John C. "Jack" Mravinec

John "Jack" Mravinec, age 74, of Gibsonia, formerly of Shaler, passed
unexpectedly on August 10, 2025. Devoted husband to the late Christine
(Zalewski); Proud loving father to his two daughters that meant the
world to him, Kristin, of Richmond, VA, and Jacki (Nick High), of
Wexford. Beloved brother to Sue O'Toole, uncle to Patrick and Karen
(Lehigh), and loving great-uncle to his great-nieces and nephews. Born
July 5, 1951 to John and Ruth Mravinec, raised in Lawrenceville
"before it was trendy", a graduate of Peabody High School. Many family
vacation summers were spent "at the lake" (Canadohta), always the week
of his birthday complete with sparklers in his cake. Jack was always
ready to talk about Pittsburgh or how to get around the belt system.
He knew multiple routes to get around town at any given time, which
helped him as he navigated the city as a transportation driver for
NAMS and Greentree Doubletree. Jack enjoyed meeting the people he
picked up along the way, always ready to talk to anyone that he came
in contact with. He enjoyed a brief stint as a bartender, lending an
ear and a drink to those at the bar, after leaving Veolia Water
(formerly Chester Engineers) in their IT department. Those that were
fortunate to know him would instantly smile when he entered a room,
his energy and laugh intoxicating to all around. Blissfully reunited
with his love, Chris, and his faithful yellow lab Jake.
