Dietmar "Deet" R. Braune, 64, of Altoona, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, January 15th at his cabin on Lake Holcombe.
He is survived by his soul mate and best friend, Rita Schrantz of Altoona; two children, Chad Braune (Mona Myers) of Eau Claire and Melissa Braune (Dan Markow) of Chippewa Falls; 6 grand children and one great-grand child; two sisters, Robyn Thomas (Cory), Regina Hagberg (Tom); brother, Steve Braune; step mother, Carol Braune; and his treasured cousins in Germany and Australia; along with the many friends who loved him.
He was born March 30, 1948 in Gera, Germany. He was the son of Rudolf and Ilse Braune. In 1953 they came to America and moved to southern Minnesota. Deet became a US Citizen in 1958 and served in the US Army from 1966-1969.
Deet is employed by CESA 10, beginning his career there in February of 2002 as an Energy Consultant in the Chippewa Falls Office. Prior to joining the CESA 10 team, he was an Electrical Designer for Ayres Associates and Account Executive for Excel Energy. In 2006, Deet and Rita purchased The Silver Bear, a home decor shop, in Lake Holcombe.
Deet loved meeting people and had the ability to immediately make them smile with his mischievous nature. He loved relaxing at the cabin and boating on Lake Holcombe, his Alaskan and other fishing trips, his Arizona getaways, golfing on the Lake Holcombe league, traveling, gardening and landscaping, bonfires and special times with friends and family. He thoroughly enjoyed watching the football games with friends at Big Swede's Resort on Lake Holcombe. So many treasured memories were created with his friends.
He is preceded in death by his father. Rudolf; and mother, Ilse.
Memorials may be given in Dietmar's name to The Dietmar R. Braune Fund or The Youth of Lake Holcombe Endowment Fund, a fund he was instrumental in establishing. Both may be sent to The Community Foundation of Chippewa County, PO Box 153, Chippewa Falls, WI 54729. Donations may also be made to a place of the donor's choice in Dietmar's name.
Celebration of Life will be Friday, February 8, from 3-7 p.m. at Stokes, Prock and Mundt Funeral Chapel (535 S. Hillcrest Parkway, Altoona). Full Military Rights will be provided by American Legion Post 53 at 6:30 p.m. to conclude the evening celebration. A true celebration of Deet's life will be held at Lake Holcombe in spring.
