Herman “Ronnie” Siemers Jr., 51, died Feb. 10, 2017, after a long and valiant struggle. He was born Jan. 27, 1966, to Herman Sr. and Patricia (nee Anderson).
He was raised and attended school in East Troy. He met his soul mate Cheryl (nee Domino) in June 1992 and after a courtship of four months his infectious smile, charm and laughter made Cheryl realize everything in her life led them to this point and they were married on Oct. 24, 1992, in Mukwonago.
Ronnie’s family said he has left so many memories for all of them there is no way to share just one, no matter how Ronnie felt, he always had a smile for everyone. His wife said, “Life has been like our initials ever since, H & C or Hot and Cold.”
Ronnie’s favorite hobbies were, hunting, fishing, collecting of stuff that Cheryl is not supposed to know about; being with family and friends, ATVing with his wife and family up north; traveling side by side with Cheryl around the world, and being in his machines moving dirt and making piles. He was also a proud member of the world’s largest civilian militia, the Deer Hunters Association.
Ronnie is survived by his loving, caring, ying to her yang, and soul mate wife, Cheryl; children, Jason (Stephanie); Brianna (Kyle); Kaila; Nicole (John); “adopted” son, Dustin (Krissie); grandchildren, Jacob, J.J., Isabella and Kyle; mother, Patricia; sisters, Tamara (Sarge) and Rebecca; in-laws, Edward (Marianne) Domino; brother-in-law (his brother from another mother), Greg (Anita); sisters-in-law, Lori Domino and Jen Schmidt; nephews, Ryan (Ashton) Domino and Sam Tuttle; nieces, Kristin (Jeremy) Heacox and Lauren Tuttle; and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins.
He is further survived by his best friends, Wendell Schultz, Ron Kmichik, Darrin Kmichik; and literally hundreds of friends, too many to mention but not forgotten. Most of all, his loving companion and “Baby girl,” Tsuchi and Hunter.
He was preceded in death by his daughter, Staci Lynn; father, and his first furbaby, Shadow.
