Orion Storm Rusch, 28, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, November 11, 2024. Orion was born May 13, 1996, in Appleton to John Rusch and Jeni (Rougeux) Rusch. He graduated from Connections Academy and went on to attend heavy equipment school. Orion later changed his course to the paper printing industry and became a printing press operator. He was an Eagle Scout for many years and enjoyed playing video games to relax and unwind from a hard day's work. Orion transitioned smoothly into fatherhood and loved his girls dearly. He had a goofy and humorous side but was also stubborn. Orion was still able to extend love to his family and worked very hard to provide for them. He will be dearly missed.

Orion is survived by his parents; two daughters, Marilyn and Everly, and their mother, Samantha Behling; half-brother, Christoph (Danielle) Rougeux; maternal grandmother, Jeanie Klinker; and three cats, Snowball, Remi, and Muffin. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and friends.

Orion is preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, John Rougeux, Jr.; and paternal grandparents, Leon and Marcella Rusch.

A gathering of family and friends will be held from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm at Swedberg-Wendt Funeral Home in Bonduel on Saturday November 16, 2024.
