Kyle L. Koetz

Kyle L. Koetz, age 44, at rest on Friday, September 25, 2015 surrounded by his loving family and friends.

Kyle is survived by his beloved wife of 21 years, Jennifer (nee Luce); loving children, Zachary (Rebecca) and Jonathon Koetz; loving brothers, Scott (Penny) and Treven (Betsy); loving father-in-law and mother-in-law, Ron and Mary Lynn (nee Hercegovics) Wilkinson; dear brothers-in-law, Frank (Ann) Luce and Roger (the late Kimberly) Baker; dear sister-in-law, Michelle (Mark) Robinson; as well as numerous loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Kyle was employed for 21 years at Arbor Mills (Joliet Cabinet) and six years at Our Lady of Angels Nursing Home. Kyle simply enjoyed work. It was something that kept him energized during his life and his illness. He enjoyed disc golfing, wood working, and shed hunting. Most of all, Kyle loved his life and all of the people in it.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Suh at JOHA as well as all of the nurses at Presence St. Joseph Medical Center and Joliet Area Community Hospice who provided excellent care to Kyle. A special thanks to Daryl DelSasso and the employees of Joliet Cabinet for their support and kindness.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to H.U.G.S. of Shorewood or Joliet Area Community Hospice.
