JAN ROLAND BARTHELEMY

Jan Roland Barthelemy, age 71, passed away unexpectedly on October 24, 2026, leaving behind a family and countless friends who loved him and already miss him dearly.

A visitation will be held on Thursday, October 29, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Miller-Carlin Funeral Home in St. Cloud. A second visitation will take place on Friday, October 30, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in St. Cloud, followed by a Catholic Mass at 11:00 a.m. and lunch afterward.

Jan was born on February 5, 1955, in St. Cloud, Minnesota, to Roland and Delphine Barthelemy. Throughout his life, Jan was known for his strong work ethic, quick wit, generous heart, and deep love for his family. He had a way of bringing laughter wherever he went, and he never lost the playful spirit of a kid at heart. Whether he was sharing a story, getting into shenanigans, or finding a way to make an ordinary day more memorable, Jan knew how to enjoy life.

Jan spent much of his life in the granite industry, working in sales at Cold Spring Granite for many years before venturing out on his own to establish Clearwater Stone and Columbaria. Jan took pride in his work and had a talent for building things with his hands, turning ideas into something real. His determination, craftsmanship, and willingness to do things his own way were reflected in the business he built and the work he left behind. In more recent years, Jan eased into semi-retirement, giving himself more time to enjoy the things that mattered most. He had a lifelong love of hunting and enjoyed spending time outdoors, sharing those interests and the stories that came with them with family and friends.

Music was another constant in Jan’s life, especially classic rock. He had a knack for knowing the name of a song the moment it came on, as though every song was an old friend. His love of music was another reflection of his personality and the things that made him uniquely Jan. It was a passion that those who knew him will remember fondly, bringing to mind the songs, stories, and memories that will always be associated with him.

One of Jan’s favorite places was the family cabin, a place he built alongside his boys and filled with years of memories. The cabin was more than just a place to get away; it was a place to gather, spend time on the lake, slow down, and enjoy being together. Days were filled with time on the water, visits with family, stories from years gone by, and, of course, plenty of new shenanigans along the way. It was a place where Jan could let his playful side shine, enjoy the outdoors he loved, and make memories that his family will carry with them for years to come. Those simple moments, surrounded by the people he loved, were among life’s greatest gifts.

But perhaps one of Jan’s greatest joys in life was being Grandpa. In his later years, his grandchildren became the light of his life, bringing him a special kind of happiness that only a grandparent knows. He made childhood a little more magical in his own way, taking them on hay wagon rides, spoiling them with treats, teaching them things along the way, and having sleepouts together in the living room. Jan was never too old to be a kid himself, and his grandchildren got to experience that playful spirit firsthand. To him, these weren’t just ordinary moments; they were opportunities to make memories with the little people who held such a big piece of his heart. He loved making them happy, watching them grow, and being part of their little worlds. In return, they brought him a kind of happiness that was truly priceless. Though Jan’s time with them was cut far too short, with so many more memories to make and important life skills he still planned to teach them, his grandchildren will always carry a piece of their grandpa with them.

Above all, Jan was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He took great pride in his family and showed his love in countless ways, often without needing to say much at all. He will be remembered not only for the life he built with his hands, but for the laughter he shared, the adventures he brought others along on, and the memories he created simply by being himself. His absence leaves an immeasurable space in the lives of those who loved him, but the stories, laughter, and love he leaves behind will continue to bring his family together for years to come.

Jan is survived by his wife of 39 years, Linda; his children, Eric Moe, Chris (Bobbi-Jo) Barthelemy, Katherine (Jordan) Laudenbach, and Andrew (Stephanie) Barthelemy; and his dear nephew, Owen Jacobson. He also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren, Logan Moe, Gracelyn and Jameson Barthelemy, Clara and Karly Laudenbach, and Rynlee Barthelemy. He is also survived by his brothers, Mark, Brad, and Jeff Barthelemy; his sisters, Lisa (Harley) Rath and Roxanne Lehner; and many other extended family members and dear friends who will miss him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Roland and Delphine Barthelemy, and his daughter, Aubrey Barthelemy.

Jan’s legacy is not measured only in the years he lived or the work he accomplished, but in the family he loved, the things he built, the memories he created, and the generations who will carry a piece of him forward. His grandchildren will grow up hearing his stories, remembering their time with him, and knowing how deeply their grandpa loved them. Though he may no longer be here to share in future shenanigans, his spirit will live on in the laughter, music, stories, and memories he leaves behind.

Jan will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.

RALPH "DOC" GANZ D.V.M.

Ralph “Doc" Ganz passed away peacefully on October 11, 2026, at Quiet Oaks Hospice House, St. Cloud, MN, surrounded by his children. He was 99. A visitation will take place from 4:00 – 6:00 PM on Friday, October 23, 2026, at Miller-Carlin Funeral Homes in St. Cloud. Services will begin at 6:00 PM on Friday at the funeral home. Arrangements are entrusted to Miller-Carlin Funeral Homes.

Doc lived a life defined by independence, service, curiosity, and adventure. As a young man, he hitchhiked and rode freight cars extensively throughout the United States, working on farms, fishing boats, wheat harvests, ore boats, and building bridges along the way. His curiosity about people and places never diminished, and in later years he and his wife Donna traveled to Germany, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Brazil.

