Ronald Joseph Osentoski

Ronald Joseph Osentoski, a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on March 18, 2026, in Mt. Clemens, Michigan, at the age of 69. Ronald was born on January 4, 1957, in Cass City, Michigan. Ronald led a fulfilling life enriched by his passions and family. An accomplished cook, Ron cherished preparing Polish dishes, especially during the Christmas season, drawing connections to his heritage and family traditions. His love for the outdoors was evident in his avid pursuits of hunting and fishing. He found peace gardening around his vacation home in Gaylord, Michigan, where he could also be found relishing his favorite Polish brandy, "Janoofka." A skilled professional in electrical motor repair, Ron operated and owned a successful business, earning respect and admiration in his field. Beyond his career, he shared a deep love for his dogs, Coco and Roxy, with his cherished wife, Shirley, who passed away just two days before him. Ron is survived by his loving daughters, Shaina and Sabrina Osentoski. He also leaves behind his siblings: Marie (the late Frank) Lasceski, Jim (Diana) Osentoski, Janice (John) Carpenter, Arnold (Joan) Osentoski, and Kevin Osentoski. He is predeceased by his brother, Robert Osentoski. Ronald is also survived by a multitude of nieces, nephews, and cousins who will greatly miss his presence. Ron shared a beautiful and inspiring life journey with his late wife, Shirley Ann Osentowski, who passed on March 16, 2026. Shirley loved quilting, cross stitching, painting, and traveling—especially to visit their daughter in Arizona. She dedicated many years to the Anchor Bay School District before her retirement. Visitation for Shirley and Ronald will occur on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, from 2-8 pm at the Wasik Funeral Home, Gendernalik Chapel, located at 35259 23 Mile Rd. in New Baltimore, Michigan.
