Ronald Henry Cardinahl was born on October 11, 1967 in Manitowoc, WI. parents are Donald C. Cardinahl (Marge) of Manitowoc, WI and Marlene (Behnke) Cardinahl, Chilton, WI. He passed on February 5, 2025.

He has seven sisters and two brothers; Deb and Steve Hert of St. Cloud, Penny Mollet of Manitowoc, Candy Kessler of New Holstein, Gay and Dan Woelfel of New Holstein, Kim Seefeld (Gene Woelfel) of Hilbert, Donald H Cardinahl of Armstrong Creek, Paula and John Winkel of Brillion, Cara and Craig Elonen of Knoxville, TN, Conrad Cardinahl of Necedah, along with sixteen nieces and nephews and twenty-three great nieces and nephews.

He was an intelligent man of many different trades. If he didn't understand something, he found a way to teach himself and others, either by reading, googling or YouTube videos. Some would say a perfectionist, "those nails all had to be in a straight line". He was kind and was a giver when he could. His compassion and caring for his family and friends sometimes over took him but we all knew it came from the bottom of his heart. Many of us envied his gorgeous long eye lashes and knack for tie- dye shirts. He will be deeply missed but his memories will carry on. Our love for him will last forever.

We would like thank his closest friends, Jim Kopp, Pat Price, Darin Joniaux and his nephew, Ryan Kessler, along with many others for always extending a helping hand when Ron was in need due to poor health these last years. We would also like to thank Kiel police and ambulance services for their help.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Henry and Myrtle Behnke and Henry and Adela Cardinahl.

There will be a Celebration of Ron's Life on Saturday, May 31, 2025 from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Kohler Education Center at the Sheboygan Marsh, W7039 County SR, Elkhart Lake WI 53020.
