Carl “Car” W. Kubacki, 56, of Crown Point, Indiana, formerly of Highland, Indiana, “moved on to other fishing ponds” suddenly on Friday, April 5, 2019, surrounded by his loving family. He is survived by his mother, Virginia (Ginny) Kubacki of Crown Point, IN; his sister, Janice (Jan) Yonke of Cedar Lake, IN; his sister, Sharon (Shag) Kubacki of Crown Point, IN; his daughter, Shannon Kelly (along with Casey Joiner); his two granddaughters, Emileigh (Emi) and Elena Kelly; and one grandson, Milo Kelly, all of Fitchburg (Madison), WI; two nieces, Bridget Yonke Lisa (along with her husband, Tony Lisa) and Samantha (Sam) Yonke, all of Phoenix, AZ. Carl was preceded in death by his father, Richard (Dick) Kubacki, of Crown Point, IN. Carl was a 1980 graduate of Highland High School. He was a son, brother, uncle, father, grandfather, who was absolutely adored by his grandchildren, friend and a great fisherman. He was happiest when he was out fishing. Carl shared his passion and love of fishing with many. He was fondly known as “El Cap-E-tain” by some. Carl, “El Cap-E-tain,” made a mighty tasty fish fry, would make sure the freezer was stocked up for when friends and family visited or simply because a fish fry is good any time! Carl had his share of ups and downs in life and overcame a lot. He left this world sober for over 8 years and will be missed by many! A Celebration of Carl’s Life will be held on Saturday, April 20, 2019, from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. at Memory Lane Funeral Home, 6305 W. Lincoln Highway (US 30), Crown Point, Indiana.
