tracy" Leuallen. They were married in 1961 in Peoria, Illinois at Sacred Heart Church. He received his apprenticeship and later attended Midstate College for real estate. He worked for Peoria Kitchen Top and then P&W as a carpenter. By the early age of 21, he and Tracy began building duplexes. In 1969, Victor and Tracy founded Custom Builders, Inc. and developed the first of many subdivisions. Tracy gave birth to two sons, Matthew and Mark and a daughter Elizabeth. Custom Builders, Inc., with Victor as President, built over 2,500 homes, several apartment complexes as well as commercial real estate projects. Matthew, Mark and Elizabeth all worked in the family business, as well as Fred Leuallen, Tracy's brother, and many other family members.

Victor was a devoted husband, loving father, grandfather, son, brother and friend. He had an incredible work ethic but also knew the importance of family. He was the cornerstone to both the Heuermann and Leuallen families. After 61 years of marriage, he is survived by his wife Tracy, sons Matthew and Mark (both residing in Peoria) and daughter Elizabeth (currently living in Marco Island) as well as Matthew's wife Carrie, grandchildren Victoria, Carol, and Will. He is also survived by his brother-in-law Fred Leuallen, brothers Alex Heuermann (wife Brenda) and Alan Heuermann (wife Posie), sisters Karen Moreland Long (Husband Keith) and Susie Heuermann Good (husband Randy) as well as many relatives on both the Heuermann and Leuallen sides.

The visitation will be held on Thursday, November 3, 2022 between 5:00-7:00PM at the Davidson-Fulton-Woolsey-Wilton Funeral Home at 2408 W. Willow Knolls Dr. in Peoria. A Celebration of Victor’s Life will be at a later date.
