This one stings…..
As bartenders, we get to chat and joke with our customers, we hear about the good and bad days, and the stories of the good ole days. We hear about their families & friends and if we’re lucky enough we get to meet them! Sometimes in the middle of an ordinary work shift, our customers become our friends 🩵
We looked forward to John and Jo coming back from Texas every spring and missed them when they left. We loved hearing about the garlic adventures. John was a staple during the Packer games and he was a top “Barstool Fishing” contender.
Our thoughts are with Jo and family during this time and the days ahead. Thank you for sharing John with us!

You were one of the good ones friend! Your smile, charm, and wit will be deeply missed….

It is with heavy heart and sadness that we announce the passing of retired St. Croix County Sheriff John Shilts Sr. John suffered a medical emergency in Deer Park, WI on July 14. He was flown to the University of Minnesota. He died shortly after his arrival at the hospital.

Sheriff Shilts spent a lifetime in law enforcement, starting with the Somerset and New Richmond Police Departments, and moving on to the St. Croix County Sheriff’s Office in 1987. Over the next three decades with St. Croix County, he served in a variety of roles, including the drug task force, Emergency Response Unit, sergeant, captain, and chief deputy. John was elected sheriff in 2011 and was re-elected to a second term. On July 14, 2017, John retired after serving the citizens of St. Croix County for a combined 38 years.

John served with pride, integrity and a genuine commitment to the safety and well-being of others. His leadership, professionalism and larger than life presence helped shape the Sheriff’s Office and the people within it. His friendship, and his many contributions will not be forgotten.

Our hearts go out to his family during this incredibly difficult time. We recognize that his greatest legacy is not only his years of public service, but also the love and memories he leaves behind with those closest to him. We honor John’s life with gratitude for his years of service, respect for his character, and appreciation for the sacrifices he and his family made on behalf of the community. He will be missed, remembered, and forever regarded as a huge part of our St. Croix County family.
