A special thank you to the Illinois State Fire Marshals Office for this incredible opportunity.

We are proud to announce that our fire department has received a grant from the Illinois State Fire Marshal’s Office to purchase a new Genesis Combi Tool! This state-of-the-art rescue tool combines spreading, cutting, and extrication capabilities into one powerful piece of equipment, allowing our firefighters and rescue personnel to respond faster and more effectively during emergency situations.

Today, the Village of Stickney and the Stickney Police Department mourn the loss of Mayor Jeff Walik, a man whose life was deeply woven into the fabric of this community.

Long before he served as Mayor, Jeff served this village as a Stickney Police Officer. He wore the badge with pride, dedication, and a genuine love for the people he protected. Even after a career-ending injury, his commitment to Stickney never faded. He simply found another way to continue serving the town he cared so deeply about.

For many within this department, Jeff was more than a Mayor. He was a friend, a co-worker, a mentor, and part of an era that many still look back on with pride and gratitude. His stories, his humor, and his unwavering passion for this village left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Jeff never stopped believing in Stickney. He fought for this community, stood beside its residents, and carried the village with him in everything he did. His legacy will live on not only through his years of service, but through the countless lives he touched along the way.

On behalf of the Stickney Police Department, we extend our deepest condolences to the Walik family, his friends, and all who are grieving this tremendous loss.

Rest peacefully, Mayor Walik. Your watch has ended, but your impact on this village never will. 💙🕊️
