WAUPACA COUNTY — It's been three days since a home off County Highway T in the Town of Lebanon exploded. One man, Mark Zielke, was found dead in the explosion.

"I don't wish this upon anyone," said Gwinette Zielke, Mark's wife.

Mark was described as a caring guy who would do anything for his family. He built the home 42 years ago. Mark and Gwinette hosted holiday gatherings, family reunions and Sunday family dinners. All that is left now are memories.

"It's memories the grandchildren wont get to live through," Zielke said.

Gwinette lost everything in the explosion. The family is asking for help from anyone.

You can donate money at any Community First Bank. You need to use member number 12005592 to donate. The family is also asking for gift cards to help buy new clothes.
