  • Notes 
    • Patrick Van Asten, 56, Pulaski, passed away Sunday, Oct. 16, 2011, at a Green Bay hospital, following a long illness. Pat was born Mar. 19, 1955, the son of Gregory and Janet (Kempen) Van Asten and was a 1973 graduate of Premontre High School.

      Music was his passion. He was a terrific musician. He loved to write songs, play guitar and harmonica, and sing. He was a fan of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead. Pat was an avid reader. He enjoyed poetry, and Shakespeare was among his favorites. He liked to make things with his hands, and was a good carpenter and craftsman. He created many beautiful things, including picture frames made with distressed wood. He had been employed at NewCap of Oconto County for many years as a home energy audit consultant.

      Pat also liked to garden; he rarely needed a grocery store when his vegetable garden was ready for harvest. He appreciated the beauty of nature. He liked to spend time outdoors, and enjoyed camping and hiking. He loved to travel and had visited nearly every state in the country.

      Patrick was a peaceful man; he lived his life without wronging or offending others. He loved to laugh and to make others laugh, too. He always wanted the people around him to be happy. He was a good father, brother, son and friend. He cared very deeply for the people in his life and treated them well. He kept his loved ones in his daily prayers. He also enjoyed making bets with his dad, on whether the Packers would win.

      He will be deeply missed by his parents, Gregory and Janet Van Asten, Krakow; his son and daughter-in-law, Kory and Jeanie Van Asten, Green Bay; four brothers and one sister, Timm (Jane) Van Asten, Pulaski, Tony (Faye) Van Asten, Suamico, Tina (Al) Wagner, Suamico, Brian (Diane) Van Asten, Pulaski, and Greg (Julie) Van Asten, Krakow; nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends.

      Pat's family would like to recognize and thank Pat's sister, Tina, for all her help and the many things she did in taking care of him. A special thank you is also extended to St. Vincent Hospital ICU Staff, Dr. Suarez and Dr. Alshahrouri, Pat Giesler, N.P. and Emily Glime N.P.

      Friends may call at St. Casimir Church, W146 Park St, Krakow, at 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 22nd. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the church, Fr. James Esser, O.F.M. presiding. Marnocha Funeral Home, Pulaski, is serving the Van Asten family.
