David Owsianiak Obituary
David retired from the Chicago Fire Department in 2018 where he was a member of the busiest fire companies including Squad 1 and Squad 5 before his promotion to Lieutenant. David volunteered in New York after the 9/11 attacks and in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. David's hobbies included motorcycles, hunting, scuba diving, camping and Da Bears. David will be missed by many friends and family from Chicago, Colorado and Florida. Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, services will be held at a later date.

I knew him from H.S. I remember that he was a funny guy...always cheerful. I pray that he's with our Lord and that some day all of us will reunite in Heaven. May God rest his soul.

Going to miss his goofy laugh and smile. I will continue to follow all the advice he shared with me, even though it wasn't what I wanted to hear sometimes.
