ROCHELLE — The family of a man who passed away after a motorcycle vs. car accident in Sycamore Monday is raising money to pay for his funeral and medical expenses. 

Broc Mohler, 30, of Rochelle suffered serious injuries and was transported to Kishwaukee Community Hospital where he was later pronounced deceased after an accident just before 9 a.m. on Bethany Road at Klein Road involving his Honda motorcycle and an SUV. 

A Sycamore Police press release said Mohler was traveling eastbound on Bethany Road when it struck the SUV that was turning from Bethany Road onto Klein Road.

Mohler’s sister, Natasha, said Broc was the sole breadwinner of his family, and they’d just purchased their first home a few months ago. 

He leaves behind a wife and two young sons, his mother and stepdad, three sisters and “tons” of nephews and nieces, the GoFundMe page said. 

“He was only 30 years old with his whole life ahead of him,” Natasha wrote on the GoFundMe page. “He was just blocks away from safely arriving at work on his motorcycle, when a car pulled out in front of him, leaving him unable to brake in time.”

The driver of the SUV, Fran Bomar, 69, Sycamore, and the other occupant of the SUV were uninjured. Bomar was cited for improper turn at an intersection and failure to yield while turning left.

$5,246 was raised of the $10,000 goal as of Wednesday afternoon. 

“He was a quiet and reserved kind of guy, but once you got to know him he was the biggest jokester with a huge heart,” Natasha wrote on the GoFundMe page. “He had the best sense of humor and he loved his babies and his wife SO much. We are all devastated by this unexpected tragedy.”
