Bradley Janowitz, a devoted father, beloved son, cherished brother, and faithful servant of Christ, passed away peacefully on May 10, 2025, at the age of 48 while tending to his garden — doing what he loved most. He had recently been battling heart issues, yet remained full of grace, strength, and love until his final moments.

A lifelong resident of Cary, Illinois, Bradley lived a life defined by faith, family, and the outdoors. As a child, he was a standout soccer player, known for his athleticism and aggressive style of play. As he grew, he developed a deep appreciation for nature, spending much of his free time hunting, fishing, and gardening. He was a well versed handyman when it came to fixing and creating anything mechanical. He was a man that knew how to fix just about anything from a car to his daughter's prom dress.

Bradley was a devout Christian and an active member of Living Grace Community Church, where his faith and commitment to others shone brightly. He dedicated his adult life to working alongside his closest friends at US Machinery Movers, where he was known for his strong work ethic and even stronger friendships.

Bradley is survived by his two loving children, Olivia and Parker Janowitz, who were his pride and joy; his mother, Barbara Janowitz; his siblings, Nicholas Janowitz, Benjamin Janowitz, and Christine Janowitz; and his niece and nephew, Kyla Janowitz and Nicholas Janowitz Jr. He was preceded in death by his father, Richard Janowitz, whose memory he carried with him always.

Bradley will be remembered for his unwavering faith, his boundless love for his family, and his zest for life in the great outdoors. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, dedication, and the quiet strength of a life well-lived.

Visitation to celebrate Bradley's life will be held Thursday May 15th from 3pm until a funeral service at 6pm at Living Grace Community Church, 1500 Silver Lake Rd, Cary. 

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Living Grace Community Church in his honor.
