Wick Buildings mourns the loss of visionary founder John F. Wick

Wick Buildings  - mourns the loss of visionary founder John F. Wick
January 13, 2025 at 10:00 a.m.

More than a founder, he helped establish a new segment of the construction industry.

It is with profound sadness that Wick Buildings announces the passing of our esteemed founder, John F. Wick, who left us on January 15, 2025, after 98 ½ years. John Wick was not only a trailblazer in the post-frame industry, but also a caring leader whose vision, innovation, and dedication shaped the company and his community, and inspired countless others.

John Wick founded Wick Buildings in 1954 with a mission to improve the lives of farmers by making buildings that were more efficient, allowing for increasing production. Through innovative engineering and design ideas, and unwavering commitment to excellence in materials and manufacturing, he built Wick Buildings into a leader in the post-frame industry serving a wide range of building needs.

“Beyond his professional accomplishments, John Wick will be remembered for his mentorship and dedication to empowering the next generation of innovators," stated Allan Breidenbach, President of Wick Buildings. “He leaves behind a company that will continue to honor his vision.”

“It is only fitting that Wick Buildings is in the process of building a new production and headquarters facility on Wick Drive in Mazomanie, utilizing a parcel of land in an industrial park that John Wick worked with local officials to establish,” added Breidenbach. “He was a strong supporter of the local community through development and building projects, and we are proud to continue that legacy.”

The Wick Buildings family extends our deepest condolences to John Wick’s loved ones and all who were impacted by his extraordinary life.

In continuous operations since 1954 and with over 79,000 buildings completed, Wick Buildings provides post-frame structures for agricultural, dairy, equine, residential, personal storage, municipal, commercial and light industrial markets. Wick Buildings are sold by independent builders, and built by independent builders and Wick crews who live and work in their local communities.
