Randall J. Ruelle Obituary
Randall Joseph Ruelle "Fritz" May 23, 1955 – February 16, 2025.
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Randall "Randy" Joseph Ruelle, lovingly known as "Fritz," on February 16, 2025, at the age of 69. Born on May 23, 1955, to Ambrose and Donna Ruelle, Randy was a cherished son, brother, and a beloved member of his community. His warmth, spirit, and infectious joy for life touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Born with special needs, Randy never let any challenge define him. Instead, he grew into a remarkable man full of kindness, determination, and an unwavering zest for life. Raised in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, he embraced his community and formed lasting friendships throughout his life.
Randy was immensely proud of his 25 years of service at Ellsworth Adhesives, where he became known for his strong work ethic, friendly nature, and ability to brighten any room with just a smile. He retired at the age of 60, leaving behind a legacy of dedication and camaraderie.
Outside of his career, Randy found joy in life's simple pleasures—a cheeseburger with two slices of tomato, spending quality time with family, and making others laugh. He embraced each day with gratitude and lived life to the fullest. We can take comfort in knowing that Randy is now enjoying his cheeseburger in paradise. His resilience, love, and uncanny ability to recall history will forever remain in the hearts of those fortunate enough to know him.
Randy is now reunited with his father, Ambrose, and his godson and nephew, Daniel, in eternal peace. He is survived by his mother, Donna Ruelle, his sister MaryBeth Yeager (Mark), his brothers Brian Ruelle (Lori) and Todd Ruelle (Katy), as well as numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, and cousins. His legacy of love, strength, and inspiration will be cherished forever.
A celebration of Randy's life and his 70th birthday will take place on May 23, 2025, 10:00 AM at St. Anthony's Catholic Church, N74 W13604 Appleton Avenue, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin 53051. Family and friends are invited to gather and honor his memory.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Saint Anthony Catholic Church or the Special Olympics of Wisconsin in memory of Randy.
Rest easy, Randy our son, brother and friend—you were truly one of a kind!
