John T. Motyka

John Motyka, age 70, son of the late Jennie A. Sokol Motyka and Victor Motyka from South Attleboro Massachusetts, passed away near his home of the last fifteen years in West Palm Beach, Florida. He leaves behind a daughter Kelly; and a son Scott, with his wife Lisa, and their son Braedon; a brother Victor, and his wife Vanessa; and a host of amazing friends, coworkers, and extended family. John Motyka left this mortal realm in the same manner he lived his life... with kindness, smiles, and a sense of humor, making an impression on everyone he met. John's affection for entertaining others began at an early age, where as a teenager he won numerous national and international music competitions for accordian performance. He graduated with honors from Bishop Feehan High School, and taught music and played keyboard in bands for most of his life, while keeping his day job at Leach and Garner, and later at Sysco, where he eventually retired. At any given moment he could be found at a local party drinking beer, enjoying a Golabki, and improvising a Polish Polka for the crowd on any available accordion. John loved his children and cherished his family and friendships greatly. He will be missed dearly. Following his wishes, there will be a "simple service" at Palms West Funeral Home, 110 Business Park Way, Royal Palm Beach FL 33411, on Thursday, May 2, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. For his family and friends in the New England area, a service will be offered on Saturday, May 4, 2019 at 2:30 p.m. at Newell Cemetery & Burying Ground, 1502 West St., Attleboro, MA 02703. Details are pending on the gathering following the cemetery service. Well-wishers attending his services are encouraged to share their memories or tell a funny story in his honor.
