Scott D. Fricke, age 65, a resident of Manitowoc, passed away peacefully with family by his side on Monday, April 29, 2024 at Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice in Sheboygan Falls following a long battle with cancer.

Scott was born on August 31, 1958 in Manitowoc to the late Roy and Lorraine (Gehrig) Fricke.  He graduated from Roncalli High School with the class of 1976.  Scott continued his education by graduating from Lakeshore Technical College and Fox Valley Technical College. He had worked at Kohler Company and American Foods.  While Scott was an avid golfer, he enjoyed all sports.  On the flip side, he totally hated birds.  But above all, Scott enjoyed spending time with his family and friends – especially his grandchildren, Tristan and McKenna.

Survivors include Scott's partner and the love of his life, Mary Kiel; daughter, Morgan Fricke, and her significant other, Sawyer Hungerford; two bonus daughters, Miranda (Ryan) Wagner and Brooke (Scott) Bastian; two grandchildren, Tristan and McKenna; three siblings, Kathie Fricke, Charles "Chip" Fricke, and Bob Fricke; his fur baby, Benji; also other family and friends.  Scott was preceded in death by his parents, Roy and Lorraine Fricke; and his first fur baby, Gracie.

A Life Celebration Social for family and friends will be held on Sunday, May 5, 2024 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Harrigan Parkside Gathering Center, 620 North Water Street, Manitowoc, located on the south property of the Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home.  Cremation has taken place at the Harrigan Parkside Crematory and Chapel.  Online condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.harriganparksidefuneralhome.com

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate memorials in Scott's name that will be used to benefit organizations that were important to him.

Scott's family would like to extend their thanks and appreciation to the staff of Sharon S. Richardson Hospice and Aurora Medical Center for all of the care and compassion they provided.

Scott was a very loving partner, father, grandfather and brother that will be dearly missed.
