Passed suddenly on June 23, 2018, at age 69. Devoted husband of Linda (nee Foster) for 49 years. Proud father of Jeff (Jenny) and Jennifer (Jesse) Sheteron. Beloved Papa of Devin, Cooper, Ashlee Dykes and Miles, Mason and Addison Sheteron.

Dan Dziobkowski was born on October 21, 1948 in South Milwaukee, WI. He was a graduate of Cudahy High School and enrolled in the Marine Corps in 1967. He admirably served in Echo Company 2-3 during the Vietnam War. He received the Purple Heart and achieved rank of Corporal during his tour of duty and was discharged on June 10, 1969.

Dan married the love of his life Linda on October 25, 1969. They were blessed with two children and six adoring grandchildren. He enjoyed every minute spent with his family up north fishing, relaxing, hunting and cruising around the lake on his pontoon boat.

His love for baseball started for himself at a young age as a catcher and his dedication to and knowledge of the game continued with him coaching both Jeff and Jenni through their early childhood. Additionally, he was a devoted Brewers fan that never missed a game.

He worked at Lucas-Milhaupt in Cudahy, WI for 42 years, retiring in February of 2008.

We were very sorry to here of Dan's sudden passing and wish all of you our deepest sympathies. When we were boys (Dan was 4 years older), he put me on the back of his bike and taught me how to make what he called rolling stops through stop signs. I told my dad Jerry about it. My dad was a Cudahy cop. He told me to always stop at stop signs and stop listening to Dan. Just a small remembrance from when we were kids. Your whole family is in our prayers during this very sad time.

Truly sorry for your loss. We have lost a good man and a good Marine. Semper Fi, Dan. Rest in Peace!
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

So very sorry for the passing of a great brother-in law. So many memories over all the years, remember so fondly a fishing trip with Dan on Lake Michigan many years ago, launched his Sea Ray boat at 5am on a absolutely sun drenched morning. After several hours of trying to land some Coho, the storm of the year blew in, I was freaking out. Dan kept his cool and got us safely back home, a great guy, brother-in law and a truly good person who will be sorely missed by all.

Linda and family, I am heart-broken over Dan’s passing. You and he have been so sweet to me since I lost Jack - Dan was the true spirit of “Semper Fidelis.” I have enjoyed the pictures he sent to me over the years of your beautiful grandchildren - Dan always looked so happy when he was in the middle of them. He signed off on his messages with “SD.” When he told me it meant “sweet dreams,” I thought that exactly exemplified the person he was. SD, Dan, and Semper Fidelis.
