In memory 

Gunner Lee Masalewicz of Oconomowoc, died unexpectedly on Wednesday, January 22, 2025 at Froedtert Hospital. He was 34 years of age. He was born in Brookfield, WI on October 15, 1990, son of Corey and Tracy (nee Steckl) Masalewicz. He was a graduate of Oconomowoc High School. He primarily worked as a graphic artist. Gunner will always be remembered as a kind, loving, charismatic, generous, gifted artist and a free spirit.

 He will be sadly missed by his parents Corey and Tracy Masalewicz of Oconomowoc, his sister, Dakota (fiancé Tyler Winkelman) Masalewicz, niece Talia Winkelman, grandmother Faye Steckl (Nana) and Bailey Springer (Soulmate and partner) all of Waukesha. Further survived by aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Jan (Papa) and Fawn (Granny) Masalewicz, grandfather Peter J Steckl (Bapa) and aunt Buffy Masalewicz. 

Per Gunner’s wishes, his parents will host a private “celebration of life” in the summer and Gunner’s cremated remains will be placed at an undisclosed location of his choice.

 

Throughout life we are taught to survive and live longer

The longer I’ve lived, the more I’ve realized; 

Living isn’t measured in years-But in moments 

These moments should be treasured more, 

Because they are fleeting 

In the end, all we are is the sum of those choices 

that we’ve made 

Measured in meaning and impact of the people’s

Lives we have touched. 

  

Proverbs 19:21 

Many are the plans of a Man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
