Bryan S. Whitlock

Bryan began dating Ramona in 1999 and they were married on January 1, 2005 by Mona’s late uncle, Ted Fritz.

Along with his wife Mona, Bryan is survived by his mother, Sally Ann Whitlock, his three children, Dennis, Sarah, and Carter; grandchildren: Emma, Dennis, and Dominic; siblings: Thomas (Hollie) Whitlock, Michele (Roger) Lantern, Kristie Deatherage, and Jeff Whitlock; several nieces, nephews, and many friends. Bryan was preceded in death by his father, Richard Thomas Whitlock, his uncle Bill Whitlock, and both maternal and paternal grandparents.

Considered by many to be “Mr. Fix-it”, Bryan was very proud to be an employee of Sangamon County. Bryan took care of the operational needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He was responsible for continuous maintenance of the physical plants including: the County Courthouse, County Jail, Juvenile Detention Center, Animal Control, Emergency 911 Call Center, Office of Emergency Management and County Highways. He oversaw the day-to-day maintenance needs of all the real estate owned by Sangamon County. He oversaw and directed special build out projects, including the new Sangamon County Child Advocacy Center. Bryan also ensured timely updates throughout our portfolio for COVID related needs.

Bryan was a Precinct Committeeman and a member of the Carpenters Local 270. Most of all Bryan was a loving son, husband, father, and friend. He knew how to brighten your day and did it daily!
