Stanley Kondracki Obituary

On February 18, 2024, Stanley "Gary" Kondracki, 75, of Custer, left this world peacefully. He
came into this world on November 6, 1948, in Ypsilanti, as the son of Stanley and Margaret
(Shepherd) Kondracki.
Gary spent 30 years of his life working for Ford Motor Company. He earned a reputation for
being patient, understanding, and reliable in his work and personal life. He was a man of
integrity, generosity, and honesty.
Gary enjoyed his hobbies in his spare time. He was a longtime member of the Fin and Feather
Club and taught Hunter Safety classes there with his wife, Darlene. He had a knack for making
birdhouses and loved being outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. Gary was a loving husband
and father to his best friend, Darlene, and her son, Eric. He embraced his role as father
wholeheartedly and never saw himself as a step-father. He treasured his time as a grandfather.
Gary is survived by his son, Eric (Eileen) Brandt, and grandsons, Kenneth, Dylan, and Alexander
Brandt.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Darlene McMann Kondracki, and his parents, Stanley and
Margaret Kondracki.
Gary's funeral service will take place on Thursday, February 22, 2024, at 11 am at Bachelor
Evangelical Covenant Church in Fountain. Visitation will start at 10 am. In lieu of flowers,
donations can be made to the Fin and Feather Club or to the church.
Please share your warm memories of Gary at www.OakGroveLudington.com.
Arrangements were entrusted to Oak Grove Funeral Home of Ludington.
