BROCK ALVIN “BUBSY” BUCHOLZ

Brock Alvin “Bubsy” Bucholz passed away tragically from a farm accident on his family’s farm Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2024, at the age of 13 years, 9 months, and 19 days. 

He was born Dec. 4, 2010, to Kirk and Stacy (O’Neill) Bucholz of Shamrock, Pine Hill area, and was a brother to Shane and Chase Bucholz. Brock attended the Black River Falls Middle School as an eighth-grader, where he participated in football, yearbook and shooting sports and was previously involved in Skills USA, wrestling and robotics. Brock was an outgoing kid that made friends everywhere he went and was always the life of the party. From a young age, he lived for all things farm and would happily spend his day in a tractor doing fieldwork that he loved. He enjoyed volunteering with his family, shooting trap and sporting clays with the BRF Shooting Tigers, was an avid reader, kayaking, hunting, four-wheeling, crafting with his mom and working in the shop with his dad. Some of his most memorable times were camping at his family’s campground, Clutchy Camp, where he was frequently involved in rabble-rousing and could always be found in the thick of chaos with his cousins.

Brock is survived by his beloved parents, Kirk and Stacy; his twin brother, Shane, and his younger brother, Chase; his uncle, Steve (Robin) Bucholz, aunt Rhonda (Ron) Charneski, aunt Laura (Sean) Marek, uncle Randy (Rita) O’Neill, aunt Lisa (Jeff) Brey, aunt Kay (Scott) Flock, and aunt Valerie (Beau) Leis. In addition, he was loved beyond measure by his many cousins, friends, neighbors, and family pets.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Robert and Patricia Bucholz and Donna McIntosh; maternal grandparents Roger and Madonna O’Neill; and Aunt Susan (Bucholz) Moore. 

The family would like to extend thanks to family, friends, neighbors, the school district of Black River Falls students and staff and the community for the outpouring of support, kind gestures, and comforting words during this difficult time. They’d like to express their sincere appreciation for the compassion shown and the efforts given by the Cataract First Responders and Black River Falls Fire Department and Black River Emergency Medical Service.

A celebration of life was held at the Bucholz Family Farm at N3068 Slegel Road in Black River Falls Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024, from 10 a.m. 12 p.m. Afterward, there was a private burial, and Brock will be laid to rest in the Shamrock Union Church Cemetery, where he will be surrounded by generations of grandparents. 

If you would like to honor Brock’s life, the family requests that in lieu of flowers/plants, memorials may be given to the family to be donated to the Cataract First Responders the Black River Falls Fire Department and Black River Emergency Medical Service.
