William Bredek Obituary
William Bredek
1948 - 2020
William Bredek, age 72, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, October 31, 2020.
Born in Kenosha on October 6, 1948, he was the son of William and Delores (Bryski) Bredek. He attended local schools and graduated from Tremper High School.
Bill proudly served in the US Army with the 4th Infantry Division-Central Highlands in Vietnam, from 1968 until his honorable discharge in 1970.
On September 3, 1993, he was united in marriage to Marta Kuczenski in Phelps, WI. He nicknamed Marta "Earth Angel" because that was the name of the song from their first dance together. Bill talked about his Earth Angel a lot and anyone who knew him could attest to that.
He was employed with Chrysler for 41 years until his retirement in 2008. He took great pride in driving his Jeep Grand Cherokee; which he always kept clean and shiny.
Bill was not only a member of the Kenosha Area Vietnam Veterans but served tirelessly on the Honor Guard. You could always find Bill proudly fundraising for the KAVV too. Bill was a member of UAW Local 72; who enjoyed going to the annual Labor Fest. He was a member of the Alano Club and served on the board for the New H.O.P.E. Council. He enjoyed going up north-fishing, bonfires and then escaping to the casino. A man of chance and charity, he participated in raffles with his family and scratch off Lotto tickets. Watching Packer games with his sons made him happy along with sitting in the back yard watching all the different birds and spending time with his grandchildren. Never lost for conversation, he loved talking about all the movies and TV programs he watched. And no matter where Bill was or what he was doing; you could find Bill rockin' out to the Rolling Stones.
He is survived by his wife, Marta; his mother, Delores Thiel; children, William (Lindi Sebena) Bredek, Matthew (Jeanna Rubjerg) Bredek and Joseph Bredek; his step daughter, Liana Escott; grandchildren, Kaylie Bredek, McKenna Bredek and Nolan Kueny; his sister Jeanette Bredek and his half-sisters, Kathy Bredek, Jamie and Christy Rhinamaki.
William was preceded in death by his father, William Bredek, Sr. and his step father, Richard Thiel.

Uncle Bill, I was quite young when you joined our family, but still remember having so much fun with you. Fast forward a few years, I have nothing but the utmost respect for you! You were so strong and fought so hard for life! I hope I can channel your strength as I continue my fight! As I sit here receiving one of many infusions, I know I'm not alone. You, no doubt, are continuing to watch over and support me from up above. You always said Aunt Marta was your "Earth Angel". Now it is your turn to be her Angel. I know you will do a wonderful job! We love and miss you more than you know!

I will always remember when an ice cream truck drove by Liana´s wedding reception and Uncle Bill bought me a firecracker popsicle. Though my memory is more limited to how thrilled I was to receive this tasty treat, legend has it I was just one of many kids at the wedding that received popsicles from Uncle Bill that day!
