Roy Edward Husk, 74, died suddenly and peacefully on Nov. 26, 2020, at his home in Cedarburg, WI. His final day was joyfully spent surrounded by his family.
Roy was born July 10, 1946 in Milwaukee to Roy and Olive (Frank) Husk. He married the love of his life, Ruth Ann Husk on October 26th, 1968. He was her constant companion, and they spent the next 52 years creating endless fun memories.
Roy worked many years as a steamfitter with Local 601. He was a member of the Army Reserve. Roy loved traveling with his wife and family and also enjoyed hunting, golfing, bird watching, and watching westerns.
His family knew him to be selfless and friendly to everyone. He was always playfully joking around and entertained his family with his fun-loving antics. His grandchildren resided close to his home and the highlight of his day was seeing them laugh and smile. He loved life and carried himself with a good sense of humor, finding a reason to enjoy each day.
He had a great love for animals, allowing pets of all kinds into his home. There have been many dogs and cats throughout his life drawn to his gentle and kind manner. He will be sadly missed by Pebbles, his devoted dachshund.
Roy suffered a stroke in 2013, which made communicating a challenge. His personality continued to shine through, and he enjoyed his life, always present in his family's most special occasions.
His grandson, Mark was his right-hand man for many years, faithfully by his side, caring for him with love and compassion.