Education was one of his core values. A graduate of Swanville High School, he later became part of the first class of men admitted to Rockford College in Rockford, Illinois. In 1963, he earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Minnesota.

For 56 years, Doc practiced veterinary medicine with distinction, retiring at the age of 92. Known as an exceptional diagnostician, he cared for countless animals while educating farmers, mentoring future veterinarians, and inspiring young people through 4-H and community programs. His commitment to animal welfare extended beyond his clinic. He served as veterinarian for the Benton County Fair, helped establish the Tri-County Humane Society, and worked alongside law enforcement as a special sheriff's deputy investigating animal cruelty and neglect cases. He also served on the St. Cloud Board of Health and was a long-time member of the St. Cloud Granite Rotary.

The arts and nature were lifelong passions. He served on the St. Cloud Symphony Board, hosted gatherings featuring classical music, and enjoyed theater, museums, opera, ballet, and annual performances of A Christmas Carol. An avid hunter, fisherman, boater, and birdwatcher, he remained active outdoors well into his nineties.

Above all, Doc treasured his family and friends. He is survived by his three children, Jeffrey (Lyrae) Ganz, Rice, MN; Bethany (Douglas) Leonard, Pewaukee, WI; and Heather (John) Poduska, Wi******er, MA; his stepdaughters, Cheryl Pangrel, Spooner, WI; Laurie Haney (Tom), Pine City, MN; LuAnn Pangrel, Blaine, MN; and Chris Henschel (Dave), Laporte, MN, and 8 grandchildren.

Doc was preceded in death by his wife of 48 years, Donna Ganz, his parents, Herman and Johanna, his brothers, Carlisle, Lawrence, Norman “Bud”, Raymond, his sister, Alice Noren, and his half-sisters, Zelda (McKibbin) Sparks, Gladys (McKibbin) Gamil, Mary (Babe) McKibbin.

His legacy lives on through the animals he cared for, the organizations he helped build, the community he strengthened, and the generations he inspired.

We want to thank Quiet Oaks Hospice for the care they provided Doc. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Quiet Oaks Hospice.

ROSS FRANCIS LANDWEHR

Ross Landwehr, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away on October 14, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on March 31, 1959, in St. Cloud, MN, Ross was the beloved son of the late Bruno and Agnes (Hoag) Landwehr.

A service to honor Ross's life will be held on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Peter, located at 930 31st Avenue N, St. Cloud, MN 56303. Friends and family are invited to gather in celebration of a remarkable man who touched so many lives from 4:00 – 8:00 PM on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at Miller-Carlin Funeral Home, located at 3013 Roosevelt Rd, St. Cloud, MN 56301. Arrangements are entrusted to Miller-Carlin Funeral Homes.

Ross's life was a testament to dedication and love. He graduated from Tech High School and went on to serve his country with pride as a member of the United States Marine Corps. Upon returning home, Ross pursued a degree in auto body repair, a field he worked in briefly before finding his true calling as a machinist at DeZURIK, where he dedicated 36 years of his life.

On July 14, 1979, Ross married the love of his life, Donna Koopmeiners, at St. Peter's in St. Cloud. Together, they built their dream home in Clearwater, MN, and raised four wonderful children, instilling in them the values of hard work, kindness, and family. Ross and Donna's enduring love was a beacon of strength and joy, celebrating 46 years of marriage.

Ross was a man of many passions. An avid reader, he found solace in the pages of literature. He enjoyed art and drawing and absolutely loved to see anything his grandkids made. He also enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, such as playing cards, observing the beauty of nature, and most importantly, spending cherished moments with his grandchildren: Colton, Isabelle, Elizabeth, Courtney, Bentley, Brooklyn, Olivia, Wyatt, and Alexa who lovingly nicknamed him “Grampy Pants”. His gentle spirit and warm heart left an indelible mark on each of them.

Ross always had a project going from mowing the lawn, which was always a 3-5 day project, tinkering in the shop creating or resurrecting old equipment from the dead even if it meant spending way more than it would be worth.

He is survived by his loving wife, Donna Landwehr, and their children: Sarah (Jeremy) Shegrud, Jason (Ann) Landwehr, Eric (Savannah) Landwehr, and Brandon. Although his parents, Bruno and Agnes, have predeceased him, their legacy continues to live on through Ross and his family. Ross is also survived by his siblings, Phillip (JoAnne) Landwehr, Clayton (Marsha) Landwehr, David (Colleen) Landwehr, Eileen (Greg) Nelson, Miles (Deborah) Landwehr, Mark (Debbie) Landwehr, Barbara (Ken) Preusser, Ernest (Nancy) Landwehr, Yvonne (Mike) Leedahl, Karen (Dan) McCarl, and Jeff (Cheryl) Landwehr.

Ross was taken suddenly from this earth, but his spirit remains alive in the hearts of those who knew him.

Memorials are preferred in lieu of flowers

Ross will be deeply missed, but his legacy of love, strength, and kindness will forever remain a guiding light for those he leaves behind.
