Steven Krupowicz Obituary

There is not a week that goes by that I don't think of you. In some respects, time moves very quickly. It is difficult to think you've been gone nearly 3 years. What you have left behind in your short years, excels what many have left in a long lifetime. I remember your laugh, your smile and the love you had for your Mom and Dad and the CPD. Talented, funny, amazing and a true friend. You were like my little brother and I love you forever bro.

Ken,
We met for the 1st time at Fr. Dan's Mass at Mercy Home on 27 Feb 2022. You were wearing your Vietnam cap and we spoke after I gave you a Vietnam service ribbon bar on behalf of your service to our grateful nation. I wanted to add yet another recognition to your son, Steve and further offer my condolences on your loss. The good Lord has graciously invited Steve into His open arms for his ultimate "Welcome Home.' May he Rest in Peace.

Kenny, My Brother, my heart is heavy for the Krupowicz family. I remember Steven from the many military picnics and Christmas parties. I do know that Steve was dearly loved by Kenny, Kathy and the E-Co. 106th Avn and B-935th Avn. I send my very deepest condolences.

Our deepest condolences RIP Steven

Our sincere condolences to Ken, Kathy, family and friends during this difficult time....

Ken:

Condolences on the passing of your son. I know he appreciated the countless hours of time and care you provided him. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.

Steve and I worked together at Founders Bank in marketing. We became fast friends. Steve loved his Mom and Gram. We were lucky enough to have Steve's Mom, Diane, make us delicious treats. We always heard about Diane's cooking and baking. Steve loved his Dad and was proud of the CPD. When I told Steve that my husband's uncle in Berlin, Germany was also a cop, he gave me a FOR patch to give to our uncle when we traveled to Germany. Our uncle sent Steve a medal from the Berlin PD. I want people to know how tremendously creative and talented Steve was as a graphic designer. I wrote the ads and Steve designed the graphics, even featuring his stepdad, Dean in an ad. I love you, Steve and thank God for your presence in my life. You taught me about courage in the face of adversity, the healing gift of laughter and the kindness that comes only to those who have experienced challenging times. Diane, I would love to talk with you at some point, I have so many great stories to share. I would be at the service, but I live in Florida now. Sending you love and peace and I will share a picture that Steve gave to me.

Heartfelt and prayerful condolences from the Chicago Police Chaplains. Steve will again be remembered at the Police Mass on Sunday, 12 JAN, 11:00 a.m. at Mercy Home for Boys and Girls (1140 W. Jackson Blvd.) In the meantime, may family and friends know the healing touch of our all-loving, all-merciful God! [Police Chaplains Ministry: www.ChicagoPCM.org or 312/738-7588]
