Bradley Bark Obituary

Bradley B. Bark, 48, of Winnebago, passed away on Saturday, December 14, 2024. Born September 3, 1976, in Rockford, the son of Robert F. Bark and Janeen L. Hays. Graduate of Guilford High School, Class of 1994. Brad worked for AT&T for over 20 years. He was an avid hunter and thoroughly enjoyed going out west to hunt with family and friends. Brad presented as a rough and rugged hunter but beneath his camo and love for heavy metal music was a compassionate and caring man that wore his heart on his sleeve. He was always willing to help friends and family at a moment's notice. Brad found solitude working on his multiple vehicles or mastering his next great wild game recipe.
Survived by his mother, Janeen (Bob) Trenkler; siblings, Randall Bark, Kelly (Chad) Eckman and Megan Kline; niece, Ashley (Jonathan) Frazier; nephew, Jonathan Coonfare; great-nephew, Jack Frazier; and several aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Predeceased by his father, Robert; grandparents, Ralph (Irene) Bark and Betty Guler; sister, Jade Kline; uncles, Charles and George Bark; and aunt, Sherry Thornton.
Funeral Services will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Monday, December 30, 2024 at Fred C. Olson Chapel, 1001 Second Ave., Rockford. Visitation will be from 2:00 to 2:45 p.m. prior to the service.
