John Blasczyk

John Blasczyk, a beloved husband, father and grandfather, of Montello, Wis., formerly of Fredonia and Newburg, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2024, at his residence. He was 74 years old.

John was born in Milwaukee on Aug. 20, 1949, the son of Henry and Joan (nee Kuszewski) Blasczyk.

John served his country as a proud member of the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam War.

After he was honorably discharged, he married Rose Heinen on Nov. 15, 1969, at St. Anne’s Catholic Church in Milwaukee.

John was the owner of Dealer Product Services, IMS and Future Automotive for many years until his retirement in 2022.  After retirement, John was a Lyft driver until just prior to his death. He truly enjoyed the customers he served throughout his career.

  John was a member of the Fredonia American Legion and a lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He was an active member of Portview Church. He dedicated his time as a chaplain of jail ministry and embarked on mission trips to Panama and Mexico. John loved to pray with people and share his faith in Jesus.  He had a generous heart and gave of himself unselfishly.

John’s favorite holiday was Christmas.  He loved to spoil his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

  He had a passion for fishing, golfing, hunting and especially scuba diving. His diving adventures took him to many places around the world to explore the depths.  One of his favorite dives was the Blue Hole in Belize.

John is survived by his wife Rose and five children, Jennifer (Dustin Emery) Charles-Emery, Margaret (Shawn) Techtman, Michael (Ann) Blasczyk, Brian (Kristin) Blasczyk and Theo (Sarah) Blasczyk.

He is further survived by 19 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, his brother Joseph Blasczyk, nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his grandson Nathan Blasczyk, his brother Dennis and his son-in-law James Charles.

A celebration of John’s life will take place at Portview Church, 3457 County Rd. LL, Port Washington, on Saturday, Aug. 31, at noon. A time of gathering will precede the service from 10 a.m. until noon.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to Portview Church Kingdom Builders.
