Church & Chapel Funeral Home - BrookfieldRonald Bredl Obituary
Age 77, of Elm Grove, Wisconsin, passed away on September 26, 2025, after a courageous battle with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy, a rare muscular disease.
Born and raised in Wisconsin, Ron proudly served his country in the U.S. Army, including a tour in Vietnam. Following his military service, he dedicated 28 years to his career as a steamfitter and pipefitter.
Ron will be remembered as a devoted husband, father, brother, and friend. He is survived by his loving wife, Alice; his son, Colton; and his sisters, Kathy and Tricia.
Outside of his work and service, Ron found great joy in collecting stamps and cheering for his beloved Green Bay Packers.
In keeping with Ron's wishes, memorial donations may be made to The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Wisconsin Chapter in his honor.
A memorial visitation will be held on Thursday, October 16, 2025 at CHURCH AND CHAPEL FUNERAL HOME, 1875 N. Calhoun Rd., Brookfield from 1:00 PM until the memorial service at 2:00 PM.
