Donald L. "Red" Breunig, age 83, passed away on Thursday, May 4, 2017, at his home with his family following a lengthy battle with Lewey Body Dementia. He was born in Roxbury on January 27, 1934, the son of the late Gerhard and Frances (Suchomel) Breunig. Don developed an appreciation for adventure while serving in the Navy. Following his service days, he worked for Breunig & Bolton, Wisconsin Dairies, and Prairie Plumbing and Heating. Never satisfied being idle, Don's love of adventure continued in retirement including softball, bowling, gardening, and travel.

Don is survived by his wife of 61 years, Margaret (Speth), his faithful companion Nikko, his children, Kendall (Diane) of Milwaukee, Tim (Sheryl) and Terry (Laura) of Roxbury, Vicki of Sauk City, and Sumalee (Sompong) Asa of Phoenix, AZ, his grandchildren Jill (Marcus), Lisa, April (Jason), Jeremy, Nicole (Patrick), Dallas, Elise, Ayoub, Sofia, AJ, and Nick and great-grandchildren Lily, Lexie, Ryan, Jaxon, and Alana.
