Kenneth Skisak, 69, of Brookfield, formerly of LaGrange Park, died on April 24, 2024. He was full of life and a bright light in any room. He loved his children and grandchildren more than anything else. He worked hard his whole life as a warehouse manager, then as a delivery driver in later years. He took time to laugh and enjoy the simple things in life like catching up on old reruns and watching a thunderstorm from the garage. His relationship with God was an inspiration and helped others strengthen their faith. Bringing peace on earth was his lifelong goal.
Ken was the father of Lindsay (Justin) Pezen, Haley (Matthew) Jurjovec, and Dan Skisak; the grandfather of Theodore Pezen, Sonja Pezen and Wesley Jurjovec; the brother of Larry (Linda) Skisak, Chris Skisak and Barbara (Gary) Jacklin; and the uncle of many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Frank Skisak and Rose Marie Skisak (nee Spale).
