Gerald Kapis, age 92, passed away peacefully yet unexpectedly on January 2, 2026, at Killarney Kourt in Sturtevant, WI.
Gerald was born on October 13, 1933, in the suburbs of Illinois. He graduated from college and later honorably served his country in the United States Air Force. His military service remained meaningful to him throughout his life, and he faithfully supported various veteran organizations over the years.
He spent more than twelve years working as a phone line technician at AT&T, a role that reflected his steady and dependable nature. Over the course of his life, Gerald lived in Racine, Wisconsin; Phoenix, Arizona; and Bolingbrook, Illinois.
On October 13, 1983, he married Margaret Kapis. Together they shared many years of companionship. Gerald was a father to three daughters and one son and a stepfather to Dawn, Joy, and Donald. He was also a step-grandfather to Javi, Rose, and Tatiana.
Gerald was a man of Roman Catholic faith and lived as a brother of that faith. Quiet and reserved by nature, he valued a simple life.
At this time, no services will be held.
