Our hearts are heavy to share the news of 25 year old Xander Kazanowski being tragically taken away from this world on March 28th. The family is hoping to memorialize his vibrant, creative soul by providing for the needs, care and future of his children: daughter Thea, and his expected son, John.

Raised in South Barrington, Illinois, and a proud graduate of Barrington High School, Xander moved to Chicago’s Avondale neighborhood to chase his dreams. He was loaded with many entrepreneurial ideas, and the energy required to chase them. He brought confidence, authenticity, and fresh energy to everything he touched. He loved nature, the outdoors and all creatures big and small, including his dog Zeus.

Xander lived boldly with ambition and individuality, inspiring everyone around him. He was a devoted son, brother, father, partner and friend.

Please consider donating to help give his children a bright future filled with care, education and opportunity.

The friends and family of Xander thank you!
