Michael “Jethro” Zadoyko, age 47 of Pompton Lakes died on Friday, July 1, 2011 in a tragic motorcycle accident in Pennsylvania. He was an honorable, kind, and loving man.
Mike was raised in the Pines Lake section of Wayne and graduated from Wayne Hills High School with the class of 1981. After high school, he joined the U. S. Navy and proudly served for four years, mostly in Pawtuxet, Maryland. He has been living in Pompton Lakes with his wife Suzanne since 1993.
Mike was co-owner of Northeast Homeworks, a construction company based in Pompton Lakes and serving northern New Jersey. He enjoyed carpentry and was a very skilled cabinet maker. Motorcycles were his passion though, and he would restore antique bikes as a hobby. He was currently President of the New York Chapter of the Last Chance Motorcycle Club where he was known as “Jethro”. He had been to Daytona many times, Laconia, Nova Scotia, and was planning to go to Sturgis. He absolutely loved to ride.
As a kid, Mike traveled with his family cross-country many times. Of course, he didn’t get to travel in such glorious fashion back then – usually sitting on a cooler in the back of the car for hundreds of miles. None the less, he visited just about all of the 48 contiguous states, many of our National Parks, and he had a love for camping. He and his wife Suzanne had traveled to many places including Mexico, Hershey Park and Disney. Mike’s favorite ride at Disney was the Pirates of the Caribbean which he would go on over and over again, and Buzz Lightyear was a close second.
Mike and Sue married on Valentine’s Day in 1993 and enjoyed eighteen wonderful years together. He was her gentle giant; a sensitive, sweet, adorable, guy who loved her and his children so dearly.
Mike is survived by his loving wife of eighteen years; Suzanne, his dear children; Sarah, Joshua and Hannah, his parents; Kenneth and Carolyn Zadoyko formerly of Pines Lake and currently living in Lake Monticello, Virginia, his two sisters; Cherie Lozosky and her husband Will of Bloomingdale, Karen Williams and her husband Andrew of Stuarts Draft, Virginia, his aunt Carol Buda of Nutley, his grandmother; Catherine Zadoyko of Nutley, nieces and nephews; Willie, Samantha, Grace, Kevin, and Brandon, his mother-in-law and father-in-law; Carolyn and George O’Neill, brother-in-law Garry O’Neill and his wife Georgia formerly of Oakland, and brother-in-law Glenn O’Neill and his wife Melanie of Monroe, New York, and too many dear friends to list them all.
In lieu of flowers, donations to support his children’s education would be greatly appreciated. A fund is being established, but in the mean time, donations can be made payable directly to “Suzanne Zadoyko” and mailed to the Zadoyko family, c/o Vander May Funeral Home, 567 Ratzer Road, Wayne, NJ 07470.
