Albert Leo Jezyk, age 88, of Landenberg, PA, passed away on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.
Born in Newark, DE on September 29, 1936, he was a son of the late Leo Adams and Dorothy (Aiken) Jezyk. Albert proudly served in the United States Navy. He made his career as a lab technician at DuPont Co. until his retirement.
Albert was a lifelong member of the United Methodist Church, attending Ebenezer United Methodist as a child, Kemblesville and New London United Methodist Churches as an adult. He served these churches with his many talents in sports, stewardship, alter guild and maintenance. He also enjoyed giving back to his community as a member of the Odd Fellows. Albert was a natural athlete and leader, on and off the field. He had a passion for sports, playing, coaching and watching. He participated in many local sports leagues and was a coach for the Newark Area Football League. He especially loved to spend his time outdoors and could often be found playing horseshoes, hunting, fishing, or boating. Albert spent countless hours tending to his large vegetable and flower garden. Most of all Albert was dedicated to his family and cherished his many friendships.
In addition to his parents, Albert was preceded in death by his wife, Thelma (Gray) Jezyk; and siblings, Helen Lamiet and Frank A. Jezyk. He is survived by his children, Albert L. Jezyk, Jr. and Laura Jezyk Geiman; grandchildren, Lindzy Davis, Ian Geiman, and Neil Geiman; and numerous nieces and nephews that he treasured.

My condolences to the family. He was always so uplifting.
William Rogers
Albert was a great man. He was a fine example on how the male of our species should be and act. Always a smile on his face and kind words when we would meet. What a gentleman! He and Thelma would always make me feel welcome whenever we saw each other. Albert loved like Jesus loved, without any judgement. Albert loved God and God surely loved him. They are all together in Heaven now. Albert will be missed by many of us still here, but if we love like he loved we will be together again with our Lord, and if we are to eat, Betty and I will be wanting some of that great grilled chicken he made.

Our prayers and thoughts are with your family and send our deepest sympathy on Alberts passing. Such a great and happy man we will miss a lot. Albert set a great example of love and kindness. He was without a doubt full of the Holy Spirit. I am sure he is standing beside Thelma in Heaven with our Lord and Savior.

To the Jezyk family: My heartfelt sympathy and prayers are with you during this very sad time. My memories of Albert are of the Stine Lab days and the get-togethers. I remember the time that Thelma and I went into the pond, fully clothed! Albert was one of the really good guys, always with a smile, always ready to help, always ready to talk about sports, and, most of all, always talking about his family. We all were fortunate to know him.

I will miss you. You were a good and kind and decent man.
More of mankind should be like you. We would be the better for it.

Albi: So sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. Several years ago we had a chance to spend several hours talking with him. During that time many people approached him to greet him as a good friend and pay their respects. The reason became obvious as we spent time with him – he was a good man.
Ron & Lynne Jezyk

Barbi Dieter (Bodycot)
So sorry for your loss. It was an honor to have known Mr. Al most of my life because of his friendship with my dad, Bob Bodycot. Mr. Al came to see my dad when he was in the nursing home in 2023 before he passed away, and it was so nice to talk with him and catchup a little. Now he and my dad can rekindle their friendship again.
