JOHN R. "JACK"

Age 83, of North Huntingdon, formerly of Hays, passed away on Thursday, July 17, 2025, at Forbes Hospital, after a long and hard battle. Born in Munhall, he was the oldest child of the late John A. and Sarah J. Worton.

He will be dearly missed by his wife of 61 years, Donna L. Carnegie; son, John R. Shimko, Jr.; daughter-in-law, Stephanie Shimko; and grandkids, Victoria Diak (Nick), Julianna and Hunter whom he loved dearly. Additionally, Jack is survived by his sisters-in-law, Angie and Carol; along with his brother-in-law, Jack Tener; in addition to his numerous nieces and nephews.

Jack was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Lori B. Shimko; along with his brothers, James and Ronald; and his sister, Sandra Tener.

Jack loved many things and among those many things were his vegetable garden, cooking, golfing and hunting. He also spent many winter months in Davenport, Florida among his wife, family and friends. Most of all, Jack loved being with his family. He was an avid Pittsburgh sports fan and enjoyed watching his grandkids play the sports they loved. Jack will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

The family extends their deepest gratitude to all the doctors, nurses, and staff, who provided compassionate care to Jack during his time of need.

Per the wishes of the family, all services for John R. "Jack" Shimko are private.
