Donald Janulis

June 28, 1941 — March 28, 2025

Donald F. Janulis, age 83, beloved husband for 32 years to Virginia "Ginny" Janulis, nee Mercede, and the late Joan. Loving father of Jeffrey Janulis, Joyellen Janulis and Jay Janulis. Dear step-father of Kim Jeanes, Kiiri (Jerry) Wagner, Kelly (Brian) O'Connor and the late Ronald Jeanes.

Devoted son of the late Frank and Joyellen (nee Brown) Janulis.

Don was a 1958 graduate of Chicago Vocational High School. He joined his father, Frank, in the multi-generational family business, Chatham Heating which was established in 1944. Don had a spirit for adventure. He hiked many terrains and loved off-road dirt biking. He is well known for his generous heart giving both of his time and hard labor. Don went on many mission and Outfitters trips. He never shied away from a difficult task in helping others through tough situations. Don leaves a great void with his departure.
