With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Delwin "Del" Duane Dubinski, who left us in the early part of January 2025 at his home in Oshkosh, WI. Born on September 29, 1965, to the late Norbert and Elizabeth (Eppinger) Dubinski Sr. Del lived a life rich with love, laughter, and a deep appreciation for the simple joys that life has to offer.
Del was a man of many passions. He found joy in the great outdoors, whether it was casting a line while fishing or trekking through the woods during hunting season. He had a special talent for capturing the beauty of nature through photography, always seeing the world through a lens of wonder. His love for music knew no bounds, and he often found the right song to accompany any moment.
Above all, Del cherished his family. He was deeply proud of his daughters, Fawn (Jeffrey) Straus and Jessie (Tracy) Richardson, and his son, Zach (Morgan) Dubinski. As a grandfather to Anastasia, Oliver, Nikolai, Hayley, Jordan, Ellie, Foster, and Lennox, Del's face would light up with joy at the mention of their names. He was a storyteller at heart, capable of striking up a conversation with anyone he met, and he had an open door for anyone seeking a helping hand. With his vast collection of tools and a wealth of knowledge, he could tackle any project, big or small, often with a smile and a friendly joke.
He is survived by his sisters, Jo (David) Schafer and Diane Dillman, and his brother, Michael (Lynn) Dubinski. He will also be fondly remembered by the family and friends he leaves behind, including the relatives not mentioned here but who held a special place in his heart. Del was preceded in death by his brother, Norbert Dubinski Jr., and sisters Susan Dehn and Lucy Kellerman.
To celebrate Del's life and legacy, a visitation will be held on January 21, 2025, at Konrad-Behlman Funeral Home-Westside (100 Lake Pointe) from 3-6PM. Family and friends are invited to gather, share memories, and honor a man who dedicated himself to the love and support of others.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the American Heart Association, a cause that held significance for Del.
Though he may have left this world, the stories Del shared and the love he imparted will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Rest in peace, Del. You will be dearly missed.
