Christopher Palasz peacefully went to be with Jesus early morning of August 28th, 2019, surrounded by his family, at his home in South Milwaukee, because God knows he wasn’t leaving that home. Chris was preceded in death by his father Edward, mother Mary, and brother Phil. Chris is survived by his sons: Josh, Jake, Luke and Dave, brothers: Mark, Jim, Joe, sisters: Sandy, Patty, and Paula and his lovely ex-wife Kim Ziolkowski, who despite challenges in marriage, stood by him to his last breathe. He is further survived by his daughter-in-law Hannah, and his first and only grandson Leo Palasz.

Chris was born and raised in South Milwaukee, WI. He was a talented carpenter and was super generous with using his skills and talents to bless others. He loved Jesus, loved people, and loved building stuff in his basement full of tools. All of his sons looked up to him greatly. He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when he was 32 years old, and unfortunately slowly started losing abilities. Chris had some shaky years but in the end Chris’s true character shined bright, his loving heart was visible and his love for “That 70’s Show” was obvious.

Chris’s stubbornness was comical at times, but in the end his stubbornness was what kept him in his house surrounded by his loved ones. For the last year his sons and ex-wife took turns staying the nights, and were able to see Chris’s heart, his generosity, his loving character shine through the MS. Chris was strong, strong-willed or some would say stubburn, loyal, and loving. Although his last few years were spent lying on a bed, he is now doing all the things he loved with Jesus. Some of which are building stuff and eating sesame chicken.

The family would like to thank the wonderful team(s) doctors, nurses and caregivers that supported Chris throughout the many years of living with MS. Special thanks to the team at Vitas Hospice Center during Chris’s final months.
