Dominic Joseph Worchesik passed away on October 12, 2026, at the age of 72. He leaves behind a family who will forever cherish his memory and the moments they shared with him.

Dominic found joy in the simple things in life, especially fishing and hunting alongside his friends, brothers, and nephews. These times outdoors brought opportunities to share stories, laughter, and companionship with the people he loved. The memories made during those days will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew him.

Family was an important part of Dominic’s life. His siblings were a constant presence throughout his journey, sharing in life’s moments and standing beside him through life’s challenges. In his final days, they showed their love in a particularly meaningful way, standing in the gap as his health declined and surrounding him with care, support, and family. Their devotion was a beautiful expression of the lifelong bond they shared.

Dominic is survived by his daughter, Marie Elizabeth Worchesik, and his beloved grandchildren, Oliver and Olivia Mireles, and his dog Oreo.

Dominic was preceded in death by his parents, Ben and Mary Worchesik, and his brother, Felix Worchesik, and wife, Thelma, survives him. He is also survived by his brother, Sylvester Worchesik, and wife, Lillian; his sister, Theresa Bilski, whose husband, Peter, preceded her in death; his sister, Hedwig Konieczny, and her husband, Raymond; his late sister, Lillian Konieczny, and her late husband, Clement; his sister, Frances Majewski, and her husband, David; his sister, Dorothy Meleski, and her husband, Benard; and his sister, Florence Browne, and her husband, Malcolm.

He also leaves behind his cherished nieces and nephews, extended family, and dear friends who will continue to hold his memory close to their hearts.

As family and friends gather to honor Dominic’s life, may they find comfort in their faith, strength in one another, and peace in the memories that will never fade. Though his family will deeply feel his absence, the love he shared, the friendships he treasured, and the memories created with those closest to him will remain.

Forever loved, deeply missed, and always remembered.

“In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:2–3

Douglas Charles Maier Corporal USMC

Douglas Charles Maier, a proud United States Marine and Vietnam veteran, passed away surrounded by the love of his family. He leaves behind a legacy of courage, devotion, and love that will continue through the generations of his family.

Douglas proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps from 1966 to 1969, including his service in Vietnam from 1968 to 1969. His service was a testament to his strength, dedication, and willingness to sacrifice for his country. He carried the pride of being a Marine throughout his life.

Above all, Douglas was a father and grandfather. He is survived by his children, Kenny, John, April, Doug, and Kim, his brothers and sister, Michael, Laura, and Scott, and his 12 grandchildren.

Douglas was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Diane Maier, his father, John Maier, and his mother, Kathrine Maier.

His family will remember him for the life he lived, the strength he showed, the sacrifices he made, and the memories he created with those he loved. His children and grandchildren will carry his memory forward and keep his legacy alive for generations to come.

Douglas will be remembered not only as a proud Marine and Vietnam veteran, but as a husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend. Though he is no longer with us, the love he gave and the memories he left behind will remain forever in the hearts of his family.

Semper Fi, Dad.

You served your country with honor.
You loved your family with all your heart.
Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Your legacy will live on through your children and grandchildren.
Rest peacefully, Douglas Charles Maier.
You are loved. You are remembered. You are forever missed.
