Peter S. Ansay

We unexpectedly lost our rock, Peter Steven Ansay, age 56 of Madison, Wisconsin on March 7, 2024.

Pete is survived by his long-time partner of 19 years, Brenda Kirschbaum; his parents, Paul and Sarah Ansay; his sisters, Natalie (Paul) DeCarlo and Susan Ansay; his stepchildren, Stephanie (Cary) Lawson and Michael (Chloe) Groom; and 10 grandchildren.

Pete grew up in Verona, Wisconsin and had a great childhood with a dream of being a kicker on a football team. He traveled with his family and enjoyed playing video games. He had a passion for automobiles and all things with 4 wheels. Pete went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in engineering at the University of Wisconsin Platteville. Pete’s jobs took him to many unique places in the world. He was an entrepreneur at heart, owning his own video store at one time. Most recently Pete worked as an auditor for the State of Wisconsin. He was devoted to his job and worked hard toward his goal of retirement and owning a classic red Porsche sports car. In his free time, Pete enjoyed working on cars, going to car shows and craft fairs and taking long walks with Brenda.

Pete was a loving and devoted partner to Brenda who he met at Ho-Chunk Casino while playing Blackjack. Both have been Pete’s passion since that first meeting. He enjoyed cheering on the Badgers and Packers and especially enjoyed watching his grandchildren play sports.

Pete was extremely compassionate and loyal to all. He was always ready with a listening ear, sound advice and a reassurance that everything will be fine, fine, fine.

Pete had a silly side. He took pleasure in a practical joke, had a quick wit and fun sense of humor. His laugh was infectious. It often started with a grin, followed by a giggle and crescendo to a cackle making us all laugh even more!

Pete’s unexpected passing has left a void in the hearts of all that knew him. He is loved deeply, will be deeply missed, and fondly remembered for his kindness and compassion. Pete has left us and this life on earth way too soon. May Pete speed off into the sunset in his red sports car with a reassuring wave and a grin as he finds his final peaceful rest. We love you past the moon and miss you beyond the stars.

In honor of Pete’s request, there will be no funeral services. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
