Obituary


John Dynkowski, 73, of Whitewater, Wisconsin, passed away on September 1, 2024, surrounded by his loving family.

John leaves behind a wife of 46 years, Nancy Dynkowski (nee Furlong), children Beth (Peter) Baker and Michael (Margaret) Dynkowski.  He was also a proud Poppa to his granddaughter, Julianne and grand-dog, Lou. He is also survived by his twin brother, James and many other family members.

He was preceded in death by his father, Chester Dynkowski, his mother Josephine Dynkowski, and brother, Robert Dowey. John was born on August 31, 1951, in Chicago and grew up on the Northwest side on Moody Ave. He pursued his studies at Illinois State University and later earned his MBA from Illinois Benedictine University. He had a successful 40+ year career in IT in various roles and companies.

John met his wife, Nancy, through a setup from mutual friends and they were married on July 15, 1978. Shortly after they moved to Naperville, Illinois and raised their children in the Brookdale subdivision, where they met many of their lifelong friends. After retirement, they moved to Whitewater, Wisconsin and immersed themselves in “lake life”. The lake was John’s happy place, and you could always find him putzing around outside, helping neighbors or cruising around the lake. John loved spending time with his friends and family and took great pride in maintaining relationships that spanned all eras of his life. John kept himself busy with projects, as well as serving as “Dad the Handy Man” for his children. He also loved traveling, especially visiting National Parks and road tripping with their camper. John’s legacy of love and dedication to his family and friends will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him.

A celebration of life will be held at Mickey Finn’s Brewery (Libertyville, Illinois), on Sunday, September 8th with visitation hours 12-2pm and a short ceremony to follow.

Arrangements entrusted to Hitzeman Funeral Home & Cremation Services 9445 31st Street, Brookfield, IL 60513.

love, support, and condolences during this difficult time.
