It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sean Anthony Putzer, born on November 24, 1971, in Racine, Wisconsin. Sean left this world peacefully on February 22, 2026, at the age of 54, surrounded by the tranquility that he cherished throughout his life.
Sean was a dedicated employee of the Andis Company, where he worked as a polisher in the hair tool manufacturing industry. His commitment to his craft was unwavering, even during his illness, showcasing the resilience and determination that defined his spirit.
He was known for his love of the great outdoors, having a profound appreciation for nature that highlighted his adventurous soul. An avid fisherman and hunter, Sean found joy in archery, wielding both gun and bow with a passion that reflected his deep bond with the wilderness. Amongst the rustling leaves and the whispering winds, he found freedom and solace riding ATVs.
NASCAR fueled his enthusiasm, with Dale Earnhardt standing as his favorite icon, embodying the tenacity and courage that Sean admired so deeply. In his younger days, he also enjoyed the camaraderie of bowling, further testament to his love for connection and community.
Sean is survived by his loving mother, Cecelia Kreplelan, who will forever hold his memory close to her heart; sister, Kimberly Putzer-Weinreber; nephew, Alan Weinreber; niece, Alisha “Tony Beth” Weinreber; great-niece, Rose Leniah; aunts, uncles, other relatives, and dear friends too numerous to mention.
Sean is preceded in death by his father, Alan Putzer; and aunt, Michaeline Pier.

To Sean’s family our deepest condolences.
I wonder if you knew Sean had another family?
The Klotz family. Sean was a staple at every family gathering and if he wasn’t there you can bet everyone was asking where he was.
I am Sherry the daughter of Roger Klotz and sister of Mike Klotz. Sean was a kind and gentle soul. He helped me with many of my plumbing disasters which I’m forever grateful for.
Sean will be missed deeply by all of us. He was a great friend!
Unfortunately I will be on vacation at the time of Sean’s service and very sorry I will miss it.
But I will have someone from my family wish him goodbye for me.
Sincerely,
Dave & Sherry Prucha

My condolences to his family. Sean was like another brother to me. I will miss his always happy attitude. Even through his illness he kept up the “kick cancer’s butt” mentality. Rest easy Little Brother.
