Peter John Kolodzienski, age 8, of Ellsworth, Wis. passed away unexpectedly on Dec. 14, 2022, at Hudson Hospital in Hudson, Wis. Peter was born on May 8, 2014, to Joshua and Elizabeth (Zachman) Kolodzienski in Hudson, Wis.
Peter was a beautiful soul, soft hearted and wonderfully caring. He loved to go ice fishing with his family, hunting with his Dad and dreaming of farming. Peter loved his family fiercely, especially his siblings Levi and Olivia. He loved being a big brother and caring for his siblings, riding with Levi on the bus, and giving Olivia piggyback rides. Peter was active in the local 4H, showed cattle in the Pierce County Fair, and played baseball and football for Ellsworth Elementary. Peter enjoyed going on family rides in the side by side, commenting on all the farms they drove past, reciting who owned them and what tractors they had. He also had a passion for John Deere tractors, specifically wanting a John Deere 4020. In his short time, he truly lived his life. He and his family packed in more life experiences and memories in his eight years, than most experience in a whole lifetime. Peter will be greatly missed by all those whose lives were touched by his kindness and love.
Peter is survived by his parents Joshua and Elizabeth, siblings: Levi and Olivia; maternal grandparents: Charlene and Jeremy Zachman; paternal grandparents: Diane and Tom Kolodzienski, Aunt and Uncles Mitch (Courtney) Zachman, Nick (Bethany) Zachman, Alex (Leah) Zachman, Jake (Kristen) Kolodzienski, Andrea (Erik) Altmann, Alysha (Kevin) Brenner, along with numerous cousins, relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by many loving family members that have gone before him.
