Brian Marchewka Obituary

Brian William Marchewka, 47, of Muse, died unexpectedly Wednesday, July 8, 2020.

He was born October 10, 1972, in Washington, a son of William and Barbara Ferri Marchewka.

Brian worked in many aspects of construction industry, which he learned early by working side by side with his Pappy, Frank (Madeline) Ferri. He was a member of Holy Rosary Catholic Church, in Muse. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and trips to the beach, as well as cooking and grilling with his family and friends, and spending time with his dogs.

On August 10, 2012, he married Laurie Zinsmeister Marchewka, who survives. Also surviving are his mother, Barbara Ferri Marchewka; his sister, Karla (William) Fortwangler; his stepdaughters, Amber Sedlitsky and Alyssa Sedlitsky (Jeff Stanish); and his father and mother-in-law, Richard and Joann Zinsmeister; Grandma Vi; brothers and sisters-in-law, Michael Zinsmeister, JT (Linda) Smith, Amy (Chuck) Yater and Jeffrey (Stephanie) Zinsmeister.

Brian was preceded in death by his father, William Marchewka. He leaves behind beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, friends and animals.

With a keen sense of humor and never ending smile, Brian touched the lives of many with his selflessness, compassion and generosity.
