Kagan Wilcox Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 2, 2024.
Kagan Carl Wilcox, aged 33, of Burbank, Illinois, passed away on August 31, 2024. Born on May 27, 1991, Kagan was known for his wit, humor, and perpetual positivity, even during challenging times. His compassionate and generous spirit was evident in his love for his family, pets, friends, and all animals.

Kagan graduated from Argo High School and attended Simmons Middle School. His academic journey was followed by a commendable four-year service in the Army, where he served as a Military Driver, dedicating himself to his duties with integrity and honor.

Beyond his military and professional life, Kagan was passionate about skateboarding, hockey, gaming, reading, and was an active member of the Boy Scouts. These activities reflected his adventurous spirit and his constant pursuit of learning and fun.

Kagan is survived by his loving family: mother Debra Wilcox, sister Dana Wilcox, and father Anthony Wilcox. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Mary and Frank Kutas, as well as Harold Dyke Sr. and Barbara Dyke.

Kagana€™s life was a beacon of kindness and joy for those who knew him, and his memory will be cherished in the hearts of his family and friends forever.

There are too many memories and experiences and not enough words to express them. I enjoyed all of our time together in the Army and all the road trips we would take when we´d finally get a couple days off! I´ve always thought of you as one of my best friends in life even though we only got a few short years. Rest easy brother, and till we meet again.
