Dean Kilsdonk, of Elcho, passed away on Tuesday, February 22, 2022 at the age of 83. Dean was born on December 6, 1938, in Little Chute, WI to Henry and Esther (Stuyvenberg) Kilsdonk.

He attended Elcho High School, where he excelled at basketball and baseball. He later moved to Milwaukee and became a carpenter, a trade he would proudly continue for over 40 years. He built and remodeled many homes in southeastern Wisconsin before moving back to Elcho in 1999.

Dean enjoyed many hobbies throughout his life. He was a passionate sports fan, rarely missing a Brewers or Packers game on TV or the radio. An avid bowler, he played in many leagues and tournaments, taking home his share of trophies. For relaxation, he enjoyed a peaceful day of fishing.

Dean was the proud father of Cory (Shannon), Jeffrey (Kristen), and Leigh and the grandfather of River, Mart, and Erin Leigh.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his siblings Jack, Rita, Dee, Shirley, Corinne, and Dan. He is survived by his loving sisters Pat, Marese, and Roni, as well as many nieces and nephews.

He will be missed by many.

A celebration of Dean's life will be held at a later date.

Bradley Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
