Kevin Clayton Berner, age 50, a resident of Fox Lake, IL, passed away on August 1, 2024 at his home. He was born on January 17, 1974 in Skokie, IL to Victor and Gloria Berner.

Kevin loved music, video games, and movies. He worked for many years in movie theaters and a movie rental store where he made a great deal of lifelong friendships. For the last 20 years of his employment, he worked at Alight Solutions where he made countless connections.

Kevin’s love for the band Serendipity was well-known. He followed them for many years and eventually became part of their crew, helping out wherever he could. The band and their families became like family to Kevin, and he cherished sharing his love for Serendipity with his own family and friends, often inviting them to shows and traveling far and wide to enjoy his favorite band with his favorite people.

Affectionately nicknamed “Uncle” by his niece and nephew, Kevin showed up to countless sporting events to cheer them on. He became a staple in his niece’s Dawgs travel softball team, making friends with the players and their families. Uncle never missed an opportunity to video Kyla’s at-bats often announcing “Kyla’s up!”.  I don’t think any of us from the softball team will ever be able to say “Kyla’s up!” without a moment of happy sadness. We are all so grateful he was able to spend a week with his family and softball friends at the Dawg’s final tournament in Alabama the week before his passing. 

Kevin was very close with his family, vacationing with his parents and sister through all his early years, continuing through the remainder of his life with his aunts, uncles, and cousins. He never missed a family birthday celebration or holiday. He loved his family very much.

Friends and family describe Kevin as one of the kindest people you will ever meet. He would do anything for anyone if asked. He also had a knack for being hysterically inappropriate, a trait that was loved by all. Kevin wasn’t like anyone else you know. He was unique in his own way and created so many wonderful memories for everyone he knew.

Kevin was absolutely taken from us far too soon, but we will be laughing and crying over his memories for the rest of our lives. We wish we could list every person we know was important in Kevin’s life and greatly appreciate all the beautiful posts made by friends and family on his Facebook page.

Kevin is survived by his parents, Victor and Gloria Berner; his sister, Christina McCarte; his niece and nephew, Kyla and Colten McCarte; his aunt and uncle, Judy (Roger) Mistak and Bob (Susan) Berner; and cousins, Rachel Kilschautzky, Cammy Adams, and Marc Taylor.

A visitation will be held at Strang Funeral Chapel, 410 E Belvidere Road, Grayslake, IL 60030 on Thursday, August 8, 2024 from 4pm until 8pm. A funeral service will be held at the funeral chapel on Friday, August 9, 2024 at 10am.  Interment will be held at Concordia Cemetery in Forest Park, IL. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to his favorite band via Venmo @Serendipity-Band. For more information, please call (847)223-8122 or visit www.StrangFuneral.org.

Francis R. McNeill of Grayslake, IL was born August 31, 1927, to Cecil and Iva McNeill in Flint, Michigan and grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in Gould City.  He passed away on July 29, 2024.  As a young man, his family owned a team of Percheron horses which they used for logging.  As an adult, Fran moved to Illinois to work at a wire mill.  He worked at the American Can Company until he was hired by the Frank G. Hough Company, which eventually became International Harvester.  He worked there for many years as a test stand operator until his retirement.  Fran played semi-professional baseball for a time.  He married Barbara (Anjaria-Mehlhorn) in 1991.  Fran enjoyed bowling, fishing, and golfing in his spare time.  In his retirement, he enjoyed restoring vehicles.  His restorations included a 62’ Chevy Apache, a 42’ Dodge truck and a 63’ Corvair, among others.

Fran was very active in his church.  He was a member at Immanuel Lutheran Church for over 70 years.  He served on a number of Boards and the Council.

Fran loved to garden.  The family fondly remembers all the potatoes, tomatoes, and other vegetables he grew in great numbers.  He loved working outside taking great pride in his lawn.  Fran enjoyed cooking and is known for his beef stew, grandma’s chili and his spareribs.  “Boy were they good.”

Benjamin J. Ranes, age 33, a resident of Round Lake, IL passed away on July 16, 2024 at Northwestern Hospital in Chicago, IL.  He was born on December 21, 1990 in Lagrange, IL to Lawrence and Elizabeth (nee Fick) Ranes.

When he was young, Ben’s family thought he would be a diplomat. He was good at keeping the peace. Ben had other dreams; he wanted to be a zebra. 

Always unapologetically himself, Ben’s wardrobe was filled with colorful Hawaiian shirts. A connoisseur of words, he enjoyed writing and world building, creating elaborate stories often featuring his friends and loved ones. While his friends are spread around the country, Ben loved staying in contact with them however he could, and did his best to be the “glue” and gather them together for fun and board games. He was always there for his friends and family, although he would have been too humble to say as much. In his spare time, Ben kept sharp by assembling and displaying building sets, solving puzzles in video games, and even helping his family with their own word puzzle games. Despite his claims of hating word puzzle games, Ben was quite good at them. 

Words alone do not adequately describe Ben; although, if anyone was able to do so, it would have been Ben. Put simply, Ben was the kind of person who enriched your life by simply knowing him, and he is, and will forever be, sorely missed. 

Benjamin is survived by his parents, Lawrence and Elizabeth Ranes; and his siblings, Christopher (Phylicia) of Zion and Meghan of Round Lake.

A memorial visitation and service will be held at Strang Funeral Chapel, 410 E Belvidere Road, Grayslake, IL 60030 on Saturday, July 27, 2024 from 3pm until 4pm, with a memorial service commencing at 4pm.  Interment will be held privately.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Heart Association in honor of Benjamin.  For more information, please call (847)223-8122 or visit www.StrangFuneral.org.
