Admin / Uncategorized /
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Petar Brković, beloved husband, father, son, brother, cousin and loyal friend. Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Petar devoted his life to serving and protecting his community with unwavering integrity, courage, and compassion. Memory eternal. A dedicated member of the Chicago Police Department for 27 years, Petar rose through the ranks to become a highly respected and decorated sergeant. His commitment to justice and public service left a lasting mark not only on his colleagues but also on the countless lives he touched throughout his career. From a young age, Petar had a deep love for soccer, a game that reflected his energy, focus, and team spirit. He also enjoyed a good cigar, traveling to new places, and spending time with those closest to his heart. Known for his loyalty and fierce protectiveness, Petar was a steadfast presence in the lives of those he loved. He is survived by his devoted wife, Ivette, and their cherished daughters, Leksia, Mirjana, and Natalija. He will also be deeply missed by his loving parents, Milosava (née Kovačević) and Žarko, his brother Zoran, Kumovi, dear friends, and respected colleagues. Petar’s memory will live on through the lives he touched and the legacy he leaves behind – a life of honor, service, and love. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 p.m. at the Holy Resurrection Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, 5701 N Redwood Drive, Chicago, IL 60631.

On your reservation form, please include a valid phone number and email in case we need to contact you. The golf outing is the only fundraising event for the Active-Duty Death Benefit. Without your support, this worthy benefit will not last. It’s a chance for all of us to get together and have some fun for an excellent cause. We have a Zelle account for payments, golf@chicagosergeants.org. Cost is $190, which includes golf, dinner, and refreshments. I hope to see everyone out there. Let’s try to get both courses filled this year! Thank you and stay safe.
