Ronald J. Firkus, 64

Ronald J. Firkus, 64, of Rosholt, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 1, 2019, at his home with his wife, Cindy Kostuch of 40 years, by his side.

He was born to the late Casmir and Helen (Harzowski) Firkus on July 14, 1955, in Stevens Point. He married Cindy on September 29, 1979, at St. Albert’s Catholic Church in Rosholt. Together they celebrated 45 years.

Ron enjoyed going to view the old cars at the Iola Old Car Show and walking through the swap meet with Cindy every year. He was even at the very first car show that was held at the Iola Park.

He also enjoyed woodworking, gardening, landscaping, fishing, hunting watching the Green Bay Packers, going up north to his brother-in-law’s cabin, but most of all he loved being with his wife, two sons who were his world, and his one granddaughter, Evelyn Grace, who was the “apple of his eye.”

He is survived by his wife, Cindy; two sons, Cole (Krystle) and Dean (Megan) Firkus; one granddaughter, Evelyn Grace; siblings, Grace (Arnold) Filtz, Richard (Mary) Firkus, Irvin Firkus, Dennis Firkus, and Fred (Louise) Firkus; in-laws, Robert (Melanie) Kostuch, Faith (Melvin) Boge, Duane (Alicia) Kostuch, Christine Kostuch; and many nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Casmir and Helen Firkus; father and mother-in-law, George and Natalie (Landowski) Kostuch; and brother-in-law, Dennis; along with his favorite four-legged friend, Abby.

The family would like to send out a special thank you to Cindy Yonker (who was Ron’s angel), Aspirus Hospice, family and neighbors for all the wonderful help and support they showed during this time.

Ron was a wonderful husband, an amazing father and a loving grandpa. He will truly be missed by so many.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, December 8, 2019, at the American Legion Hall in Rosholt, 290 Grand Ave. East, Rosholt. Friends may visit from noon to 4 p.m.
