Craig Vincent Wettstein, 64, passed away at his home in Tucson, AZ, on Feb. 20, 2015. Craig was born in Conde, SD, to Willis and Lucille Wettstein. As a child, his family moved to Boyd, MN, then onto Edgerton, WI, where Craig graduated from Edgerton High School. He worked for GM Assembly in Janesville, WI, and did a brief stint with the Air Force, and, then, returned to GM as a line supervisor for a total of 15 years of service.
He and his family moved to Orfordville, WI, and for about 5 years he had his own body shop there. Then the family moved to Indiana, and he worked for Pacesetter Corp and 84 Lumber yards in Indiana and Michigan. As he matured, he found his taste for the nomadic sales routes waning and starting working at Home Depot in Michigan, Madison, WI, and finally Tucson, AZ, where he was the "Pro Desk" guru. He retired due to his health in September of 2011. Craig married Sharon Gorman in 1968, and later marriages were to Julie Buck of Janesville, and Melissa Kempton of Michigan
Craig leaves behind his two sons, Michael Wettstein of New Market, NH, and Chad Wettstein of Tucson, AZ; an adopted daughter, Dawn Borchardt of Rapid City, SD; and a step-son, Mason Moore of Michigan. There are seven grandchildren: Katherine "Katy", Ashley and Nicole Wettstein, Tasha and Tyler Beyer, Jarrett and Shazalyne Wettstein. Craig is survived by his siblings: Aaron (DeAnne) Wettstein, Belva Kramer and William (Deena) Wettstein, all of Janesville, and Debra (Neil) Cox of Edgerton, WI; along with many nieces and nephews, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents.
A private service with his two sons in Tucson, will be followed by a Celebration of Craig's Life in Edgerton, at a future time and date.
