Stanley D. Plevyak, 77, of Auburn, PA, and formerly of Quakertown, passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 14, 2024, at Lehigh Valley Hospital’s Cedar Crest Campus.

Born on February 7, 1947, in Pottstown, PA, he was a son of the late Stanley D. and Mary (Sostak) Plevyak, Sr.

A graduate of Pottsgrove High School’s Class of 1965, Stanley continued his education by earning a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Studies from Penn State University. 

Following college, he was called upon and honorably served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Upon returning home, he began his career as a Pennsylvania Waterways Conservation Officer, providing 35 years of faithful service to the lakes, streams, creeks and shorelines of the state. 

 An avid fisherman, Stanley spent his 20+ retirement years living on a private lake, where he enjoyed angling/boating, making fishing lures, home improvement projects, and most of all spending time with family and friends.  

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife of 23 years: Cynthia A. Plevyak, who passed away on July 29, 1995.  

Stanley will be lovingly remembered by his son: Brad Plevyak; daughter: Michele Iosue and her husband Glenn; brother: Matthew Plevyak; sister: Deborah Sullivan and her husband Edward; and grandchildren: Caitlyn, Nicholas, Anastasia, and Alexander.  

A viewing will be held on Thursday, December 19, 2024, at St. Isidore’s Catholic Church, 2545 West Pumping Station Road, Quakertown, from 10:00am until the time of Mass of Christian Burial—in church—at 11:00am.  Interment will follow in the parish cemetery.  

Arrangements are in the care of the C.R. Strunk Funeral Home, Inc., Quakertown.
