Bryan was born July 17, 1958 to Lawrence and Ann Roethle. He had a lifelong passion for the open road and spent many summer days putting miles on his bike, often using his travels to visit family and friends. In his younger years, he was also an avid snowmobiler.

Known for his pleasant personality and love of telling jokes, Bryan was a dependable friend and brother who was always there to lend a hand.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Arthur "Art" Dietrich Obituary Jul 24, 2026 - Deja & Martin Funeral Chapels 07/24/2026

Arthur "Art" Dietrich

Arthur “Art” Dietrich, resident of Harborview Assisted Living, Manitowoc, passed away on Friday, July 24, 2026 at the Aurora Medical Center in Two Rivers.

Art was born in Manitowoc on July 31, 1935, to Arthur and Clara (Bogenschutz) Dietrich. He attended grade school at St. Mary’s Catholic School in Clarks Mills and St. Patrick’s Catholic School, Maple Grove, and graduated from Reedsville High School with the class of 1953. Art served his country for 6 years – 2 years active duty, 2 years Reserves, and 2 years Standby Reserves as a member of the U.S. Army. On October 8th, 1958, he married the love of his life, Elizabeth “Betty” Ebert at St. Michael’s Catholic Church, Whitelaw. Betty preceded him in death in April of 2025. He was a lifetime member of St. Michael’s Catholic Church and the Holy Name Society. Art and Betty were blessed with 6 children.

Art started work as a factory worker with Hamilton Industries, and over his 43 years of employment he moved up to supervisor for the majority of those years until his retirement.

Art coached his sons in the summer baseball league for a few years. He enjoyed his yearly deer camp as a part of the “Old Guys Camp” from his early years with his dad, a few brothers, and good friends. He passed his love of hunting onto his sons, who are now members of the “Young Guys Camp.” Hunting was not his only passion, as he enjoyed fishing as well. Whether it was on Long Lake, Bullhead Lake – it didn’t matter – he was just happy to get his boat in the water. The boat was not always needed – there were many trips down a field to the river to catch “suckers,” which were brought home, cleaned, and canned by Mom. Needless to say, the family never went hungry.

His love for the outdoors showed as he was also a lifetime member of the Whitelaw Sportsman’s Club and the Manitowoc County Fish and Game. After holding many different positions in each, he was inducted into the Manitowoc County Conservationist Hall of Fame in 1996.

Art and Betty were also avid campers for many years, starting with a pop-up and graduating to a travel trailer. They truly enjoyed going to the Hodag in Rhinelander and passed that enjoyment on to their children and grandchildren.

Art also enjoyed the monthly “Card Club” with friends – where the men played sheepshead and the women played Royal Rummy.

Art loved his family and looked forward to any visitors that stopped in to say “hi!”

Survivors include his five children and their spouses: Jeff (Janel) Dietrich, Donald (Barb) Dietrich, Gary (Beth) Dietrich, Lisa (Dan) Lensmire, and Kim (Todd) Schneider; seven grandchildren: Alyssa (Jim) Clarke, Emily (Nick) Jubert, Jacob Dietrich (fiancée Joyce), Joshua (Amy) Dietrich, Matthew (Melissa) Lensmire, Michael Lensmire, and Maria (Jacob) Wittmann; nine great-grandchildren: Easton and Addison Clarke; Rorie Jubert, Trenton and Carson Dietrich; Cole, Hayes, and Bodie Lensmire; and Luca Wittmann. He is further survived by sisters-in-law: Judy and Claire Dietrich, as well as sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law: Barb and Paul Wallander, Joe Welch, Betty and Tom Ebert, Dan and Barb Ebert, and Ruth Noack.

In addition to his wife and his parents, he was preceded in death by his mother-in-law and father-in-law, John and Margaret Ebert; Baby Son, and great-grandson Landyn Lensmire; six brothers and three sisters-in-law: Robert Dietrich, Charlie (Florence) Dietrich, Larry (Joan) Dietrich, Jerry (Delores) Dietrich, Leo Dietrich, and John Dietrich; four sisters and two brothers-in-law: Baby Lois Ann Dietrich, Sister Lois Ann, Dorothy (Alfred) Hoffman, and JoAnn (Scotty) Eiles; and Betty’s family – four brothers-in-law and three sisters-in-law: Jack Ebert, Eddie Ebert, Jim (Audrey) Ebert, Russell (Evelyn) Ebert, and Margaret Welch.

Funeral services will be held at 12 o’clock noon, Tuesday, July 28, 2026 at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Whitelaw. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by his nephew, Rev. Bill Hoffman, assisted by Deacon Randy Jaeckels. Burial will take place in St. Patrick’s Cemetery, Maple Grove at a later date. Military graveside honors will be accorded at the church immediately following the mass.

The family will greet relatives and friends at St. Michael’s Catholic Church Tuesday morning from 9:30 until 11:45 a.m. There will be no Monday evening visitation.

