Eugene Gick Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Knollcrest Funeral Home on Jan. 28, 2026.
Eugene F. Gick, age 77 of Lombard. Beloved husband of Carol Gick, nee Wood; loving father of Cheryl (Mark) Berman, and Sandy Gick; dear son of the late Sophia, nee Lutz, and the late Leo Gick; cherished grandfather of Kayleigh Berman; brother of Gerre (Richard) Davit; brother-in-law of Judy Schermerhorn, and Donna Schley; uncle, relative, and friend of many.

Gene was a proud army veteran, honing his mechanical skills fixing tanks in Germany during Vietnam. He later used those skills for over 30 years as a Mechanic and eventual Foreman for Commonwealth Edison. After retirement, he used his many mechanical skills as a handyman at Oakbrook Community Church. He was widely known as a jack of all trades, being more than willing to offer his skills to fix things for family and friends.

He was a lifelong Chicago sports fan, especially the Cubs. He was an avid reader and history buff. He was particularly proud of his '64 Dodge Dart Convertible, and his many furry canine companions over the years. His greatest devotion was to his family, especially his two daughters and granddaughter.

I knew Gene through our Sunday nights together. I cannot express how much it has meant to me for him to have been there all these years. He started there about 6 months before I did, but for some reason, always seemed to have been so much farther ahead of me. I sincerely hope his family knew how much he cared for them and lovingly and fondly spoke of them. He will be missed much more than he will ever know.
We will be out the area on the date of his service, but I wish to express my deepest condolences to his Wife, daughters, grandchildren and relatives.
It may sound corny but the world truly is a much poorer place with out Gene Gick in it.
