John J. Czosnek, 73, passed away at Ascension – All Saints Hospital on Tuesday, December 14, 2021 surrounded by loved ones.  He was born in Racine on November 5, 1948, son of the late John and Lillian (nee: Rau) Czosnek.

John and Jane started their lives together in 1976, 9 years later they were united in marriage on August 24, 1985, at Azarian Marina in Racine.

John loved having a good time with friend and family, hosting parties, and manning the grill every chance he got. He loved the 4 ^th of July celebration and could always be found sitting amongst his friends and family watching the parade on Main Street.  He loved big fireworks displays weather they were being shot off a Harry Azarian's roof or traveling with Jane to find the biggest and brightest. He was a sports fan always rooting for his favorite home state teams, especially the Packers and the Brewers. He enjoyed trips to Elkhart Lake, traveling to see the fall colors with Jane, the Kentucky Derby, Brewers spring training in Arizona, Burning Man in Nevada, or anywhere with a party and a good time. John was also a long-time member of the German Club in Racine.