Art’s family would like to extend a huge thank you to Harborview Assisted Living and the Aurora Medical Center nurses and doctors, as well as Aurora Inpatient Hospice for the great care they showed not only to Art, but to his family. Your compassion made dad’s last few years and days what he asked for, “comfort”. We know he is with mom, the love of his life or as he would say - “my beautiful bride”.

Richard "Dick" J. Klinkner Obituary Jul 4, 2026 - Deja & Martin Funeral Chapels 07/07/2026

Richard "Dick" J. Klinkner

Richard "Dick" J. Klinkner, 75, passed away on July 4, 2026.

Dick was born on April 13, 1951, to Jerry and Delories (Zahorik) Klinkner. On June 24, 1972, he married the love of his life, Nancy L. Wilsmann. Together they shared 54 years of marriage, building a life centered on family, community, hard work, and countless cherished memories.

Dick attended St. Andrew's School in Manitowoc and later St. Mark's School in Two Rivers. He graduated from Roncalli High School in 1969 as a member of the school's inaugural graduating class. During his school years, he enjoyed athletics, participating in both football and track.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Dick partnered with his father in owning and operating Galecki's Clothing Store. Following his time in retail, he embarked on a successful career in the insurance industry, where he built many lasting relationships through his dedication and service. During the 1980s, he also operated the RonLee and BrendaLee charter boats out of Two Rivers, combining his entrepreneurial spirit with his love of the outdoors.

Dick was deeply committed to the City of Two Rivers and proudly served on the Business and Industrial Development Committee (BIDC) and the Plan Commission. He believed in giving back to his community and took great pride in helping make Two Rivers a better place to live and work.

One of Dick's greatest passions was the Two Rivers Little League program. He could enthusiastically discuss the number of teams, the support of local sponsors, and the opportunities available to young athletes. He worked tirelessly to ensure every child had the equipment needed to play, making certain each player had a complete uniform, a glove, and cleats. He took tremendous pride in seeing local children succeed and helping create memories that would last a lifetime.

For more than 30 years, Dick and Nancy enjoyed their cottage in Townsend, Wisconsin. Their "up north" retreat became a special place for relaxation, family gatherings, and making memories. Dick loved spending time there and sharing it with those he loved.

A devoted Wisconsin sports fan, Dick could often be found cheering on the Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers, and Milwaukee Brewers. He was also an avid collector of coins and sports memorabilia, always appreciating the history and stories behind the items he accumulated over the years.

Above all, Dick's greatest joy was his family. He was his children's and grandchildren's biggest fan, rarely missing an opportunity to watch them participate in cross country, track, football, baseball, wrestling, basketball, and technical education activities. Whether attending events in person or watching from home, he followed their accomplishments with genuine pride. After every competition, he loved reliving the highlights, discussing key moments, and offering advice and encouragement.

During their younger years, his grandchildren fondly knew him as the operator of "Grandpa Dick's Daycare," where he happily spent countless hours caring for each of them. He especially enjoyed talking football with his grandsons, particularly college football with Justin. Even when he couldn't attend games, he was faithfully watching from home, often rewatching Whitewater football games long after the season had ended because he simply enjoyed talking about football.

Dick treasured every visit from his grandchildren. Whether they were catching up over conversation or helping with yard work, snow removal, or power washing, he valued the time spent together. His door was always open, and his family always knew they could count on him. His kindness, generosity, wisdom, and sense of humor will be deeply missed, the legacy he leaves behind will continue through the many lives he touched. For those of you who knew him best would know the significance of the first of May.

Dick is survived by his loving wife, Nancy; his son, Tim & Sam Klinkner, and grandchildren Maggie (Jacob), Justin, and Derek; his daughter, Kari & Kory Klein, and grandchildren Tyler and Adam; his sisters, Debbie & Tony Kissel and Jean & John Jackson; his brothers- and sisters-in-law, Sharon Klinkner and Charlie and Ann Wilsmann; and many beloved nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Jerry and Delories Klinkner; his father- and mother-in-law, Roger and Loretta Wilsmann; his brother, Jim Klinkner; and his brother-in-law, Jim Wilsmann.

Dick’s family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to all of the doctors and nurses who took care of him during his stay, at Aurora Baycare.

Visitation for Dick will be held on Monday, July 13, 2026, at Deja & Martin Funeral Chapels in Two Rivers from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. A short service will follow, with burial immediately afterward at the cemetery.

David Dale Zunker Obituary Jun 28, 2026 - Deja & Martin Funeral Chapels 07/06/2026

David Dale Zunker

David Dale Zunker, 66, of Two Rivers passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, June 28, 2026. He was born on December 28, 1959 to parents Wayne E. and Patricia A. (Naeser) Zunker. David attended St. John’s Lutheran Elementary School, L.B. Clarke Middle School, and Two Rivers High School.

As a young man, David saw and experienced much of the United States. He spent several childhood years living in Tampa, Florida, and later went to join his brother Brian living in Colorado for a stint. He also worked as a long-haul truck driver which took him to every state in the contiguous U.S. – except for Oregon. Two Rivers always remained home, however, and he always found his way back.

