Stephen E. Kavich age 72 of Genoa City, WI died September 16, 2022. He was born in Chicago, IL on January 7, 1950. The son of the late Chester and Stephanie (Pliszka) Kavich Sr. On June 27, 1975, in Waukegan, IL he was united in marriage to Linda Kruckenberg. Stephen served in the United States National Guard. He worked for 30 plus years as a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service.
During his life he spent his free time vegetable gardening. He was a member of the National Association of Letter Carriers. His greatest happiness came from spending time with his children and grandchildren and making them laugh. His one-liners never disappointed so it was fitting when he jokingly quipped to them it was “time to abandon ship”. His sense of humor will always be the family’s greatest memory.
Survived by his wife Linda. Father to Kristin (Kevin) Seay, Katie (Michael) Holmes, Jessica (Matthew) Weber. Grandfather to Stephen, Rachel, Claire, Caitlyn, Troy, Madison, Lane, and Savanna. Preceded in death by his brothers Chester Kavich Jr and Walter Kavich.
