Obituary of Darrell J. Zettek

Age 58, a longtime resident of Bolingbrook, IL passed from this life early Sunday morning, September 19, 2021.  He was born September 3, 1963 in Chicago, IL to the late Lovelle (nee Kubelka) and Jerome Zettek.  Darrell had resided in Bolingbrook since the age of three, and attended grade school and high school there, graduating with the class of 1981 from Bolingbrook High School where he was a member of the wrestling team.

He is the beloved son of Jerome Zettek and the late Lovelle Zettek; loving brother of Deborah (late Terry) Dziewiatkowski, Dale Zettek, Denise Zettek and Darren Zettek; proud uncle of Christopher (Cathy), Craig (Gracie), Christina, Melanie (Goddaughter), Cailey and Nicole; dearest great uncle of Gianna, Frankie, Max, Bernadette, Bo and Louis. Several aunts, uncles, cousins and his faithful canine companion Knox also survive.

Darrell was employed as a maintenance supervisor. He was a member of the American Pool Association. A great organizer of fun events, he ran many area pool leagues, was a former manager of the Bolingbrook Men's travel softball team and any chance he had he would get out and fish (his other favorite pastime) with his many fishing buddies, Dad Jerome being #1.  The semi-annual trip to scenic Cass Lake in Minnesota provided so many great memories.

Darrell will be remembered fondly for his down-to-earth personality, his optimism and for being a friend to all.  Many will remember his trademark laugh as well.  You sometimes heard Darrell before you saw him!

As it was Darrell’s wish cremation rites have been accorded and a celebration of his life will be held on Tuesday, November 23, 2021 at St. Patrick's Parish, 406 Walnut Street, Yorkville, 60560, at 10:00 a.m.  To join us via live stream please visit St. Patrick's website.
