Joseph Gutenkauf Obituary
The passing of Joseph Gutenkauf (Stillwater, Minnesota), born in Brainerd, Minnesota leaves a void in the hearts of many, as we bid farewell to a loving soul who departed on August 31, 2025 at the age of 83. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Joseph Gutenkauf to show support.
As we bid Joseph farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Joseph is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Robert and MaryLou; his daughter Stephanie; and his brother Robert. He is survived by: his former wife Rita Mertz; his son John; and his wife Peggy Sherman.
If anyone feels compelled to give something beyond flowers, donations to the Big Doctor Lake Association in Jay's memory would help with much needed lake restoration efforts.
