Bradley "Brad" Ryan Olds

Bradley “Brad” R. Olds, 44, Kronenwetter, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Monday, January 26, 2026, surrounded by his family.

Brad was born on March 20, 1981, son of the late Richard and Karen (Perkins) Olds. He graduated from Mosinee High School in 1999 where he met his future wife, Dawn Raczek, and they married on August 30, 2003, at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, she survives.

Brad had a personality bigger than life, and a sense of humor and the ability to entertain others to match. He had a great big smile and was so outgoing. He could talk to anyone and everyone he met like he had known them forever and could tell stories like no other. The enthusiasm and excitement he had for the things he enjoyed in life was palpable and contagious. Brad loved anything to do with skiing, traveling, and music, and nothing made those things even better than enjoying them with his beautiful wife and children.

Besides his wife Dawn, Brad is survived by his children, Olivia, Wyatt, and Tesla Olds. He is further survived by his stepfather, John Pasko, sister Stacie Olds and her children Destiny, Keegan, and Avah, sister Billie Olds, brother Kylie Olds, parents-in-law Anthony and Cheryl Raczek, brother-in-law John (Carol) Raczek, and their children Emma, Elizabeth, Micah, Jubilee, and Anthony, sister-in-law Julie (Andy) Zarnowski and their children Allison and Joseph, and sister-in law Lisa (Peng) Qiang, and their children Sierra, Mylah, and Jun. Brad was preceded in death by his parents, Richard Olds and Karen Olds.
