Royce Allan Havlik, 90, passed away at home surrounded by family on October 17, 2025, after a brief illness. He was born in Barnum, Wisconsin, on February 4, 1935, to Frank and Esther (Holliday) Havlik. He attended the two-room grade school in Barnum, graduated from Gays Mills High School, and then went on to U.W. Platteville and graduated with a B. S. in Agriculture.

Special thanks to St. Croix Hospice--especially Laurie, Jasmine and Carey; to his loving family for their care; and to the Madison VA for their exceptional care throughout the years—he always said they kept him alive.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Gays Mills. Fr. Tom Huff will officiate. Visitation will be held from 9:00 a.m. until the time of the service. A luncheon will follow at the Gays Mills Community Center. Online Condolences may be expressed at www.vossfh.com.
