Zbigniew “Ziggy” Bronislaw Mazurek, of Berlin, CT, passed away peacefully on December 14, 2025, at the age of 58, surrounded by family and love. After being diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer, he fought for twenty months with unwavering courage and strength, facing his illness with grace.
Born on December 22, 1966, in Bielsko-Biala, Poland, Zbigniew immigrated to the United States in 1989 to build a life in America. He was a hard-working, skilled general home contractor and home builder who spent over 25 years building and fixing homes that provided comfort and security to many families. The homes he built stand as a testament to his quality of work, talent, and vision. Most meaningfully, he built the home where his family lived their entire lives and where his family continues to reside today. Every nail he hammered and every tree he planted are everlasting symbols of his love, dedication, and care. He had the ability to fix anything and always had a story to tell. His witty sense of humor brought laughter to his family and friends, with a creativity and uniqueness that could never be replicated. His work ethic impressed everyone who came across him, but no matter what, he always showed up for his family and friends.
Zbigniew was a dedicated family man and a loving husband and father. His life was defined by love, integrity, and quiet strength. A devoted husband to Anna for 32 years, they shared a life built on love, partnership, and unwavering support. As a doting father to Marta and Robert, he was a constant source of guidance, encouragement, and unconditional love. He was truly a remarkable husband, father, and selfless man. He was a pillar of strength and the epitome of hard work, dedication, and love. He was always happy, finding joy in the “little things” in life. He was extremely humble throughout his entire life; he would always rather give than receive and never expected anything in return.
He found his greatest joy in spending time with family and friends. He enjoyed being outdoors, skiing in the winter, spending time at the beach in the summer, and watching soccer year-round. He had a passion for food and enjoyed cooking. A true enthusiast of cars, he always enjoyed attending car shows. His favorite place to travel was Europe, especially Poland, where his roots are.
He will always be remembered for his deep love for his family, his sense of humor, hard work, dedication, and strength. His love lives on in the home he built and the family he devoted his life to. He will be greatly missed and forever remembered by those who had the privilege of knowing him.
Zbigniew is survived by his loving wife, Anna, and his two children, Robert and Marta. He is also survived by his brother, Wojciech, his wife Dorota, and their children, Wiktor and Lena, who reside in Poland. Zbigniew was predeceased by his parents, Jadwiga and Andrzej Mazurek, of Bielsko-Biala, Poland.
Many thanks go to Franciscan Home Care and Hospice for their compassionate care and support.

Zbigniew „Ziggy” Bronislaw Mazurek z Berlina (Connecticut) odszedl w spokoju 14 grudnia 2025 roku, w wieku 58 lat, otoczony rodzina i miloscia. Po diagnozie czwartego stadium raka trzustki przez dwadziescia miesiecy walczyl z choroba z niezachwiana odwaga i sila, stawiajac jej czola z godnoscia.
Urodzil sie 22 grudnia 1966 roku w Bielsku-Bialej. W 1989 roku wyemigrowal do Stanów Zjednoczonych, aby zbudowac tam swoje zycie. Byl pracowitym i wykwalifikowanym generalnym wykonawca oraz budowniczym domów; przez ponad 25 lat budowal i remontowal domy, które dawaly komfort i poczucie bezpieczenstwa wielu rodzinom. Domy, które wzniósl, sa swiadectwem jakosci jego pracy, talentu i wizji. Najbardziej znaczacy byl jednak dom, który zbudowal dla swojej rodziny — dom, w którym zyli przez cale zycie i w którym jego rodzina mieszka do dzis. Kazdy wbity gwózdz i kazde zasadzone drzewo sa trwalymi symbolami jego milosci, oddania i troski. Potrafil naprawic wszystko i zawsze mial do opowiedzenia jakas historie. Jego blyskotliwe poczucie humoru przynosilo smiech rodzinie i przyjaciolom, a jego kreatywnosc i wyjatkowosc byly nie do podrobienia. Jego etyka pracy imponowala wszystkim, których spotkal, a niezaleznie od okolicznosci zawsze byl obecny dla swojej rodziny i przyjaciól.
Zbigniew byl oddanym czlowiekiem rodziny, kochajacym mezem i ojcem. Jego zycie bylo naznaczone miloscia, uczciwoscia i cicha sila. Przez 32 lata byl oddanym mezem Anny — razem tworzyli zycie oparte na milosci, partnerstwie i nieustajacym wsparciu. Jako troskliwy ojciec Marty i Roberta byl nieustannym zródlem wskazówek, zachety i bezwarunkowej milosci. Byl naprawde wyjatkowym mezem, ojcem i bezinteresownym czlowiekiem. Stanowil filar sily oraz uosobienie ciezkiej pracy, oddania i milosci. Zawsze potrafil cieszyc sie zyciem, znajdujac radosc w „malych rzeczach”. Przez cale zycie pozostawal niezwykle skromny — wolal dawac niz otrzymywac i nigdy nie oczekiwal niczego w zamian.
Najwieksza radosc czerpal ze spedzania czasu z rodzina i przyjaciólmi. Lubil przebywac na swiezym powietrzu, zima jezdzic na nartach, latem spedzac czas na plazy oraz przez caly rok ogladac pilke nozna. Pasjonowal sie jedzeniem i lubil gotowac. Jako prawdziwy milosnik motoryzacji chetnie uczestniczyl w pokazach samochodowych. Jego ulubionym kierunkiem podrózy byla Europa, a szczególnie Polska, z której pochodzil.
Na zawsze pozostanie w pamieci dzieki swojej glebokiej milosci do rodziny, poczuciu humoru, pracowitosci, oddaniu i sile. Jego milosc zyje w domu, który zbudowal, oraz w rodzinie, której poswiecil swoje zycie. Bedzie bardzo brakowac go wszystkim, którzy mieli zaszczyt go znac.
Zbigniew pozostawil pograzona w zalobie zone Anne oraz dwoje dzieci — Roberta i Marte. Pozostawil takze brata Wojciecha, jego zone Dorote oraz ich dzieci, Wiktora i Lene, mieszkajacych w Polsce. Zbigniewa poprzedzili w smierci jego rodzice, Jadwiga i Andrzej Mazurek z Bielska-Bialej.
Serdeczne podziekowania kierujemy do Franciscan Home Care and Hospice za troskliwa opieke wsparcie.
