Michael J. Cvejkus, 91, a lifelong resident of Duquesne was embraced by God in the early morning of April 24, 2017 after a brief illness.  He was born in Duquesne on February 25, 1926 to the late Michael and Helen (Koval) Cvejkus and was predeceased by his loving wife Bess (Pakan), beloved daughter Arlene Pastrick and two sisters, Mary Perun and Anna Mae Ondechek.  Michael was an English teacher in the Duquesne school system for 35 years, President of the Duquesne Teacher’s Association and a proud member of the PSEA & NEA.

He often had past students tell him how grateful they were for his tough teaching that benefited them in life.  He was an active member of the Jednota Branch 580, serving as President and most recently Vice-President.  He was a lifelong member of Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church, West Mifflin.  Michael was happiest in his later years spending time with family and took pride in leading the family in prayer for all holidays.  We will remember him ending his Christmas prayer with Vesele’ Vianoce!  He leaves behind his son, Kenneth (Judy), son-in-law David Pastrick and his grandchildren Meghan (Joe), Melissa (Tom), Jeremy, Justin (Taylor), Samantha, Ryan, Evan and seven great-grandchildren.
