Eugeniusz Barcewicz, a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on April 6, leaving behind a legacy of strength, sacrifice, and unwavering love for his family.
Born in western Russia during a time of great turmoil, Eugeniusz's early life was shaped by the aftermath of World War II. He and his family were forced to relocate to Poland, where he grew up under the challenges of communist rule. Despite the hardships, Eugeniusz built a life rooted in hard work, resilience, and deep responsibility to those he loved.
He began his professional life in Poland as a physics, chemistry, Russian Language, and physical education teacher, a role that reflected his intellect and disciplined nature. Later, when his wife, Krystyna, won a green card in the U.S. immigration lottery, Eugeniusz made the brave decision to start anew in America. Together, they moved to New York City, where he adapted to his new life by taking on physically demanding work in construction. His quiet determination and tireless work ethic laid the foundation for a better future for his family.
After retiring, Eugeniusz and Krystyna moved to Fort Myers, Florida, to enjoy the sunshine and to be closer to their grandchildren, Sebastian and Christian. Though he was a stern and steady presence, his love for his family was deep.
Eugeniusz was a man of few words but strong convictions. He valued tradition, education, and hard work. His expectations were high because he believed in the potential of his children and grandchildren, and he wanted nothing more than to see them succeed.
He is survived by his three sons: Marek (and his wife Agata), Darek (and his wife Kasia), and Alex (and his wife Lynette), as well as his grandsons, Sebastian and Christian. He is reunited in peace with his beloved wife, Krystyna.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated 10:30 A.M. Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at Resurrection Catholic Church, Riverview, with the family receiving friends one hour prior to the Mass.
