Ronald P. Kurecki

Age 52 of Joliet, formerly of Burbank, passed away Friday January  24, 2020 at his home.

Born March 2, 1967 in Oak Lawn, Ronald Paul is the son of Barbara (nee Shimkus) and the late Ronald E. Kurecki. He was raised and educated in Burbank and graduated from Reavis High School with the Class of 1985. On July 17, 1992, Ronald married Erica Marie Crumb in Hannibal, Missouri. He worked as an independent truck driver for his entire career. Ronald loved spending his time outdoors, especially at Lake Will Sportsman Club in Wilmington where he would fish. He enjoyed art as a young man and was a gifted artist, in addition to playing video games. Talented at cooking and baking, Ronald would often prepare meals for his family using his own vegetables that he grew in his garden. He loved fireworks, and the Fourth of July was his favorite day of the year which he would refer to as “his Christmas”.
