Wayne VanDenHeuvel

Wayne VanDenHeuvel, 64, Cadott, a beloved husband, father, father-in-law, son, brother, uncle, grandpa and friend, passed away peacefully at his home, after battling prostate cancer for two years. He was surrounded with family by his side.

Wayne was born Sept. 1, 1957, the son of Howard and Ruth (Scheidler) VanDenHeuvel, in Cornell.

They moved to Cadott, to raise their family and Wayne graduated from Cadott High School in 1976.

Wayne married his high school sweetheart, Roxanne (Roxi) Ramseier, May 24, 1980. Following marriage, Wayne worked at Jensen Siding, where he met many special friends. Then, in 1991, Wayne started his own siding company, VanDenHeuvel Siding & Construction, that he ran for 30 plus years, until he recently retired. He showed pride in his work and valued each one of his customers.

He and Roxi enjoyed camping together, and weekend softball games. Wayne and Roxi had two daughters, Cheyenne and Cody. Over the years, Wayne enjoyed coaching their sport teams and taking summer vacations.

He taught his girls many life lessons, but most of all, to be strong women and put everything you have into everything you do.

Wayne loved the outdoors and enjoyed many hunting trips out west with family, camping at Bear Paw Resort in Birchwood, trap shooting, snowmobiling, bowling, golfing, playing baseball and playing cribbage. He also enjoyed weekly cards with special friends.

He spent several hours, fishing with close friends. He also enjoyed being on the Cadott Citizen’s State Bank board. Wayne spent a lot of time in his woods with his sonin- law, Adam, and grandsons, Logan and Dylan. They rode ATVs, hunted and shared many hunting stories about big bucks.

Wayne’s grandsons will always remember grandpa as an avid fisherman and will be proud to carry on his love for hunting, fishing and making sure they pack enough candy to get through the hunt.

He is survived by his wife of 41 years – Roxi; two children – Cheyenne (Adam) Bohlinger, Portage, and Cody VanDenHeuvel, Boston, Mass.; two very special grandchildren – Logan and Dylan Bohlinger, Portage; his loving family, mother – Ruth VanDenHeuvel, Cadott; sister – Brenda (Gary) Schemenauer, Chippewa Falls; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father – Howard VanDen-Heuvel; and father-in-law – Lloyd Ramseier.

Services were at 1 p.m., Tuesday, March 15, at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Cadott, with the Rev. Dr. Gary Paul officiating. Visitation was held from 10 a.m., until the time of service, Tuesday, at the church.
