Obituary of Don Boettcher

Don Boettcher, 61, of Gordon WI died peacefully on November 22, 2019 after complications resulting from heart failure.

Don was born in Rice Lake, WI the youngest son to Fred & Helen Boettcher. He was a skilled drywall finisher, having retired from his profession after 35-years in the trades. His low-key demeanor, deep & quiet mannerism & quick, dry wit were a rare & treasured combination of a man who was a loving & devoted husb & brother, cousin, uncle & genuine friend. If you were a friend to Don, you were gifted with an unpretentious friend for life. He was happiest when in a quiet spot with nature surrounding him, & had a long-lasting friendship & love with life companion & wife Pam. His faithful fur-babies, Lexie & Tasha, were always at his side.

He enjoyed hunting, camping, tinkering with mechanics & the outdoors. Don was an avid fan of auto racing – NASCAR & drag racing in particular - along with being a loyal fan of the Wisconsin Badgers & Green Bay Packers. This kind & thoughtful man will be missed dearly by those who knew & loved him.

He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Pam (DeCaigny) Boettcher, brothers Fred (Judy) Boettcher of Rice Lake, Laurence Boettcher of Rice Lake, Ron (Barb) Boettcher of White Lake SD, Gloria Richter of Rice Lake, Bev (Barry) Vik of Rice Lake, Leroy (Donna) Boettcher of Park Falls & LynAnn (Mark) Warner of Chetek; many nieces, nephews & cousins & numerous close friends. He is also survived by his two special companions – canines Lexie, 14 & Tasha, 4.

Don is preceded in death by his parents, sister Karen (Bill) Strohmeyer & brother-in-law Dale (Gloria) Richter.

A celebration of Don’s life will be held at The Bird Sanctuary Log Clubhouse in Gordon, WI on Saturday, December 7, 2019 from 12 noon to 4:00 pm.
