William Brensinger, 90

William "Bill" Brensinger, 90, passed peacefully on Sept. 7, 2023. He was born in 1932, in Schuykill Haven Pennsylvania where his parents Vesta and William Brensinger raised a family of five on a small farm.

He lived with his parents until he entered the Navy in 1952 where he served our country in the Korean War.

After two tours and nearly 11 years of service he was honorably discharged in May of 1963 and moved to Casper, Wyoming.

He later moved to Kalispell, where he would call home for the remainder of his life. It’s here where he met his late wife Diana and they shared a wonderful marriage for over 25 years until a battle with cancer took her life.

He loved the outdoors and his fondest memories were hunting, fishing and camping with his family and friends. He enjoyed sports and was a devoted Duke Blue Devils basketball fan along with a passionate Braves baseball fan. He rarely missed a game that spanned four decades.

He was an avid cook and enjoyed cooking for large events and was always the chef at family reunions. His crab feeds and full beef or pig barbeques were always must attend events.

His greatest joy was his family. He would visit South Carolina each year for weeks at a time where he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and fishing with his son.

He had a sharp mind until he passed and never forgot a birthday, anniversary or major milestones of his loved ones. He never met a stranger and will be greatly missed by all that knew him. The smiles and laughter he brought to so many can only be replaced with the memories we cherish.

He was preceded in death by his parents; beloved wife, Diana; daughter, Rhonda; sisters, Grace and Kathrine; and brother, Raymond.

He is survived by his sister, May of Pottsville, Pennsylvania; son, Richy and Elyse; grandchildren, Lexi, Ashlyn, and Breanna of Lexington, South Carolina; stepson, Ray Schneider of Great Falls, Cathy and Don Morton, Tyler and Jesse Comstock of Kalispell, Kevin Brensinger who is deployed in the military, Matthew Rodriguez of Deerlodge, and Bystol Rodriguez of California; along with several great-grandchildren.

There will be a small family graveside service held at a later date. Arrangements are under the care of Johnson-Gloschat Funeral Home.
