THOMAS “Tommy” ELKINS JR.
Date of BirthMay 4, 1964 Date of DeathJune 16, 2022 Thomas “Tommy” Elkins Jr., age 58, of Huntley, passed away at his home unexpectedly, June 16, 2022. He was born May 4, 1964, in Chicago, IL, to proud parents, Thomas Sr. and Margaret Elkins. Tommy grew up in Elk Grove Village and attended local schools. He graduated from Conant High School in Hoffman Estates, with the class of 1982. Following graduation, Tommy found work at the local Jewel and later added Littelfuse, Elgin Sweepers, Webber Grill in Huntley and others to his resume, finding a home and friends at each location. Tommy was an avid golfer, always searching for that elusive “hole-in-one” and in earlier years was competitive in several bowling leagues and chasing the perfect game. Tommy would sometimes pack up and start an adventure, taking vacations when he could. If he had his wish, Peru would have been the ultimate destination. Gone too soon, Tommy’s indelible mark will endure, as will his memories, in the hearts of all who loved him. He is survived by his mother Margaret Elkins; two sisters: Annette (Jim) Rochelle and Michelle (Charlie) Conklin; aunts and uncles including: Terry (Joanne) Elkins, Trudy Wrzesinski; several nieces, nephews, many cousins and a family of friends. He now joins his father, Thomas Elkins Sr. and one uncle, Henry Wrzesinski, who preceded him in death.
