David Ligocki Obituary
Age 65 of Crystal Lake, Illinois, passed away Tuesday, January 14, 2025, at Northwestern Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, Illinois.
Born March 14, 1959, in Chicago, Illinois, David was a son of John and Regina Ligocki. He was raised in Schaumburg, Illinois and graduated from Proviso West High School. David worked in retail for his remaining years in the workforce until he retired. His last position was a manager for Walmart in Palatine. He found great purpose in putting in a hard day’s work. David was extremely mathematical and enjoyed being around people. Though gone too soon, he made an impact on many people and tried the best he could to leave a positive legacy behind.
Survivors include his daughter, Kelsey Ligocki of Essex, Illinois, and his stepson, Daniel Shock of Michigan; two grandchildren: Jack and Jordan Nelson-Ligocki; and one brother, Scott (Heather) Ligocki and their family.
David was preceded in death by his parents and one sister, Tina Ligocki.
