Myles Joseph Voracek, age 86

Myles Joseph Voracek, age 86, of South St. Paul, died peacefully on April 12th at The Lodge on Natchez, surrounded by family. He was born on August 14, 1930 outside of New Prague to Adolph and Rose Voracek. On October 15, 1955, Myles married the love of his life, MaryAnn (Mikolasek), at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in New Prague.

Myles worked as a professional truck driver for many years. He was extremely handy, spending many hours in his shop making wood crafts, workbenches, and anything his family and friends could dream up. In retirement, Myles and Mary worked on their craft projects together, gardened, made many trips to Las Vegas with friends, and took their grandkids on vacations across the country. He was fortunate to be surrounded by an extended family in his South Saint Paul neighborhood, who were brought together for many special occasions by Myles and Mary’s generous hospitality.

Myles was preceded in death by his loving wife Mary and daughter Margaret and is survived by his grandchildren Jessica (Wade) Snyder, New Prague; Brooke Bezek (Gary Mincoff), Chippewa Falls, WI; Joseph Bezek, US Army-Ft. Carson; great-grandchildren, Drew and Brinley Snyder; sisters Evelyn (Francis) Novak; Marie (John) Novak; son-in law Mark Bezek; brother and sisters-in-law and many nieces, nephews and special neighbors.

Visitation 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Sunday April 30th at Kandt & Tetrick Funeral Home, 140 8th Ave No., So. St. Paul and at the church 1 hour before Mass on Monday.
