Lewis George Zahradnek

Lewis George Zahradnek passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 14, 2015, at his home in Auburn, WA. Born to Margaret and Albert Zahradnek on November 23, 1941, he lived in Auburn, WA for his whole life. He graduated from Auburn Senior High School in 1960 and married Kathryn Wehmer in 1961. He worked for the Boeing Company as a technical aid in the Engineering Department. He retired after 42 years of service.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Margaret and Albert Zahradnek, and his wife, Kathryn Zahradnek. He is survived by his children, Natalie (Marty) Smith, Doug (DeeDee) Zahradnek, and Jenny Zahradnek; his grandchildren, Laura (Mike) Shore, Mandy (Ben) Wheeler, and Matthew (Kayla) Smith; and his great grandchildren, Makenna Shore, Cooper Shore, Josiah Smith, Jacob Smith, and Lily Wheeler; his sister Ruth (Jim) Fletcher, and many nieces and nephews.

Lewis in his younger days loved the outdoors. He loved bowling, softball, hunting, fishing, and to go camping with family and friends. In his later years, he was Kathryn’s caretaker and taxi cab. Although we are very sad at his passing, the family knows that he is back again with Kathy. Lewis was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and a friend to many and will be greatly missed.

At Lewis’s request, there will not be a service.
