Obituary published on Legacy.com by Michalik Funeral Home on Dec. 16, 2025.
Robert Barney Brehm was 94 when he passed away due to heart failure at St. Joseph's Hospital in Chicago. His family always believed he had nine lives, but did not expect that this was his last one. They were not ready, but he was. He was also a proud veteran of the Korean War. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, especially his wife of 60 years, his 6 children and 7 grandchildren.

Family and friends will meet on Thursday, December 18, 2025, at St. John Cantius Church, 825 North Carpenter Street, Chicago, Illinois 60642 for a 9:30 a.m. Visitation followed by a 10:30 a.m. Funeral Mass. Entombment All Saints Cemetery, Des Plaines, Illinois.