In his earlier years David married his first wife and had two children, Joshua and Stacy. It was while working for Imperial Eastman when David met and fell in love with Wendy Sue Luchsinger. The pair were married at the Manitowoc County Courthouse on September 16th, 1996. Together they raised their daughter Aneesha and were blessed with 29 years of marriage.

David will be remembered for his sharp wit and his ability to make anything into a joke. Though he was naturally social, he did not need to be the center of attention or control the room. Aneesha recalls him as a fiercely protective father as well. David enjoyed sports – watching the Packers, mastering golf (virtually, not on the course), and was a dual-threat lefty pitcher and power hitter as a youngster. He was a lifelong fan of Pink Floyd, and was a dedicated Trekkie who enjoyed the classic Star Trek show and movies, and continued collecting memorabilia throughout his life. He enjoyed watching various shows on the History Channel; he loved learning about history, albeit not in a school setting.

David is survived by his beloved wife: Wendy Zunker of Two Rivers; his children: Aneesha Zunker of De Pere, WI, Joshua (Andrea) Fox of Downingtown, PA, and Stacy (Philip) Fox of Reading, PA; his five grandchildren: Ethan, Anya, Natalya, Brycen, and Kaida of Pennsylvania; his siblings Steven Zunker of Marietta, GA, Brian (Debra) Zunker of Appleton, WI, and Vickie (Christopher) Donner of Neenah, WI.

David was preceded in death by both of his parents, Wayne and Patricia Zunker, his paternal grandparents Victor and Margaret Zunker, and his maternal grandparents William and Hilda Naeser.

Service detailed to be announced at a future time.

Arrangements entrusted to Deja & Martin Funeral Home of Two Rivers, WI.

Keith James Kaufmann Obituary Jun 28, 2026 - Deja & Martin Funeral Chapels 06/29/2026

Keith James Kaufmann

Keith James Kaufmann had every reason to live—his wife Ann (“his angel”), his four beautiful and competent daughters, his clone sons-in-law, his lively grandchildren, his many relatives, high school friends, neighbors, former colleagues, members of the religious community at St. Peter the Fisherman, . . the list is long. But as Stuart Alsop said, “A dying man has to die as a sleepy man needs to sleep.” On June 28, 2026, Keith had to take his final rest.

He was born in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, on April 14, 1962, the second child of Karl and Mary Ann (Mahlik) Kaufmann. He attended St. Mark's Elementary School and Washington High School, graduating with the class of 1980. He then earned a major degree in Management Information Systems and a minor in Accounting at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. On August 11, 1984, he married his high school sweetheart Ann Fronk at St. Luke's Catholic Church in Two Rivers. Initially, Keith worked for JCPenney in Milwaukee, and then for HC Prange Co., Shopko and Omni Resources in Green Bay, but in 1992 he and his brother-in-law Pat Deprey started their own successful business—Skyline Technologies, Inc. After retirement, he was a valet at St. Vincent’s Hospital, where all his wonderful and shining qualities were put to good use.

Keith is survived by his wife of 42 years, Ann; his daughters and sons-in-law Bethany and Nick Baudhuin of West De Pere, Marie Kaufmann and Daniel Moone of Colorado Springs, Emily Kaufmann of Green Bay, and Shannon and Matt (Chewy) Caelwaerts of Hobart; his grandchildren Noah, Grant and Eden Baudhuin; his brothers and their spouses Tim and Brenda Kaufmann and Bruce and Jill Kaufmann; one brother-in-law, Rick Schuh; his brothers and sisters-in-law Kip and Liz Behrendt, Mary Penglase, Barb and Doug Reamer, Julie and Pat Deprey; his godchildren: Abby Schuh, Katie Gallo, Charlie Reamer and Nathan Mahlik; nieces, nephews, and a host of other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Carolyn Schuh, his parents-in-law Betty and Bernard Fronk, his brothers-in-law Jeremiah Fronk and John Penglase.

Keith was a model of how to live. He worked hard and played hard. When he wasn't building a business, he was building a sauna; when he wasn't raising a family or encouraging his grandchildren to be mischievous, he was planting a garden; when he wasn't hunting, he was making chicken booyah or corned beef with cabbage. When he wasn't boating or jet skiing, he was dreaming of owning a hang glider. Even in the ICU where he was surrounded by family and friends, his sense of humor kept the mood light. What a guy!

Keith was a God-loving man who went to mass, honored his parents, was kind, faithful, honest, and generous. Even though he was as handsome as any man in a GQ magazine, he was humble. Keith had a gift for accepting life and that included tragedy. The early deaths of his father Karl and his sister Carolyn, not to mention his own diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, could have led to a fall from grace, but instead Keith rose to grace. When his mother Mary Ann died in late December 2023, he maintained that God wanted HER for Christmas.

Keith will never really die as long as stories of him are told. See, there he is! He's biking to the next life, waving. He knows we will all follow him, each of us in our turn.
