George Winnicki, 61, of Forest Park, died peacefully at his home on Dec. 30, 2025, surrounded by his family. Born on June 5, 1964, in Chicago, at Lutheran Deaconess Hospital, he spent his life in the Chicago area, where he built a steady and honorable life grounded in responsibility and devotion to his family. He was a hard worker who got up and went to work every day. He dedicated more than 35 years as a vested security professional, earning full vesting through his long and faithful service. His reliability and strong sense of duty were evident throughout his career and his life.
In his personal time, he enjoyed fishing, being outdoors, and spending time in nature. He found peace in simple moments and appreciated the calm and quiet of the outdoors. Above all, he was devoted to his family. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
George was the husband of Suzanne Winnicki and father to his sons, Thomas Winnicki and Kevin Winnicki. He was a kind man — quiet, dependable, and respectful, someone who treated others with fairness and decency.
Visitation was held on Jan. 9 at Zimmerman-Harnett Funeral Home followed by a chapel service and interment at Queen of Heaven Cemetery.
