Bret Anthony Sbarbaro, 62 of Norridge, IL, joined our Heavenly Father unexpectedly on Feb 18, 2021.Bret is survived by his beloved fiance Christine A. Murphy, two daughters Coral Berry (Steve) and Tracy Wallner (Jared), four grandchildren Eliana Leon, Noah Berry, Rebekah Berry, and Jayce Wallner, both parents Ronald and Carole (nee Kloeckner) Sbarbaro, three brothers Ronald Sbarbaro (Liz), Steve Sbarbaro (Jenny), and Jeff Sbarbaro (Pam), four nephews Matthew Sbarbaro, Scott Sbarbaro, Robert Martin, and Stevie Sbarbaro, three nieces Susie Henson (Patrick), Samantha Martin, and Alexis Sbarbaro, as well as cousins, aunts, and uncles. Bret was the second son of four born to Ron and Carole. Bret and his brothers were very close, always making sure to stay in contact despite living in different states. Bret was always a comedian, even from an early age. He was a goofball who's biggest joy was making the people around him smile. He was the absolute best at telling dad jokes, so much so that the term may have originated from him. His entertaining ways led him to perform magic and rock on his guitar. He seemed to be talented in anything he pursued. At Ridgewood High School, he excelled in wrestling and even broke a few records. After school Bret joined the Navy and traveled around the world. In the Navy, Bret was trained in maintenance which he used throughout the rest of his life working for many years at Automatic Appliance. Bret left the Navy and settled back into the Chicago area where he met Kay. Bret and Kay were married and had two beautiful daughters. Bret spent his later years taking pictures, fishing, and spending time with family and with his fiance of 28 years Chrissy.

To know Bret was to love him. He had the biggest heart and it was a heart of gold. He will be missed beyond measure. No service is being held at this time.
