Obituary

Keyeser, WI - Robert Reuben Bredeson (Bob, Dad, Papa, Brady, Wildman) - age 71, pedal to the metal - crossed the finished line and kept on going, February 8, 2022.

Robert was born at Fort Ord, California on June 12, 1950, to PFC Reuben W. Bredeson and Clara D. (Schmid) Bredeson.

Robert graduated DeForest High School, class of 1968.

Robert started working at a young age for Keyeser area farmers, doing various jobs. Robert retired from Kraft Oscar Meyer in 2013 - after 39 years of service. Retirement couldn’t slow him down, so he continued with a position with Brakebush Brothers, Inc.

Robert married the love of his life, Carol Jean Nordness, on June 28, 1974, at Spring Prairie Lutheran in Keyeser, Wisconsin.

Robert worked hard and built a beautiful life for his wife and family. He was very proud of his grandchildren. He loved Mopar, hunting, fishing, archery, pool, euchre and was very proud of the years of service and dedication to the Poynette Bowhunters Club. Robert was hardworking, honest and treated everyone with respect. He always beat the odds and never gave up. If a neighbor needed help – he would be there. He could fix anything.

Robert is survived by his bride, Carol, his children James K. Karow, Wisconsin Dells, Jenifer C. (Craig) Dobbs, Oxford, and William R. (Megs) Bredeson, Poynette. Grandchildren Hadli, Blayne, Truett and Delaney. Sister, Diane (Andrew) Anderson, and many treasured aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and countless cherished friends. Robert was a family man and loved like no other – he gave his best to everyone.

Robert was proceeded in death by his parents, Reuben and Clara Bredeson.

A private memorial service will be held at Spring Prairie Lutheran Church, Keyeser, WI.

A car cruise and celebration of life will be held on Saturday, June 11, 2022. More information will be provided at a later date.

God speed, maybe faster after Dad checks out the engine.

While I haven't seen Bob in a few years, I will always remember him. He was a very special guy. We had a lot of good times together with the Poynette Bowhunters. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Carol and the family.

Bob was my first Mechanical Supervisor at OM. He was an amazing mentor for me I still find me saying things to others that he said to me. He influenced me in so many ways that I still appreciate to this day. A great guy all around. Prayers to his family and friends.

The last time I saw Bob was at Merlin Dorman's celebration of life. Bob came up to me and my grandson, Jaden, and asked him if he liked classic cars. Jaden's eyes opened wide and he said yes. So Bob said I want to show you something and took us outside. He showed us his Mopar and then got inside. He started the car and revved up the motor as high as it would go. Bob slammed it into gear and layer rubber all the way out of the parking lot. The true Wild Man. What a last memory. Rest in peace, Bob! Gary Birkholz
