Steven F. Napolilli

Steven F. Napolilli, age 71, of Elmhurst, lost his battle with frontaltemporal dementia on Friday, August 25, 2023, surrounded by the love of his family. Beloved husband of Mary A., nee Owca; loving father of Carrie (Jeffrey) Krol and Jeff (Ashley) Napolilli; proud grandfather of Harvey, Edith and Louis Krol and Peyton and Kaylee Napolilli; dear brother of Robert (Karen) and James (Carrie) Napolilli and the late Mary Ellen (Ronald) Greene; wonderful brother-in-law of Joseph (Sally) Owca; fond uncle and great-uncle of many. Steve was a kind-hearted, caring husband, father, and grandfather, who cherished time spent with family and gave the best hugs. An avid runner, he participated in the Turkey Trot, Shamrock Shuffle, and other local races for many years. He loved traveling near and far with friends and family. Lake Lawn Lodge in Delavan, Wisconsin, and Paris, France, were special places with many happy memories. We are comforted knowing that Steve’s brain is “broken” no more.
