In Loving Memory of Paul and Paulette Rewitzer

HANSKA — A community is mourning the loss of two Hanska residents, Paul Rewitzer, 73, and Paulette Rewitzer, 74, who lost their lives in a tragic two-vehicle crash early Saturday morning.

The heartbreaking collision occurred shortly after midnight on Brown County Road 13, just north of Brown County Road 22. The Brown County Sheriff’s Office received a report of the serious crash and quickly dispatched deputies to the scene.

When Brown County Deputy Erik Byro arrived, he discovered two heavily damaged vehicles—a Chevy Silverado and an Oldsmobile. The severity of the collision immediately made clear that this was a devastating incident.

The driver of the Silverado, identified as 28-year-old Shianne Lee Escobar of Hanska, was found standing outside the Oldsmobile when Deputy Byro arrived.

Inside the Oldsmobile, deputies located two occupants who were later identified as Paul Rewitzer, 73, and Paulette Rewitzer, 74. Tragically, both Paul and Paulette had died as a result of the crash.

Their deaths have left family members, friends and others in the Hanska community grieving the sudden loss of two lives. Paul and Paulette shared decades of life, memories and experiences, and their absence will undoubtedly be deeply felt by those who knew and loved them.

A fatal crash is more than a moment on a roadway. For the families involved, it becomes a life-changing loss that can never simply be measured by an accident report. Behind the names are people who were loved, valued and remembered for the moments they shared with others.

The crash investigation remains an important part of understanding what happened that night. According to the information provided, Escobar is facing two counts of vehicular homicide in connection with the deaths.

As authorities continue their investigation, the thoughts of the community are with the families and loved ones of Paul and Paulette Rewitzer during this incredibly difficult time.

Paul and Paulette, may you both be remembered not only for the tragic circumstances surrounding your passing, but for the lives you touched, the memories you created and the love you shared with those around you.

May your family and friends find strength in one another and comfort in the memories that remain.
