Chester "Chuck" Ernest Ferron Jr.,

age 75, of Springstead, passed away on December 14, 2025, at Park Manor Nursing Home.

Chester was born on July 21, 1950, in Phillips, Wisconsin, the son of Chester Sr. and Alice

(Halverson) Ferron. He grew up in the Springstead area and attended Mercer High School, graduating with the Class of 1968. He joined the U.S. Army and served his country briefly before being honorably discharged for medical reasons.

On July 24, 1971, Chester was united in marriage to Christine Radtke. Though later divorced, Christine remained his friend and caregiver.

Chuck spent much of his working life in the Northwoods, alongside his father with C&C Ferron Logging & Trucking and later working over the road as a truck driver.

In his free time, Chester enjoyed fishing, especially with his late buddy, Ron Stark. He liked spending time outdoors, cutting firewood, driving his ATV, and visiting with his friends at DaVita Northern Star for his weekly Dialysis appointments, and having a Diet Pepsi at P&P bar in Springstead. Those who knew him would remember him as a resilient man who overcame many obstacles in life.

He is survived by his children, Michael (Mary) Ferron of Wausau, Mark Farron of Springstead, Terri Ann Ferron of Superior, and Stephen Ferron of Superior; his grandchildren, Zachary, Benton, Mitchell, Dominic, and Elizabeth; his former wife and mother of his children, Christine Ferron; his sister, Penny (Gary) Schmidt; and by nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Funeral service will be held at 1:00pm on Friday December 19, 2025, at Birch Street Funeral Service Chapel in Park Falls. Brad Dehmlow will officiate.

Visitation will be held from 12:00pm until the hour of the service on Friday December 19, 2025, at the funeral home.

Interment will take place in spring at Nola Cemetery in Park Falls with Military Honors under the auspices of the Park Falls American Leion Post 182.
