Obituary of Chicago Kukec

Robert Henry Kukec, Jr., affectionately known as Chicago, passed away on July 25, 2021. He was born on February 16, 1975 in Chicago, Illinois. Chicago moved to Lake Havasu City in 2006. In 2007, he met his girlfriend, Jennifer Ross and her daughter Rylee. They spent 14 years together as a family and Chicago became a Dad to Rylee, one that he never had to be but she could not have been luckier. Chicago loved football, bowling and his dogs; especially his Great Dane, Piper. He was the biggest Bears fan. He would dress in his Bear’s gear from head to toe and watched every game with Piper by his side. He enjoyed his weekly bowling league and all the friends he made there. He loved his families in Havasu, Seattle and Chicago. He was taken too soon and will be missed forever. Chicago was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Mary Kukec. He is survived by his long time girlfriend Jennifer Ross, his daughter Rylee, Grandmother Halina Janus, and siblings John Kukec, Lillian Dela Cruz, Henry Kukec, and Halina Kukec. Chicago had many nieces and nephews that he loved dearly. Funeral services will be held at Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home on Saturday, August 7th at 2PM. A celebration of life will follow the service.
