Marek Jakub Pluta, age 43 of Wayne passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Thursday October 13, 2016 while receiving the loving care of his family.
Marek was born to Jakub and Maria Pluta in 1973 in Bronx, NY. He was raised in Clifton for most of his childhood until his family moved to Wayne in 1984. Marek graduated from Wayne Valley High School with the class of 1991. Immediately following his graduation he attended Passaic County Community College. He studied there for three years when he decided to put his education to work. For more than ten years he worked as a computer programmer for Big M Corporate Office in Totowa.
Following his employment at Big M, he took a job as an Energy Auditor with North East Energy Conservation, a company that was founded and owned by his friend. This position relocated him to a suburb outside of Fort Worth, TX called Euless. After a few years in Texas, Marek followed North East Energy Conservation back to New Jersey and kept this position until his passing.
Marek enjoyed going fishing and was an avid skier. He also enjoyed cooking, and he could make just about anything, and it all tasted delicious. His favorite place to travel to was the island of Bermuda, which he cruised to with his family on a few occasions. Marek had a huge heart and would help anyone at the drop of a hat. He would go out of his way for everybody and was a wonderful uncle to his nieces and nephews. Although Marek didn’t have children of his own, he dedicated himself to his nieces and nephews and his entire family. He was an extraordinary person who touched the lives of many people and will be sincerely missed by all who knew him.
Marek is survived by his parents Jakub and Maria Pluta of Wayne, two sisters; Donna O’Reilly and her husband Thomas of Rocky Point, NY, and Maria “Mimi” Pluta of Kearny, one brother; Jakub Pluta and his wife Veronica of Wayne, three nieces; Corinne O’Reilly, Isabella Pluta, and Keeley Peterson, four nephews; Zachary DiPatria, Connor O’Reilly, Jakub Pluta Jr., and Eric Peterson, four aunts; Margaret Pluta, Anna Fuhrman, Julia Nierakda, and Maria Gronka, he is also survived by many cousins.
