John Richard Pelc

April 22, 1958 - July 29, 2019

CROSWELL- John Richard Pelc, age 61, lived in the Croswell area his entire life, passed away on Monday, July 29, 2019 in his home. He was always a “keep busy” and “live-in-the-moment” kind of guy. He was born April 22, 1958 in Port Huron, to John A. and Lucy (Fenner) Pelc. John married Deborah Flannigan on June 21, 1989 in Carsonville. John played softball well into his forties, and he came away with many trophies to show for it. After his softball years, he got into fishing and would take every chance he got to get out on the lake with his friends. He owned and operated his own lawn business for over 20 years. He could do almost any job related to mechanics, construction, welding, and home repair, and he was always willing to go out of his way to help others using those skills. When it came to family, John loved to go for drives to take in the scenery with his wife, Deborah; watch sports with his daughter, Debbie, and son-in-law, Alex Jovanovic; and work at the lawn business and restore the classic truck he owned with his son, John. His family deeply appreciates the love and support they’ve received from all friends, family, and community at this time. A Memorial Service will be held on 11:30 A.M. on Saturday, August 17 at the Bethel Missionary Church, 7975 Bricker Rd., Yale, MI. Memorials may be made to the United Hospice.
