Lester E. Krol

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Lester E. Krol, age 65, of Palatine, who left us on December 29, 2025. He was born on July 22, 1960 in Chicago to the late Thaddeus and Helen Krol.

Lester was a devoted son, a cherished brother, a loving father, and a proud grandfather whose warmth and humor touched all who knew him. Lester is survived by his sisters Renee and Laura; his children Michael (Amber) and Michele (Nick); and his grandchildren Liam and Piper.

Memorial visitation will be held Sunday, January 18, 2026 from 11 AM until the eulogy service at 1:30 PM at Davenport Family Funeral Home and Crematory, 941 S. Old Rand Rd., Lake Zurich.  Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance and to celebrate a life that brought joy to others. A private family burial will take place at a later date. 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Lester’s honor to the American Diabetes Association, honoring his lifelong battle with Type 1 diabetes.

Lester will be dearly missed, but his love and laughter will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
