Robert Charles Krawczyk, known affectionately by friends and family as Rob, was called to eternal life in his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on November 26, 2024, at the age of 53.
Rob attended school at Bay View High School, then later attended MATC in 2004 to obtain his welding certification where he worked at Maynard Steel Casting Co in Maintenance. Over the years he had many different roles in different positions, but welding was something he truly enjoyed.
Rob is the son of Roseanne and Raymond Brother of Shannon. Beloved husband of Jennifer Krawczyk and the proud father of Robert Krawczyk Jr., Alexandria Kaszuba, Stephanie Ortega, Olivia (Delvin) Breitzman, and Ashton Krawczyk.
His family was the cornerstone of his life, and he instilled in them the values of love, humor, and passion – attributes that he carried in abundance. Rob's role as a family man was one, he treasured above all, and his legacy lives on through the lives of his children and four grandchildren Sophia, Brian, Lucy, and Kaden.
Rob's interests were varied and joyfully pursued. He had an enduring love of music that was both comfort and a source of inspiration throughout his life. He could often be found playing spades with friends and family, a pastime where his competitive spirit and sharp wit were on full display. As a sports enthusiast, Rob never missed a chance to watch a game and root for his favorite teams. His enthusiasm for sports was infectious, and his presence at a game – whether it was on the field or in front of a television – was a guarantee of good times and spirited conversations.
Those who knew Rob will remember him as a loving husband, a devoted father, grandfather and a loyal friend. His sense of humor brought laughter to any room, and his passion for life made an indelible impact on everyone he encountered. Rob was always the life of the party. Rob succeeded in all these ways and so many more. He will be dearly missed by his family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
As we bid farewell to Robert Charles Krawczyk, we take comfort in knowing that his was a life well-lived, full of the moments that make life precious. Though he has left this earthly realm, his presence will be deeply missed, but the echo of his laughter will resonate in the hearts of his loved ones forever.
In lieu of flowers donations appreciated to the family.
A poem:
Tears filled my sadness I bear
In my heart, I will know you always will be there
Far apart is we may be I know together one day we will be in harmony.
I can't seem to let you go as you watch over me
My heart you will forever be
Truly, madly deeply
