Anton J. "AJ" Ruzicka, age 56, of Wisconsin Rapids, WI, passed away on October 21, 2025.
Per AJs request, no services will be held.
AJ was born on January 15, 1969, to Frank and Susan Ruzicka. He later graduated from Burlington High School.
He was an avid fisherman who could always be counted on to have a good joke ready. He lived life on his own terms, without a care in the world, and brought laughter and warmth to those around him. He deeply loved his friends and family and had a special place in his heart for animals.
AJ is survived by his mother, Susan Wieners; stepfather, Ron Wieners; sister, Jill Wieners, half- siblings, Robert, John, Susan, Ann, Kim, and Frank; nieces and nephews, Emily Henry, Megan Arnesen, and Garrett Wieners along with many other nieces and nephews.
He is further survived by his fur baby, Diesel.
He was preceded in death by his father, Frank G. Ruzicka, brother-in-law, Todd Wieners, and best friend, Jimmy Fonk.
If anybody would like to honor AJ by donating, they may do so by sending a donation to either Scentrail Bark community dog park of Ripple Creek Park in Port Edwards, WI or to the Wisconsin Rapids Humane Society.
Ritchay Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
