Craig Mark Brzezinski

Craig Mark Brzezinski, 53, died September 5, 2022 at his home.

He was born February 15, 1969 in Wausau, son of the late Henry and Dorothy (Dombrowski) Brzezinski.

Craig was a 1987 graduate of Wausau East High School, and a 1995 graduate of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science. He went on to attend law school at the U of M-Twin Cities.

He worked in restaurant management for many years in Brainerd, Minn. and the Twin Cities. Most recently, he was employed at 2510 Restaurant in Wausau.

Craig loved nature. He looked forward to camping trips to northern Minnesota, always in search of the best fishing spots with old friends. He also loved video gaming with his nephews and nieces and playing board games, especially Civilization. You could count on Craig to be a fountain of knowledge when it came to the latest national or international news. He had a wry sense of humor that all of his siblings will miss.
