Bryan Domin Obituary

Bryan E. Domin, age 84, of Franklin, Wisconsin, passed away on December 11, 2024. Born on March 4, 1940, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Elmer and Helen (Falkenstein) Domin, Bryan was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend.

Bryan is survived by his beloved wife, Kathleen; his children, Marcia (John) Wayer and Jeremy (Patti) Domin; his grandchildren, JJ and Caroline Wayer, Brittany (Ryan) Porritt, and Lindsay (Peter) Wreford-Brown and other family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Elmer and Helen Domin, and his brother, Neal Domin.

Bryan graduated from West Milwaukee High School in 1958 and went on to attend Ohio University and Milwaukee School of Engineering. He married the love of his life, Kathleen (nee Rau), on April 20, 1963. 

Bryan was the proud owner and operator of Promark Corporation in Muskego, WI, for more than 25 years, retiring in 2007. His passion for flying was a legacy he passed on to his son, Jeremy. Bryan was known as the "grandpa taxi extraordinaire," ensuring his grandchildren, JJ and Caroline, never missed a practice. Bryan and Kathy were always their biggest fans, always cheering them on at a race, game, or meet. He cherished traveling with his wife, Kathy, and their close friends, especially enjoying their winters in Florida. Bryan enjoyed bowling, flying, fishing, racing, and classic cars, including his cherished 1961 Pontiacs. 

A long-time member of Hales Corners Lutheran Church, Bryan was instrumental in starting the Hales Corners Lutheran School Booster Club to support sports at the school.
