Donald J. Prischak

Donald J. Prischak, 57, of Naples, FL., passed away on Wednesday, September 24, 2025. He was born in Erie, PA., son of Joseph and Isabel Jankowski Prischak.

He attended Our Lady of Peace grade school and graduated from McDowell High School in 1986.

Donald became a Toolmaker at Triangle Tool before moving into the Sales group at Plastek Industries. He later became Executive Vice President of Sales at Plastek and worked alongside his brothers in the family business. In addition to this, he started many businesses, including restaurants and an event promotion company, Championship Events. Alongside his brother Daniel, he co-managed Lake Erie Speedway for many years.

Donald lived his life with compassion, humor, and a wide open heart. He had a way of making everyone feel at home, whether through his easy smile, thoughtful words, or the way he always put others before himself. He always saw the optimistic side of every challenge.

Donald was a devoted father to his five children, who were the absolute joy of his life. He took immense pride in their character, successes, and strong bond. He was a constant source of love, support, and guidance, and his legacy will live on in the values he instilled in those he cherished most.

He was a dedicated husband to the love he always came home to, Jennifer. Together for 20 years, they built a life full of laughter, strength, and unconditional love. He cherished the countless memories they made, facing life's challenges side by side, and never letting a day pass without saying, I love you.

As a son, he was endlessly devoted to Joseph and Isabel Prischak, showing his gratitude in words and the care and respect he gave them daily. As a brother, he was a close companion and a trusted business partner. He celebrated their joys and stood with them in their struggles.

His father, Joseph Prischak, and Grandparents preceded Donald in death.
