Michael Matejak, 67, passed away at the Palos Hospital on April 22, 2020 due to complications of the COVID 19 virus.
In 1952, he was born in Springfield, Massachusetts to parents Sophie Kopec Matejak and Jan Matejak. Though born in Massachusetts he was a true Illinoisan, loving everything about his town, Chicago. He sounded like a native Chicagoan and embraced everything that was Chicago. Graduating from Oak Lawn Community High School, he went on to attend the University of Illinois, graduating with a degree in business. Michael had a great love of music and was an accomplished musician, having won recognition at state competitions. From the Beatles to the polka he loved it all. Professionally Michael worked in South Bend, Indiana for a number of years before returning to Oak Lawn. Although a great fan of all sports, the Cubs were #1 for him.
He is survived by cousins, Judith McPhail, Ronald LaMontagne, and Laura Bachard. He will be interred at Holy Sepulchre Catholic Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois.
