LODI - Stephen D. Brokish, age 70, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, May 24, 2022. He was born on Jan. 6, 1952, Richland Center, Wis., the son of Donald and Elizabeth (Lins) Brokish.

After graduating from Holy Name Seminary in 1970, Stephen attended Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, and earned his master’s degree in accounting from UW-Madison.

On May 29, 1983, he married Linda Schaffer in Glenview, Ill.

As a CPA, Stephen owned and operated Brokish Accounting Services, INC., until retiring in 2018.

He was an active member of the Lodi community, including Lodi Rotary. He was an avid supporter of Lodi athletics and was always a friendly face around town. He was a member of Blackhawk Church and loved attending his weekly Life Group gatherings.

Stephen had a variety of interests, including traveling worldwide with Linda, fishing, and enjoyed reading. He always had a smile and a joke for anyone he came across and was a kind and compassionate man to anyone he met on both professional and personal levels.

I was shocked and saddened to read of Steve's passing. I can't imagine your shock on his sudden passing. He was a good friend and accountant of our whole family. Terry always liked and respected Steve and so did Meagan and I. He was kind, down to earth, always gave good advice, and I bet he was a great husband and father. Your kids are sweethearts and so are you. I will be thinking and praying for your family in this time of your grieving. I have been through this regarding 4 deaths in 18 months and Covid isolation. One can move through this eventually smiling at every sweet memory. Good luck and God bless you.
