David Bukovich Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 13, 2025.
David Bukovich, aged 54, passed away unexpectedly on March 9, 2025, in Morrison, IL. Born in Chicago, IL on March 6, 1971, David was a cherished figure in his family, fondly nicknamed "Doy Doy" by his nieces and nephews for his playful, youthful spirit.

David was renowned for his profound love for animals, and will surely have an entire rainbow bridge full waiting for him. His passing is mourned by many, leaving behind a legacy of love and joy.

He is survived by his sister, Andrea (Joseph) Hensgen; nieces Amber (Tony) Lozzi and Allie (Sam) Mairs; nephews Lukas Berman and Clint (Kat) Luetkehans; aunt Geraldine Konkol; a great-niece, Aurelia; a great-nephew, Henry; and numerous cousins who adored him deeply. David was preceded in death by his parents, Arlene and Robert Bukovich.

David's life will be remembered for the warmth and happiness he brought to those around him, his unwavering kindness, his never-ending Star Wars expertise, and his delightful sense of humor. His memory will be cherished by all who knew him as the greatest brother, uncle, and cousin one could ever hope for. May the Force be with you, Doy Doy.
