John Magiske

John Magiske, 93, of Rostraver, died Monday, February 3, 2025. Born September 30, 1931 in Elrama, Pennsylvania, he was the son of the late Ende and Mary (Subecz) Magiske.

John graduated from Clairton High School and worked at a Clairton Chevrolet dealership where he met his beloved wife of over 60 years, the late Mary Louise (Pecsi) Magiske.

John then became a successful insurance executive. He traveled the country and moved to several different cities during his career. When they retired, John and Mary Lou returned to Pennsylvania. He enjoyed traveling the world with Mary Lou, caring for the many pets that they rescued through the years, and hosting large family reunions. He was a devoted member of St. Anne`s Church in Rostraver.

He is survived by many loving nieces and nephews, each with their own fond memories of their Uncle Johnny. He was both grateful and ornery and the family will not be the same without him. He is also survived by his tuxedo cat, Mya, that fiercely loved Uncle Johnny to the exclusion of all others.

In addition to his parents and wife, he was preceded in death by his brothers Andrew Magiske and Mike Magiske.
