Obituary

Delwin S. Breunig (Del), age 81, of Roxbury, WI, passed away peacefully at home on April 17, 2025.  He was born on August 11, 1943, in Baraboo, WI, to Roman E. and Agnes C. (Weynand) Breunig.  He attended St. Norbert's School through 8th grade and upon graduation from Sauk City High School in 1961, joined the US Army and served honorably.  On July 5, 1965, he married the love of his life, Donna Ripp, and they began building their life together.

Del was very proud of his accomplishments which included working at Wisconsin Brick and Block, being on the board of directors for the Madison Area Builders Association, and was president and salesman for Berry & Roxbury Mutual Ins. Co.  He was heavily involved in his lifelong parish membership of St. Norbert's Catholic Church and was an active member of the Knights of Columbus for 50 years.

Family and friends were always his priority.  He also loved gardening, a good card game, Sunday drives and tossing Tootsie Rolls to the neighborhood kids while driving his Father's tractor, which he lovingly restored.

He is survived by his wife Donna; children: Chris (Kelly), Gerard (Sue), Sandra, Steve (Tracey), Kent, LaVonne Breunig-Smith (Tim) and Denise; grandchildren: Peter Ruffalo, Nathan Ruffalo, Logan, Reis, Fallyn, Kevin (Kendra), Michael (Greta), Matthew, Mikail Koci, Dylan, Tyler, Bryan, Colton Smith, Ella Werley and Lily Werley; great-grandchildren: Rowan, Callan, Declan,  and Peter Ruffalo; siblings: Cathy Breunig (sister-in-law), Milo (Phyllis), Ken (Mary), Roland  (Gayle), Renee Endres (Gordy), Keith (Shari) and many brothers and sisters-in-law.

He is preceded in death by his parents Roman and Agnes; grandson Robert Koci; siblings Lester and Kay Ann Harris; Sister-in-law Cindy Breunig.

The family would like to express our most sincere gratitude to Kevin Klingenmeyer and Katie Sweet of Agrace Hospice.
