Ricky Oestreich Obituary
A Celebration of Tank's life will be held at a later date. The Maurina-Schilling Funeral Home in Abbotsford is entrusted with the arrangements.
Tank was born on August 8, 1961, the son of Richard "Dick" and Sharon (Fischer) Oestreich in Marshfield. He graduated from Loyal High School in 1979. Tank was a long-haul Trucker for over 40 years. He enjoyed every minute of it and drove millions of miles over his career with only one accident.
Tank liked to shoot pool and entered many tournaments. He also enjoyed tractor pulls, both participating and watching, and riding his Harley-Davidson Motorcycle. Tank loved watching football, especially the Packers and Badgers and also watching the Brewers. He was known for his sarcastic humor and quick wit. Most importantly, he loved and cherished his family and was a proud Dad and Grandpa.
Tank is survived by four children: Ross Brill of Colby, Rich Oestreich of Stetsonville, Ryssa Oestreich (Alex Utke) of Stetsonville and ReAnna Oestreich of Loyal; three grandchildren: Adeline and Kash Utke and Rylie Brill. He is further survived by his father, Richard "Dick" Oestreich of FL, his brother, Ronald Oestreich of FL, his Aunt Penny Schmutzler of Medford, nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.
He is preceded in death by his mother, Sharon.
