It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of beloved father, grandfather, and brother, Brian L. Bodenstein, who left us on Sunday, October 5th at the age of 62.

Brian was born to Wolfgang and Brita Bodenstein in Madison, Wisconsin. Brian lived a life defined by hard work, love for his family, and an unwavering dedication to the things — and people — that mattered most.

A Prayer Service for Brian will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at Vosseteig Funeral Home in Gays Mills. Burial will follow at the Mook Cemetery in Rolling Ground, WI. Visitation will be held from 9 a.m. until the time of the service at the funeral home. Online Condolences may be expressed at www.vossfh.com.

A celebration of Brian’s life will be held at McCormick's Rolling Ground Bar & Grill in Soldiers Grove which is right next to Mook Cemetery. Family and friends are invited to gather and share memories of the man whose steady hands and loving heart shaped so many lives.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund is being established in loving memory of Brian L. Bodenstein and the family asks that donations be made in Brian’s honor — a fitting tribute to his lifelong love of family, community, and hard work.

Though his presence will be deeply missed, Brian’s love, strength, and laughter will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
