Karl M. Jancsics, 75, of Quakertown, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, at his home.
Born on June 22, 1948, in Quakertown, he was a son of the late Frank and Pauline (Brawner) Jancsics.
During his high school career, Karl made the decision to pause his formal education and enlist in the United States Marines to serve during the Vietnam War, which he did honorably serving two tours of duty. Upon returning state-side, he completed his studies.
He was the owner and operator for his trucking business, which was leased to Jones Motor Company. He was the first driver to receive the Jones Driver of the Year Award, which was presented to him in 2001. Karl retired in 2020.
Outside of work, he found joy in his weekly breakfast gatherings with friends, as well as tinkering and woodworking.
Notably, Karl was a quiet, gentle man who was happy to help anyone.
He was a member of the American Legion Post 242.
Karl will be lovingly remembered by his wife--with whom he would've celebrated their fifty-third wedding anniversary on May 15: Gail (Clymer) Jancsics; son: Troy Jancsics; daughter: Traci Jancsics; granddaughter: Deserae Lewis (Jaron); two great-grandchildren: Carmella and Kashus Lewis; sister: June Kehs (Donald F. Kehs, deceased); brother: Mark Jancsics (Louise); and nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by a sister: Georgia Haines (William Haines, deceased).
A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, June 23, 2024, at 12:00 pm at Benner Memorial Hall, 1260 East Cherry Road, Quakertown, PA 18951.
