It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Christopher Michael Koderca, age 48, of Racine, WI. Chris entered the gates of Heaven on March 24th, 2025.
Chris was born on February 15th, 1977, to Colleen (Sorensen) Koderca and Daniel Koderca Sr. He was born and raised in the city of Kenosha and was educated in the schools of Kenosha.
Chris was a beloved son, father, brother, nephew and cousin who will be dearly missed by those he knew and loved. Chris was a good friend to many, an asset to his family, a great musician, a big jokester, but most of all he was ours to love!
Chris loved playing his music and was an accomplished guitarist with different bands. He loved his bass whether it was in his car, boat or on his motorcycle.
He bumped his tunes wherever he went. He was extremely talented at repairing cars, motorcycles and was an all-around handyman who could fix just about anything he could get his hands on. Chris enjoyed learning how things operated, and he took great pride in his work.
Chris was always willing to help those in need whenever the opportunity arose.
Spending time with his family was something he always looked forward to and loved doing. Above all things, Chris treasured every special moment he spent with his children, Trent and Elliott, whom he lovingly adored.
Chris leaves behind a loving family to cherish his memory, his loving mother Colleen Koderca, his father Daniel Koderca Sr., his best friend and brother Daniel Koderca Jr., his children who meant the world to him, Trent and Elliott, aunts: Kathy (Rene), Laurie, Maureen, Lisa, Kathy and Sandra, uncles: Tim, Sean, Rene, Patrick and Frank (Debra), cousins: Adam (Jackie), Ryan (Alison), Chad (Karina), Rachel, Bailey, Thorin, Ryan, Christine, Kimberly and Kevin.
Chris was preceded in death by his grandparents, Donna Sorensen who loved Chris beyond words, Louis Sorensen, Florence Koderca and Frank Koderca.
Rest peacefully until we meet again…
We love and miss you, “Topher”.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, April 12th, 2025, from 1 to 4 P.M. at the Fireside Restaurant in Kenosha, WI (2801 30th Ave).
Speak of me as you have always done,
Remember the good times, laughter and fun.
Share the happy memories we’ve made,
Do not let them wither or fade.
I’ll be with you in the summer’s sun,
And when the winter’s chill has come.
I’ll be the voice that whispers in the breeze,
I’m peaceful now, put your mind at ease.
I’ve rested my eyes and gone to sleep,
But memories we’ve shared, are yours to keep.
Sometimes our final days, may be a test,
But remember me, when I was at my best.
Although things may not be the same,
Don’t be afraid to use my name.
Let your sorrow last for just a while,
Comfort each other and try to smile.

Chris,
We think of you in silence and make no outward show, for what it meant to lose you only those who loved you know!
Love & Miss You,
Aunt Kathy & Uncle Rene
* says:
Chris now walks amongst the angels…
Wherever a beautiful soul has been
There is a trail of beautiful memories.
* says:
A nephew’s eyes are gone forever
His smile, his laugh, his face,
Where once he stood before us
A lone picture takes his place.
Gone to soon, a man so young
From here, your place of birth,
We can’t believe, that this is real
That you no longer walk this earth.
Reality is, we know it’s true
But still we can’t believe,
A man so young, with so much life
Really had to leave.
We loved you from your time of birth
We watched you grow and learn,
Our nephew, we shall meet again
When it’s our time, to return.
Miss You,
Kathy, René, Laurie,
Maureen, Tim, Sean
Adam says:
Woke up to the sky bumping this morning. That tells me all I need to know!
Love your melon grinder cousin
Dean Shefchik says:
Even in the face of death, we can find inspiration in the enduring power of love, the beauty of memories, and the understanding that life’s journey continues beyond our earthly form.
Colleen says:
Chris,
Every time I look at the stars
I know that’s where you’ll be
Shining like you always do
And watching over me
Although the pain I’m feeling
Is with me every day
The love you left inside my heart
Will never go away
Life goes on without you
But it will never be the same
And if I had my time once more
I’d do it all again
So when my days are darkest
And I just can’t see the light
I’ll look up at the brightest star
And you’ll be shining bright.
I’ll Love You Forever,
Mom
Missing You With Every Beat Of My Broken Heart!

We will always keep talking about you…
You deserve to be remembered!

God called your name so softly,
That only you could hear
And no one heard the footsteps,
Of angels drawing near.
The golden gates stood open,
God knew you needed rest
His garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best.
Rest peacefully sweet nephew until we meet again.
Rene says:
Chris,
You will always stay loved and remembered
every day in my heart.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Miss You,

Life Without Chris…
The hardest thing I’ve ever had to hear

Live every day since that moment.

Patrick says:
In Memory Of Chris
In this Garden we call life
a special Rose did grow
surrounded by his loving friends
his dreams we came to know.
But all too soon this flower was plucked
by God’s gentle hand
suddenly taken away from us
and replanted in the Promised Land.
Now the Garden mourns the empty spot
his leaving caused great pain
but even though this Rose is gone
his fragrance will forever remain.
PLS 05/2025
* says:
Having a nephew in Heaven
changes everything! 😇 💔
We Miss You,
Kathy, René, Laurie, Maureen, Lisa,
Patrick, Tim, Sean
* says:
Until memory fades and life departs,
You will live forever in our hearts. 💔
Kathy says:
Can you hear us God?
Can you feel our pain?
Can you mend our broken hearts?
Life just hasn’t been the same.
Do you hear us cry?
Do you hear us question why,
Such a precious loving nephew
Had to leave this world and die?
Will you help to ease our sorrow?
Will you lessen this pain tomorrow?
Will you help us understand,
When no one else can?
Can you hear us God???
Colleen says:
In Loving Memory Of My Son… 💔
He was not just a son,
He was the smile on my face,
He was the sunshine in my day,
He was the sparkle in my eye,
He was the joy in my life,
He was the love in my heart,
He was the happy in my home,
But most of all, he was mine!
I Love & Miss You,
Mom
* says:
Chris,
We know you’re somewhere special
Where you are free from pain,
But that doesn’t stop the heartache
And our tears still fall like rain.
Miss You,
Your Family
Colleen says:
It’s hard to love someone
with all your heart,
And then one day be forced
to live without them.
I Love & Miss You,
Mom
Kathy says:
Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone,
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on…
Missing You Always,
Your Family

I miss you still, so very much
and when I see the stars that shine,
I think of you dear Christopher

You’re not that far away,
Our hearts are full of memories
And you’re with us every day.
Miss You,
Your Family
