Joseph “Joe” Czarnecki

Joseph “Joe” Czarnecki, of Spencer, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 65 on Friday, April 18, 2025, at his home in Spencer, Wisconsin. Born on September 10, 1959, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he was the beloved son of John and Adell (Schwalbach) Czarnecki, who both preceded him in death. Joe’s life was marked by his love for his family and passion for fishing, baking and camping.

Joe grew up in Milwaukee, where he attended local schools and went on to earn an Associate Degree in Supply Chain Management. He moved to Spencer in 2020 to be closer to his son and daughter-in-law.

Joe held various jobs throughout his life, including with American Eagle (Airlines), Oshkosh Truck, Cabela’s, Menard’s, and Marshfield Clinic. Outside of work, his love for cooking and baking was well-known among his family and friends, who often enjoyed the fruits of his culinary experiments. Music was another source of joy for Joe, with the sounds of Pink Floyd, Gary Moore, and Led Zeppelin often heard playing in his home and car. Joe was also teaching himself how to play electric guitar, a hobby he dedicated much time and practice to.

Above all, Joe cherished his role as a grandfather to his granddaughter, Isla. His face would light up with pride and joy whenever he spoke of her, and he embraced every moment they spent together.

Joe’s memory will forever be cherished by his son, Shawn (Amanda) Czarnecki, granddaughter, Isla, siblings, Lois (Harry) Eisenmenger, Mike (Dawn) Czarnecki, Cheryl (Fred) Roth, and Sally Czarnecki (Scott Becker), along with his many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
