Kenneth E. Gritzmacher, age 64, passed away peacefully on August 15, 2026, under the care of Aspirus Comfort Care and Hospice Services. He was born on November 15, 1961, to the late Earl and Lorraine (Buetsch) Gritzmacher.

Kenneth spent many years working on the family dairy farm. Later in life, he enjoyed helping his neighbors with whatever needed to be done, whether it was mowing lawns, plowing snow, or lending a helping hand. He was always willing to help a neighbor and enjoyed the simple connections that came with it.

Kenneth loved nothing more than a good conversation and was known for his love of "BS'ing." He also enjoyed his daily ride to the tavern, and on occasion, he would make the journey on his lawnmower. These everyday routines and his easygoing personality brought him much enjoyment throughout his life.

He is survived by his nieces, Sarha (Greg) Peterson, Monica (Joe Russell) Doering, and Heather (Randy) Griswold; his aunt, Fern; and his brother-in-law, David Guyette Sr.

In addition to his parents, Kenneth was preceded in death by his nephew, David Guyette Jr.; his siblings, Raymond Gritzmacher and Pat Guyette.

Burial will take place at Edgar Cemetery.

Mid Wisconsin Cremation Society is assisting the family with arrangements. Words of remembrance may be left at MWCS.WS.
