Robert Edward Majka

With heavy hearts and loving memories, we announce the passing of Robert Edward Majka on June 2, 2026, at the age of 83.

Robert was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, faithful friend, and a man whose sense of humor could brighten any room. Above all else, Robert cherished his family. He shared 55 wonderful years of marriage with the love of his life, Diane, until her passing. Their bond was one of unwavering love, devotion, and partnership, serving as an example to all who knew them.

Robert was the proud father of Marie (Randy) Majka and Anthony "Tony" (Nathalie) Majka, and the devoted grandfather of Kyle Boyd, who brought immense joy and pride to his life.

For more than 35 years, Robert dedicated his career to Chrysler before enjoying a well-earned retirement. While he took pride in his work, but some of his happiest moments were spent on the baseball field. A lifelong lover of the Detroit Tigers, Robert coached baseball in his younger years and remained especially proud of leading the boys Bronco B team to a State Championship victory; a memory he treasured throughout his life.

Robert found happiness in life's simple pleasures. He loved spending time fishing, searching for hidden treasures with his metal detector, tending to his beloved tomato garden, and enjoying marshmallows and popsicles. He was also passionate about spending time with his family, and together they shared many enjoyable and memorable travels throughout our great country, creating cherished memories that will be treasured for generations. He was known for his outgoing personality, quick wit, and playful spirit. Whether he was sharing a joke, teasing a friend, or simply making others laugh, Robert had a gift for bringing people together and ensuring there was always fun to be had.

One of Robert's greatest companions was his beloved dog, Misty. Their bond was undeniable, and Robert faithfully took her on drives around town three times a day; something they both looked forward to and enjoyed immensely.

A man of deep faith, Robert lived his life with kindness, gratitude, and love for those around him. He was blessed to grow up alongside his brothers and sisters and remained close to his family throughout his life.

Robert is survived by his children, Marie (Randy) Majka and Anthony "Tony" (Nathalie) Majka; his grandson, Kyle Boyd; his siblings, Edward Jr. (Jackie) Michaels, Richard (Sue) Michaels, Debra (Patrick) Walls, and Kenneth Michaels; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Diane Majka; his brother, Lawrence Michaels; and his sister-in-law, Linda Michaels.

Though Robert's presence will be deeply missed, his laughter, stories, faith, and love will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
