Dennis Kaminski, 60, of Sobieski, passed away peacefully on November 2, 2026, at his home. The son of Richard and MaryAnn (Zanchetti) Kaminski was born April 1, 1966.
Dennis was a 1984 graduate of Pulaski High School. Following graduation, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps on June 4, 1984, proudly serving his country until his honorable discharge on April 4, 1988. He later attended Lake Superior College, where he earned an associate degree in Entrepreneurship.
Dennis began his career with Northwest Airlines as an aircraft mechanic before starting his own business, Quality Mechanical Services (QMS), in 2005. On February 14, 2013, he married Synthia Bierbrauer. In 2017, the couple purchased the Patriot Golf Course in Abrams, which they owned and operated until 2023, all while Dennis continued running QMS. He welcomed the challenge of revitalizing the golf course and took pride in transforming it into a gathering place where members of the community could come together. They are also part owners of Riverside Golf Course in Clintonville.
Dennis loved staying active and pushing himself to new challenges. He especially enjoyed running ultramarathons, exploring the trails of the Superior Hiking Trail, and golfing. He was rarely one to sit still—always working on a project, helping someone, or planning his next adventure.
Giving back to his community was an important part of Dennis's life. He was a member of Pulaski American Legion Post 337 and served for several years on the Pulaski School Board. He also volunteered in the Pulaski School District, helping children develop their reading skills, and served as a mentor for the Challenge Academy.
Dennis had a genuine passion for helping others and giving back to the Pulaski community. He believed in supporting local businesses and fellow veterans and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. His generosity, willingness to serve, and commitment to his community were evident in the many ways he gave of his time and talents.
Above all, family was incredibly important to Dennis. He was a proud father to his four daughters and a papa to one granddaughter. Cassie, Lindsey, and Madelyn from his marriage to Laura (Gorecki) Kaminski, and Lily with his wife, Synthia. He cherished being involved in his children's lives, coaching their sports teams, and cheering them on in all their endeavors. He took great pride in supporting his family and being present for the moments that mattered most. His family was at the heart of everything he did.
Survivors include his loving wife, Synthia; four daughters: Cassie (Eric) Billups and their daughter, Ellery, Lindsey Kaminski, Madelyn Kaminski, and Lily Kaminski; his mother, MaryAnn Kaminski; four brothers: David Kaminski (partner, John), Doug Kaminski, Dan Kaminski (girlfriend, Marie), and Dale Kaminski; his two sisters: Donna (Brian) Pierquet, and Doreen (Steve) Dudek; mother-in-law, Nancy Bierbrauer; a brother-in-law, George Bierbrauer, III; a sister-in-law, Tracy Breen, and many nieces, nephews, and other family members.
Dennis was preceded in death by his father, Richard Kaminski; father-in-law, George Bierbauer, Jr.
A Celebration of Dennis’ Life will be held at The Barn at Sunset Acres, 451 N. St. Augustine, St., Pulaski, on Saturday, November 28, beginning at 2:00 p.m. Military Honors will be rendered by the Pulaski Area Veterans at 2:30 p.m. with a service and reception to follow.
