Charles D. Kositzke

Charles “Charlie” Kositzke, 26, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, March 13, 2015.

Charlie was born on December 10, 1988 in Appleton to Rick and Lisa (Dercks) Kositzke. He completed the plumbing apprenticeship program through Rock Road Plumbing at Fox Valley Tech and currently enjoyed working for R J Parins. Charlie excelled at trap and sporting clay shooting, competed at the Badger State Games and was a member of the Outagamie Conservation Club. He also enjoyed four wheeling, snowmobiling, country music and hanging out with his friends, but his true passion was goose hunting. Charlie enjoyed taking hunting trips to North Dakota with family and friends. Charlie had many friends and everywhere he went, it seemed he knew someone. He had a heart of gold and was always there to lend a hand.

Charlie is survived by his mom, Lisa (fiancé Tom Pawlowski) Kositzke, three brothers; Nick (Katie) Kositzke, Eric Kositzke, and Greg (Sandy) Kositzke, nephews; Ethan, Owen, and Hunter Kositzke, his grandmother, Doane Kositzke, many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Charlie was preceded in death by his father Rick, maternal grandparents; Delphine and Richard Dercks, and paternal grandfather, Robert Kositzke.
