Rick Siefert Obituary

Rick Siefert, age 64, of Bradley, Il, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, in the comfort of his own home.

Rick was born February 12, 1961, in Kankakee, Il, the son of Harold Siefert and Glendoris (Pray) Jensen. Rick was a proud steelworker for Nucor for more than 35 years, and worked diligently each and every day. When he wasn't working, Rick loved to ride his motorcycle around, as well as play a game of euchre or pool with his friends. He loved to watch his favorite team play, the Dallas Cowboys. But above all else, he loved his two dogs, Shelby and Sabre.

He is survived by his four sisters, Sharon Woodworth, Sue Frantzen, Ann Ford, and Deborah Netherton: his brother, Harold Siefert Jr.; and many nieces and nephews

Rick was preceded in death by his father, Harold Siefert Sr.; and his mother, Glendoris Jensen; as well as his beloved pets, Shelby and Sabre.

Cremation rites have been accorded. Jensen Funeral Home in Kankakee is handling arrangements.

He will be missed.
