Ronald Glenn Macek, age 82, of Moon Twp., Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on February 13, 2024. Son of the late Florence McCoy Macek and Matthew Macek, devoted husband of Judith L. (Gierl) Macek; loving father of Phoebe Klaer (Michael Hormann) and Daniel (Liz) Macek; proud Papa of Madeline, Alex and Ethan; loving brother of Dennis, Barry, Carol Devilling, and Debra McSweeney. Predeceased by son Michael F. Macek and siblings Loretta, Kenneth, and Roy.
Ron was born in Robinson Twp., Pennsylvania on February 3,1942. He graduated from Montour High School along with wife Judy, but their lifelong love story began a few years later after a chance meeting brought them back together.
Ron valued hard work, following a path blazed by his father and working in the family business installing guard rails. He turned an entry level position at a Mobil oil terminal into a career marked with accomplishments, ending as a regional manager in the petroleum industry. He also consulted on designs for LNG facilities across the United States and even in Puerto Rico. Even after retirement he kept on working, as a driver for Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
Ron’s greatest joy was time spent with his family. He never let work interfere with weekends spent on the sidelines of soccer fields as Dan’s greatest supporter during his childhood. Later, he was in the stands for nearly every one of Alex’s ice hockey games, and in the audience for Maddie and Ethan’s many activities. He was the family transportation director, photographer, master backyard grill chef, lawn manicurist, and fixer of all things. Friends are invited to a memorial gathering on Sunday, February 18 from 1-5pm in the Huntsman Funeral Home & Cremation Services of Moon Twp. (1522 Coraopolis Hts. Rd.). A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish (St. Margaret Mary Church), Moon Twp., on Monday, February 19 at 11AM. Private interment will take place at a later date.
