Our hearts are heavy as we learn of the passing of Steve Pastusak, who dedicated so much to Jolly Roger Amusement Park. His passion, kindness, and leadership shaped a place that brings joy to so many. He will forever be in our hearts. Sending love to his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

It is with a heavy heart that we reflect on the remarkable contributions of Steve Pastusak, an exceptional leader and mentor. Steve exuded a genuine sense of positivity and was astutely perceptive in group dynamics, demonstrating a sharp intellect that guided his decision-making. His candidness about societal challenges encouraged constructive dialogue, and he had a unique ability to identify the most pressing issues while steering his team through the season at Jolly Roger Amusement Park.

Steve was an unwavering support, always available when needed, and his deep commitment to his colleagues was evident in his actions. He fostered an environment where team members could express differing opinions—reminiscent of siblings—while also instilling a sense of accountability. Disappointment from him was a reflection of his high standards, motivating us to improve and grow.

Affectionately known for his lively personality, Steve's attention to detail was clear in everything he did, from his colorful attire at golf outings to meticulously planned family trips. He prioritized his family above all, passionately coaching sports and mentoring young athletes, embodying the true spirit of sportsmanship.

His kindness and generosity touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him. Steve consistently made time for his children's athletic events and orchestrated meaningful family getaways, instilling the value of living life to the fullest in all of us. He was a teacher, always offering valuable lessons; he was a counselor, providing solace when needed; and he was a source of comfort during challenging times. He naturally made you want to be better, and he always stood on the side of right.

Steve will forever remain in our hearts as a guiding light, leaving behind a legacy that inspires us all to carry forward his values of kindness, community, and dedication to family.
