Alex Mackiewicz Obituary
Alex Frank Mackiewicz (Bub), 43, of Allentown PA died Sunday, November 13, at Sacred Heart Hospital in Allentown, PA. Born in Reading, PA he was the son of Alex and MaryEllen Mackiewicz and brother to two sisters Christine and Andrea. Alex was a truly blessed gift from God and brought joy, admiration and inspiration to those who knew and loved him. He had a gentle smile and sometimes a hardy laugh that softened the seriousness of his condition and would brighten any room. He enjoyed taking trips in the family SUV with his parents (which we called Bub Days), listening to music and especially enjoyed the food his devoted mother prepared for him every day. Survivors: Alex is survived by his parents, Alex and MaryEllen Mackiewicz; and his sisters, Christine Papic, wife of Donat and Andrea Blake, wife of Craig. He has one nephew and three nieces, Donny, Natalie, Olivia and Rachel Papic; and extended family of his Uncle Richard and his wife Aunt Linda Mackiewicz and their children Stacy and Alexis. Services: Calling hours are from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday, November 16th with Parastas at 7 p.m. in Kohut Funeral Home, Inc. 950 N. Front St. Allentown. Private viewing and Funeral Service for family members will be held at The Protection of Holy Theotokos Ukrainian Orthodox Church on Fullerton Ave. Contributions: Contributions in lieu of flowers may be made to The Protection of the Holy Theotokos Ukrainian Orthodox Church for their Icon Restoration Fund.
