Frank Siwek

Age 67 of Diamond, formerly of Chicago, passed away Monday March 18, 2019 at his home.

Born November 20, 1951 in Chicago, Frank Joseph was the son of Edward and Helen (nee Ciechna) Siwek. He was raised and educated in Chicago, and graduated from Thomas Kelly High School with the Class of 1971. On August 3, 1974, Frank married Donna Lynn Niemeyer in Berwyn.

He worked as an iron worker for Chicago Ornamental Irons for 25 years, and was a proud union member. Frank later worked for Schneider National and Mohawk Industries, Inc. as a truck driver. He was passionate about spending time outdoors, especially camping at Whispering Pines Campground in Marseilles. Frank liked to hunt deer and pheasant, and traveling to Wyoming was a special memory to him. He was gracious with his time, and thought it was important to help anyone in need and volunteer at local food pantries.

Survivors include his wife of 44 years: Donna Siwek of Diamond; two children: James (Jackie) Siwek of Coal City and Nick (Amy) Siwek of Killeen, Texas; three grandchildren: Jacklyn Murray, Ashley Murray, and Julie Ramsey; five sisters-in-law: Debra (the late Stanley) Mateja, Darlene (Joe) Anolowski, Deanne (Bruce) Kimball, Denise (Dave) Slechta, and Doris (Brian) Schaub, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
