Brandon Lee Rasmussen

Brandon Lee Rasmussen, age 43, was unexpectedly called to his eternal home on November 17th 2025, due to an unknown heart condition. He is the beloved father of Holdan Cruz and Sawyer Reid Rasmussen.

Brandon was known for his infectious smile and laugh to all who had the privilege of knowing him. His journey on this earth was one marked by love, loyalty and dedication to his family. His passing has left a void in the hearts of all whose lives were touched by him. Those we love don’t go away… he walks beside us everyday. Brandons life was a blessing to us all, his memory a treasure.

Brandon is survived by his loving parents, Vilas & Kay Rasmussen and Christine & Tim Pruetz as well as grandmother Beth Rasmussen. His brothers, Adam & Carla(Jameson, Lillian, RaeLynn and Lawson) Rasmussen, and Logan & Nicole Rasmussen along with Jerimah Pruetz & Breanna Pruetz. He will forever be treasured by the mother of his boys, Gina; and his best friend & girlfriend Mikelle.

Brandon is preceded in death by his grandparents Don & Rose Loppnow and his grandfather Ronald Rasmussen. He has been reunited with uncles, cousins and family friends along with pets Drake and Scout.

Oconomowoc was where Brandon was born, raised and resided. He took great pride in being a competitive athlete and outdoorsman. He wove talent and fun into every passion he had; football, baseball, track, volleyball, golf, snow skiing, clay shooting, archery, deer hunting, just to name a few… He then supported and cheered on his two boys as they also carried on his love for sports and nature. His greatest joy came from being a father and creating memories and experiences for his boys through youth sports, hunting, traveling and spending quality time at home.

His dedication to providing for his family led him through a few professions throughout his life. Brandon was always eager to take on new opportunities and challenges, and did everything with honesty and integrity. He had very strong values and was well liked by everyone with his positive and upbeat energy. He made many connections that became long lasting friendships and had co-workers that treated him more like family. Brandon brought smiles and laughter to those he worked with and loved feeling like part of the team.

Although Brandons physical presence may no longer grace our lives, his spirit will continue to warm our hearts. May our memories be celebrated and may we carry forth his legacy of love, loyalty and dedication to family, in all we do.

The Celebration of Life Service to honor Brandon will be held on Saturday, November 29th with visitation from 10am-2pm, a brief service at 12pm and light food to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family is also accepting donations to go towards the support of Holdan and Sawyers future. Donations will be accepted at the Service and Venmo. Thank you to everyone for your love, support and prayers for the family.
