James E. Kilsdonk passed away peacefully in his home in Proctor, MN, on October 23rd, 2025. He was proceeded in death by his beloved wife, Brenda, who passed away in June 2025.

Jim loved nature and spent many years with Brenda and family creating cherished memories, especially their sacred land in Wisconsin along the riverbed. He loved hunting, fishing, walking the land, sharing laughter and stories, and above all, the time he spent with Brenda.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents, John and Maxine Kilsdonk, Brother Richard Kilsdonk. He is survived by his siblings; Robert Kilsdonk, Kathy Janzig, Dave and Darci Kilsdonk, all reside in Duluth MN, Patt Donaldson, Antigo WI, Janet and Ed Price, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Mark and Tammy Kilsdonk, Superior WI, Carol and Gino Levine, Minneapolis MN, along with many nieces and nephews.

As they wished, there will be no funeral or service, only the simple remembrance of Jim and Brenda, together again, by the warmth of a campfire.

A picture speaks a thousand words so we are including one of Jim and Brenda together where they loved to be.
