Obituary published on Legacy.com by Washburn-McReavy Funeral Chapels - Columbia Heights on Jan. 21, 2026.
John Steven Misik age 95, of Columbia Heights, passed away peacefully on January 17, 2026. Born January 22, 1930. Preceded in death by his wife Margaret (Mickey); parents Stephan and Helen; sisters, Margaret (Joseph) Pavek, Elizabeth (Alfred) Lindner, Helen (Corliss) More and grandson Michael R. Lunney. Survived by children, Jeffrey (Laurie), Robin (John) Lunney, Jerome (Karen); grandchildren, Andrew (Katie), Angela (Tommy) Gore, Ann Marie (Chances) Kuhn; great-grandchildren, Isaac, Ireland, Olivia, Kingston, Rhythm, Naiyah and many extended family and friends.

John's life was devoted to his wife, family, church, and various sporting events. He was an avid MN Vikings fan. He was a member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, the Knights of Columbus, VFW post and Ushers Club. John was employed by the State of Minnesota for 35 years, served in the Korean War, loved the outdoors and spent hours in his workshop creating various woodworking projects. He was especially proud of the many ribbons and awards received from the MN State Fair. We find comfort in knowing that Dad's legacy lives on through the lessons he taught us, the love he shared, and the memories we will cherish forever.
