Dwayne L. "Dewey" Asbach

Dwayne Lee “Dewey” Asbach, age 46, passed away Friday, January 28, 2022, at Essentia Health-St. Mary’s Medical Center in Duluth, MN after succumbing to COVID-19 pneumonia while bravely undergoing treatment for Multiple Myeloma.

Dewey was born on September 16, 1975, in Ashland, WI where he spent childhood exploring the woods which developed into a lifelong appreciation of and love for the beauty and nuance of nature. He enjoyed camping, running, biking, walking, cross fit, participated in half-marathons, 5k and dragon boat races, and loved to travel. Dewey was intellectually curious and had an insatiable appetite for learning new things. He continually challenged himself and earned himself the childhood nickname "The Answer Man" engaging anyone in a (one-sided) debate with a twinkle in his eyes.

Dewey graduated from Ashland High School in 1994 earning dual bachelor’s degrees in both English and Communications from the University of Minnesota-Duluth in 1998. He worked briefly in local radio eventually landing at Amsoil, Inc in 2000 where he remained more than 20 years, his most recent role as Internet Services Manager. Dewey was a small business owner of Bent Tent Productions & Events developing and designing websites for local and international clients. He actively served the community as president of NoteWorthy Kids, as a founder and volunteer for Superior Spooktacular, a member of The Owls Club and Elks Lodge and was a regular blood donor.

Dewey met the love of his life, Sarah Eisenmann in 2007 in Superior, WI. They were married on December 31, 2011 and had just recently celebrated their 10th anniversary. Their years together were filled with love, laughter, and adventures.

Dewey is survived by his wife, Sarah (Eisenmann) Asbach, stepdaughter Paige Wedan both of Superior, WI; parents, Dennis and Jane (Lajcak) Asbach, sister, Mary Asbach all of Ashland, WI; brother, Nick Asbach of Superior, WI; father and mother-in-law, Charles and Laura (Sapik) Eisenmann of Superior, WI; sister-in-law, Kerri (Kasey) Reed, nephew Wyatt Reed, nieces Faran and Vivian Reed all of Foxboro, WI; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends; and his favorite feline buddy, Simba. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Harold and Vera Asbach, and Andrew and Rose Lajcak.

Visitation will begin at 10:00 AM, Thursday, February 10, 2022, at Cathedral of Christ the King Catholic Church, 1111 Belknap Street, Superior, and will continue until the 11:00 AM Memorial Mass of Christian Burial with Rev. Fr. Andrew Ricci as celebrant.

Burial will be in St. Francis Cemetery at a later date.
