Kenneth Heitman
A funeral service to honor and celebrate Kenneth’s life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, February 7, 2025, at St. John Lutheran Church in Quincy Township, with Rev. Dean Dummer officiating. Interment will follow at Quincy Cemetery. Family and friends are invited to gather for visitation at the Church on Friday, February 7th, from 9:00 a.m. until the time of service.
Kenneth was born on January 23, 1928, in Quincy Township, Adams County, Wisconsin, to Charles and Katherine A. (Schroeder) Heitman, the youngest of 14 children. He attended White Creek Elementary and graduated from Adams-Friendship High School before continuing his education at UW-Madison. A dedicated and hardworking man, Kenneth played a role in constructing the Castle Rock and Petenwell Dams and spent his life maintaining a farm in Quincy. However, his true passion was carpentry. His craftsmanship left a lasting impact throughout Dane County and beyond, contributing to numerous residential, commercial, and state projects.
Kenneth found joy in the simple yet meaningful aspects of life—hunting, working in his workshop, and lending a helping hand at church. A devoted member of St. John Lutheran Church and the Wood Carpenters Union, he was a man of faith, integrity, and quiet generosity.
Memorials in Kenneth’s memory may be directed to St. John Lutheran Church.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Katherine Heitman; his brothers Albert, Adolph, Charles, Alfred, Edward, Ervin “Jim,” and Arnold; and his sisters Esther Freeck, Alvina Mikoda, Ruth Pease, Clara Heitman, Dorothy Wood, and Katherine Barich.
Kenneth leaves behind a cherished legacy and is survived by many loving nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

Condolences From our family, and joyous celebration of a life well-lived. Kenneth’s generous contributions to the community and his family will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace.
To all of the Heitman relatives, Kenny was a one of a kind man, his ability to build anything, his giving to all that wanted to learn the carpentry trade. Kenny could run any difficult commercial building project and help a neighbor build a barn. The friendliest person I ever knew. He touched so many lives in all of his years, and he will be doing that in heaven. RIP Kenny, we will all miss you.
RIP, Uncle Kenneth,,, such a kind soul….finally eternal rest.
