He will be buried at a private family ceremony at a date to be determined. Visitation will be held from 2:00 to 6:00 PM, Sunday, Apat Nelson Funeral Home 1617 N Bridge Street Yorkville, IL 60560. He was preceded by his paternal and maternal grandparents, Magdalene (Kahlweiss) and Gottfried Bomba, and Nancy (Brain) and Walter Helmick. What earth has lost, heaven has gained, and in him we find a new guardian to watch us over the years, until we may meet again. Always fearless, he led the way to death before us. He is survived by many sorrowing relations, including his wife Alyssa Rae Bomba and son Brody Owen Bomba of Yorkville, IL parents Bonnie (Ray) Fox and Steve (Hilary) Bomba in-laws Gregory (Dawne) Beerup brothers Kurtis (Morgan) Bomba, Eric Bomba, and Peter Bomba siblings-in-law Brian (Jessica) Beerup and Brandon Beerup step-siblings Salina Silagyi, Jadah, Josiah, and Ravyn Flint, along with nieces and nephews, and countless friends. Above all, his crowning joy was his son Brody, and having a wonderful woman to birth and help raise him. Fitting for a man of action, he was often the most extroverted person in the room sometimes this could lead him to trouble or rough spots, but we would do well to remember that the greatest people are not always those who make the fewest mistakes. He also enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting, hiking, boating, cooking, performing veterans' outreach, and riding his motorcycle or pickup. He could join a conversation on any topic, from sports to politics, whether mundane or in-depth, yet he could also spend quiet hours reading or focused on a project. He loved making others laugh telling stories around a beer and bonfire with friends and family, or on a dock or at the beach, always with country music playing the background. Karl was most at home with people and the outdoors. Though he worked many jobs, he found his trade at his father's company, Motive Power Resources, as a locomotive mechanic. In a rush to see the best God's creation has to offer, to visit loved ones, and to share those experiences, he traveled to many places such as his ancestral Germany, the Great Smoky Mountains, out west to Utah and Colorado, the coasts of Oregon and California, and countless trips to the Ozarks in Missouri and summer retreats in Wisconsin.

His devoted wife followed him wherever he went. He reached the rank of Machinery Technician Third Class. From this union in May 2017 was born one son, Brody Owen Bomba.Īlong with his twin, upon graduation, Karl joined the United States Coast Guard, which he proudly served for six years upon Lake Michigan in Sturgeon Bay and ultimately Sheboygan, WI, where his son was born. They were married on Augon the white sands along the ocean of Pensacola Beach, FL. At high school, he also met his sweetheart and future wife, Alyssa Rae (Beerup) Bomba.

Tall and naturally strong, Karl enjoyed weightlifting and quickly became varsity on the cross country team, even participating in the state finals.

Eventually "the Bomba twins," as they quickly became known, transferred to Yorkville High School, where they graduated and befriended still more. They nurtured an early love of rural life biking freely through the country roads, canoeing down the Fox River, working on farms, and enjoying their parents' gardens and animals. Together, happy days rolled by in innocent mischief. Inseparable to the end, Kurt and Karl attended the local schools and made many lasting friends, including Connor Duncan, Tayler Schomer, and Dominic DiClementi. He grew up in Newark, IL with his two younger brothers, Peter and Eric, and his identical twin brother, Kurtis. He was born Novemto Steve and Bonnie (Helmick) Bomba in Aurora, IL.

Karl Matthew Bomba, 28, of Yorkville, IL, died Apat Elmhurst Hospital in Elmhurst, Illinois.
