Philip "Butch" Sytek

SYTEK, Philip "Butch" – of Davison, MI, age 78, passed away on Tuesday, January 14, 2025 at McLaren-Flint. Cremation has taken place, and no services will be held at this time. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Carriage Town Ministries in honor of Butch.
Butch was born in Rogers City, Michigan, on April 18, 1946, to Leland and Helen (Burlea) Sytek. On July 29, 1969, he married the love of his life, Jan Wagner, in Davison, Michigan. Together, they shared 55 wonderful years of marriage. Butch served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. He later dedicated 39 years of hard work to General Motors before enjoying a well-earned retirement. Known as a master fixer, Butch could repair just about anything and everything. A happy-go-lucky man, Butch had a knack for spreading cheer wherever he went. He found joy in life's simple pleasures, like riding his bike, taking the boat out on the water, and spending time in the great outdoors. He especially cherished time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought endless smiles to his life. Butch and his wife had a passion for antiques, both collecting and selling them. He was also known for his love of golf-although his enthusiasm waned a bit when the wins started slipping away! Tuesday breakfasts with his close-knit group of friends were another highlight of his week. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him and the countless people whose lives he brightened with his cheerful spirit and kind heart.
Butch is survived by his wife, Jan Sytek; brother, George (Nancy) Sytek; children: Josh (Lisa) Sytek and David (Wendy) Sytek; grandchildren: Allison (Brandon) Elliott, Andrew Sytek and Salena Sytek; great grandchildren: Vivian and Leland Elliott; nieces: Kelly Haskill and Melissa Sytek; many other loving family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Leland and Helen Sytek.
