In Loving Memory of Jeffrey "Jeff" Edward Bzdawka
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Jeffrey "Jeff" Edward Bzdawka, on the evening of Wednesday, March 19, 2025, after a courageous eight-year battle with cancer. Born on September 24th, 1954, to Frank and Rosemary Bzdawka. Jeff grew up with a passion for creativity and hard work. He attended Boy's Tech High School before earning a degree in graphic arts and later built a successful career as an Office Furniture Project Manager.
Jeff was a gifted artist, an avid reader and a passionate traveler. He cherished time with his family and was known for his kindness, generosity and sense of humor. He had an incredible way of making people feel valued-when you spoke, he truly listened. His presence brought warmth, laughter and a deep sense of care to all who knew him.
Jeff was a devoted husband of 44 years to his beloved wife, Jackie, a loving father to Brian (Ashley), Scott and Rachel (Chris) Czernisz, and a proud grandfather to Zoe, Avery, Dax and Drew. He was a caring brother to Nancy, Becky and Matt (Val), as well as a cherished brother-in-law to David (Charlotte) Marifke and Gary (Lisa) Marifke. Jeff will be deeply missed by his many friends and extended family members.
Even in passing, Jeff would want you to know that if asked how he is doing, his answer would still be "Excellent. Thank you for asking."
Family and friends are invited to celebrate Jeff's life on April 11, 2025, at Hartson Funeral Home with a gathering from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM followed by a service at 5:00 PM.
His memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him.
