Gerald Starck
Gerald James Starck, 70, of rural Augusta, passed away in hospice care and surrounded by his mother and dear friends on Monday evening, October 21, 2024.  

Gerald was born August 11, 1954, in Eau Claire to James and Delores (Schiefelbein) Starck. Gerald lived all of his life on the family farm in Ludington Township, rural Augusta. He was baptized, confirmed and life long member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Ludington. He attended White Country School, Augusta Elementary and graduated from Augusta High School with the class of 1972.  
Following high school he attended college for a year and then started working for Heekin Can Company in Augusta. He was employed by Heekin for five years and then decided to join his parents on their dairy farm, working with them before taking it over on his own in 2014. Due to many health issues Gerald was force to retire from farming 2 years ago.  

Gerald was very content to be on the farm with no intentions to travel very far away. He was a loyal Minnesota Twins fan and also a fan of the Green Bay Packers. While watching his favorite teams he enjoyed his Mountain Dew and Canadian Club. Gerald also enjoyed reading and was partial to non-fiction novels with an interest in biographies of well known individuals. 

Gerald will be dearly missed by his loving mother Delores of Augusta; sister Nancy (Gary) Kromrey of Carpentersville, IL; nieces and nephew, Sarah (Scot) Wiedenfeld, Erica (Adnan) Khan and Cole Kromrey; great nephew and niece, Alex and Kayla Wiedenfeld; brother-in-law Richard Karow of Eau Claire; aunt Erna Knuth of Fall Creek; and long time close friends, Gary and Deb Hudson and their family.  

Gerald was preceded in death by his father James on August 8, 2010; sisters, June Starck on April 18, 2022, Shirley Karow on February 22, 2023; and niece Lisa (Karow) Stallings on June 21, 2017.  
As requested by Gerald no formal services are being planned. Burial will be in the Bethlehem Lutheran Cemetery, rural Fall Creek.  

The family would like to thank Gerald’s physicians and their staff and the staff of St. Croix Hospice for the care provided him during this time.
