Gene

January 4, 1957 — November 5, 2023

Eugene "Gene" Zakrzewski, beloved father and dedicated artist, passed away in his hometown of Milwaukee, WI on November 5, 2023. Born to the late Richard and Helen Zakrzewski on January 4, 1957, Gene grew up alongside his siblings the late Richard (Barbara), Robert (Minnie), the late Helen (Kenneth) Ponec, Judy Krygier, and John (Nancy). His loving daughter, Lydia, survives him as well as many nieces and nephews.


Gene graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design - MIAD applying his skills as a Draftsman Project Manager for General Electric. Gifted in the Art of Silk Screening, his works were recognized for their unique touch.


Pablo Picasso said, "The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." This was a creed Gene lived by, finding solace and meaning in the delicate beauty of art. His passion for life, vibrant artwork, and deep love for his family will be his lasting legacy.
