STOUGHTON - Rodney Wayne Trunzo, 78, of Stoughton, Wis., passed away on April 11, 2025, in Stoughton.

Rod was born in New Eagle, Pa., on September 2, 1946, to James and June Trunzo. He attended Monongahela High School before enlisting in the U.S. Air Force, where he was stationed at Truax Field in Madison, Wis. Following four years of service, he began his career at Wisconsin Bell, Inc. After retiring from the phone company, he continued to work at Christ Lutheran Church for several years, officially retiring in 2020.

Rod loved spending time in his shop as an avid woodworker. He also enjoyed puzzles, working in his yard and garden, and was a devoted fan of western and war movies. A creature of habit, he found comfort and joy in his daily routines.

Rod is survived by his beloved wife of 57 years, Linda (maiden name Aslakson); his children, Shelly (Glen) Beyers, Mike (Mary) Trunzo and Sara (Doug) Johnson. He was proud grandfather to Camryn and Reece Beyers, Jack and Maya Trunzo, and Hailey and Hannah Johnson; and brother to Patty Sangermano. He was preceded in death by his parents, James and June Trunzo.

Rod will be remembered with a visitation at CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH, 700 County Highway B, Stoughton, from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, followed by a memorial service at 11 a.m. A luncheon will follow the service at church.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the family, who will forward contributions to charities that held a special meaning to Rod.
