Jacek Para

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jacek Para, who left us on the morning of March 29, 2025. Jacek was born on January 20, 1958, in Bialy Dunajec, Poland, and lived a life full of love and devotion to his family and friends.

Jacek was known for his hard work, always putting in the effort to provide for his family. He took great pride in his many skills and loved to share his wisdom and knowledge with others, always ready to let you know how things could be done better. A man of great humor and endless jokes, Jacek loved to bring smiles to those around him. His warm heart and sense of humor will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

In his final years, Jacek’s priorities were solidified, and he came to understand that the most important things in life were the moments spent with loved ones. He cherished the time spent talking, joking, checking in on those he cared about, and sharing all that he had. Those who were close to him felt the warmth of his presence and the depth of his love,

He is survived by his four children: Zyndram (Allison), Michal, Maksymilian, and Julianna (Matthew), and his wife Anna. He had a deep love for his children and was incredibly proud of them all. Above all else, Jacek was a proud grandfather to three granddaughters who brought him immeasurable joy: Riley, Amelia, and Emily. His life was forever changed by grandfatherhood, and for the past seven years, he devoted himself to his granddaughters, cherishing every moment spent with them. They were the center of his world.

He is also survived by his siblings, his beloved sister Halina, brothers Stanislaw (Maria), and Andrzej (Malgorzata), who were a source of support and love throughout his life. Jacek was also deeply loved by his nephew David, who brought him so much pride, as well as by his many great friends, who will miss his humor and presence. Jacek was preceded in death by his parents, Andrzej and Aniela. May they all rest in eternal peace, and may their souls be embraced by God's love as Jacek joins them.

A Celebration of Jacek’s Life will be held on Thursday, April 10, 2025, from 12:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. with a Memorial Service beginning at 4:00 P.M. at Skyline Funeral Home and Memorial Park (24800 S.
