John Fennessy Obituary
He was born Jan. 14, 1990.
He was loved by many and is survived by his mother, Frances (Kris); sister, Ashley; brother, Kyle; a young son, Levi Killian; numerous aunts, uncles and cousins; and as someone posted on Facebook, a friend base longer than the Illinois rules of the road. We will miss his gentle soul and his little boy charm. He always was there when you needed him and was a son his mother was very proud of.
A memorial service will be at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, at 609 S. Hubbard St., Algonquin.
In lieu of flowers, donations to help cover funeral expenses can be sent to 271 Walnut Lane, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007. The family wishes to express their gratitude for all of your kindness and prayers shown in their time of sorrow.

I didn't know you well JD, but you were an amazing friend to someone who I love very much which made me so thankful and through that, I saw what an outstanding person you truly are. I appreciate everything you did for him and I know you must have done so much for your other friends, as well. The couple memories I have with you are filled with loud laughs & big smiles. Knowing you as little as I did, I have thought about you everyday since you passed. Goes to show you how much you truly matter. Rest in peace, friend. You're in a better place now.
