Gary Bednar age 60, passed away peacefully, October 5th 2019 in his home in Fox Lake after a long battle with lung cancer.
Mr. Bednar was born on April 27th in 1959 to George C. Bednar and Caroline Bree. He gained a two year degree from Truman College in Illinois and had a successful career as a small business owner and car mechanic. He was a devoted husband of 24 years to Lora Williams-Bednar. Gary was eager to help anyone at any time and as a result, impacted a lot of lives for the better. His family knew him as a vehicle enthusiast who enjoyed road trips in his truck and motorcycle.
Those who knew Gary know he avoided placing any financial burdens on another and would rather give than to receive. No funeral services will be held; to honor Gary's character, we ask that all who wish to participate make a donation to lung cancer research in his name.
He is survived by his mother Caroline Bednar, his former wife Lora Williams, children Stephanie Bednar, Kimberly Schumacher, Gary Bednar Jr. and Jason Jeske, his brothers George Bednar, Greg Bednar, his sisters Gale Keefe and Gloria Warren.
