On Nov. 8, 2020 Richard Carl Nitschke passed away unexpectedly in Minocqua. He owned several businesses throughout his life but was most recently employed at Marinette Marine. A machinist by trade, he left Green Bay and joined the Army at age 18.

Post military he lived in lower MIchigan, Florida, various areas of Wisconsin but most recently in Rhinelander with his significant other Andrea Healy. Her two children Jake and Cassidy Weinstein were very special to him. Richard loved working with his hands and was quite the outdoorsman. Fishing was a passion, fish feared him when he was on the water. He had a loving connection with most dogs, Sparky and Dexter were two of his greatest buds.

Born Jan. 25, 1966, he was adopted by Raymond Ernest and Jacqueline Cherie (Forchette) Nitschke (both deceased). Richard has left behind brother John Raymond Nitschke of Wausau, and sister Amy Nitschke (Jason Borseth) Powers, Mich. as well as his nieces and nephews Jacqueline, Anna and Nathan Klaas, Green Bay.

In 1999, Richard was blessed to be reunited with his birth family - parents, Dale and Sandy Danielson (both deceased), sisters and brothers - Cheryl Danielson of Quinnesec, Mich., Robert (Annette) Danielson of Norway, Mich., Cindy (Graham) Donahue of Florence, Jim (Sharon) Danielson of Manitowoc, Danny (Michelle) Danielson of Appleton, Dale (Sandy) Danielson of Asheville N.C., Davey Danelson of Fond du Lac, Becky Danielson of Neenah, Jerry Danielson (deceased) and several nieces and nephews. The family would like to send a special thank you to Julie and Ed Hanson for the help they gave to Richard these past years.

Richard was not a perfect man but he was a kind and compassionate man who always looked out for the underdog. He will be sorely missed.

Due to the current pandemic, the family is postponing his "Celebration of Life" until spring of 2021 when we can all (hopefully) be together. You may leave your private condolences for the Nitschke family at www.carlsonfh.com. The Carlson Funeral Home(715-369-1414) is handling the arrangements for the family.
