Rolek, Todd R. Announcement: A Quiet, Kind and Thoughtful man passed on recently. Todd Rolek, age 61, died May 18, 2018 at home in Rosemount, MN, after a long, brave battle with cancer. Todd is survived by his wife, Gerine Pongratz; his daughters, Erin and Tegan; his parents, Gary and Vivian, and brothers Timm, Tery and Troy. Todd was born in Oak Park IL. on June 18, 1956 to Gary and Vivian Rolek. He married Gerine Pongratz on January 23, 1985, graduated from Mankato State University, and worked as Associate Manager of Supply Chain at Best Buy's corporate office. Todd was a devoted father and accomplished jazz guitarist. He enjoyed distance running, sailing and dry-witted humor. He was a spiritual man, involved in many activities in his church. If a man's life is measured by his unremembered acts of love and kindness, then Todd's life was rich indeed, for he leaves behind an extended family that he blessed and countless people who called him friend. A funeral service is scheduled for 11 A.M. on Friday, May 25, 2018 at the Community of Hope Lutheran Church, 14401 Biscayne Avenue W, Rosemount, MN. Visitation at the Church from 9-11 A.M. Todd's wish was instead of flowers, perform an act of kindness.
