Michael Dubivsky

Michael R. Dubivsky, 85, of Bayonne passed away on Wednesday, September 20, 2023 at Juniper Village Assisted Living in Chatham, NJ from acute respiratory failure after a battle with dementia.

Michael was born and raised in Bayonne by his parents, the late Michael and Anna Dubivsky (Sivanic). He is predeceased by his brother, Peter (Anne), and sister, Maryann Preziosi (Guido).

Michael served proudly in the United States Army. After serving, he worked for Coca-Cola and as a school maintenance worker for Bayonne public schools. He was a devoted member of St. Mary’s Orthodox Church in Bayonne.

Michael enjoyed watching old classic movies, doing word puzzles and walking everywhere, especially to his favorite place to eat: Alex & Terry’s Corner Deli. But his favorite thing of all was going on cruises to destinations all around the world.

Although Michael never married, there was no shortage of family who loved and cared for him. He was known to most as “Uncle Mickey.” He is survived by his five nieces: C. Susan McCandless (Donald), Diane Smith (Randall), Patricia Hannon (John), Barbara Preziosi (Robert), and Ellen Ulaszek (David). He is predeceased by his nephew, Lawrence Dubivsky.

Michael is also survived by his great nieces and nephews: Christina Hannon Luehring (Andy), Lindsay McCandless Marrero (Efren), Jessica Hannon Clough (Ste), D. Gregory McCandless, Zachary Smith, Katherine Ulaszek Weivoda (Ian), and Rachel Ulaszek.

Michael was lucky enough to know of his great-grand nieces and nephews: Franklin and Benjamin Marrero, John Luehring, and Lily Clough.
