William "Bill" Dedic
January 29, 1954 – January 9, 2025
Mr. Bill, Willy, Butch, Duda, Dad no matter what name you knew him by, one thing was certain: you never called him a stranger.
His journey was shaped by resilience and responsibility. Losing his father at a young age, he stepped into the role of man of the house, supporting his mother and two younger sisters with a strength and maturity beyond his years. These early challenges shaped a man who could face any obstacle.
He became a master of self-reliance, teaching himself how to repair and maintain everything from homes to vehicles. These skills became the foundation of a life devoted to family, friends, and service.
As a young man, Bill met the love of his life and wife of fifty years, Debbie. Together, they built a family filled with love, laughter, and the joy of three children: Jenni, Bill, and Mandy, along with his grandson, Anthony. His dedication to his family was unwavering.
Bill applied his energy and talent to a successful career at Commonwealth Edison. Over the years, he earned a reputation as a brilliant and indispensable member of the organization, mastering all aspects of the utility business. From managing new projects to serving as a critical engineer, his expertise and commitment were widely praised.
His contributions extended far beyond his workplace. Bill's life was a testament to generosity. His circle of friends was large, and his willingness to help others knew no limits. Whether it was plumbing, electrical work, construction, auto repairs, or appliances, Bill was the person everyone called in times of need. He never turned anyone away, approaching every challenge with kindness, ingenuity, and determination.
Bill Dedic's legacy is one of love, loyalty, and service. He leaves behind a family who adored him, friends who treasured him, and a world made brighter by his countless acts of generosity and kindness.
