Jason Michael Saleska

Jason Michael Saleska, born on September 18, 1976, in Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on December 17, 2023, in West Bend, Wisconsin. He was a man whose laughter filled every room, whose presence was a comfort, and whose love for life was truly infectious. Jason's story is one of joy, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds of family.

Jason is lovingly survived by his children, Rachel Kyra Noelle, Donald Gust, and Sophia Valeria, who were the center of his universe. His commitment to being an exceptional father was evident in every aspect of his life. He shared a special bond with his former wife and friend, Amanda Kachikis, and together they nurtured a family founded on love and mutual respect. Jason was also a beloved pet dad to his faithful companion, Whiskers.

He leaves behind his mother, Janelle Abbott. His brothers, Adam and Jason, and his sister, Shauna, will fondly remember their brother's unwavering spirit and the countless memories they created together. He was a cherished uncle to Cassie, Jonny, Jasper, and Taelyn. Jason was preceded in death by his dad, Donald Pflieger, and his father, Michael Stanton.

Jason was an avid fan of Western movies. Disco music was the theme to his life, and his love for the genre was a testament to his vibrant personality. Jason cherished the simple pleasures in life, like taking leisurely drives to clear his mind and spending quality time at the "bachelor pad" with his kids, where laughter was always abundant.

Jason's sense of humor was his signature trait; it was rare to find him without a smile or a joke at the ready. He lived for his children, and his legacy is reflected in their strength, humor, and compassion. Content with life's twists and turns, Jason embraced every moment with an open heart. He was a lover of Newports and Old English.
