It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of CJ Dvorak, a beloved husband, father, son, and friend, who tragically lost his life in an accident on September 17, 2025. CJ was a resident of Lewiston, Minnesota, and a native of Winona.
CJ was a devoted husband to his wife, Samantha Dvorak, and a proud, loving father to their three beautiful children — Drake, Adeline, and Millie. Married in 2019, CJ and Samantha built a life grounded in family, love, and togetherness. Their home was filled with laughter, joy, and memories that will forever be cherished.
Known for his loud and boisterous personality, CJ had a way of bringing people together wherever he went. He treasured spending time at home with Samantha and their children, sharing his love for hunting with Drake, working in the shop with his father-in-law, Pete, and showering his daughters with love as his little princesses. To CJ, family was everything, and he lived every moment with them to the fullest.
With CJ’s sudden passing, Samantha now faces the heartbreaking challenge of raising their young children while also navigating the financial burdens that come with such an unexpected loss. As a stay-at-home mom, the loss of CJ’s income has left the family in urgent need of help with living expenses, funeral costs, and unforeseen bills.
Friends, family, and community support will make a meaningful difference during this incredibly difficult time. A GoFundMe has been created to help Samantha, Drake, Adeline, and Millie as they face the days ahead and work to find stability after this unimaginable loss.
