Johnny Pasek, longtime resident of Prior Lake, passed away March 11, 2020 at the age of 80. A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, March 17th at 11AM with a visitation at 9:30AM at Bethel’s Rock Church, 6300 212th Street West, Farmington. Johnny will be laid to rest at Concord Hill Cemetery with Pastor Kent Boyum presiding.
Pallbearers will be Brandon Hallum, Roger Pasek, Mike Hallum, Stephen Pasek, Tom Raduenz, Jimmy Volek, Joe Volek, and Dawson Hallum.
On May 22, 1939 in New Prague, MN, parents James and Mary (Cecka) Pasek celebrated the birth of their son, John Francis Pasek. He was the youngest of five children to be raised outside New Prague on the family farm.
While attending Spring Lake Dance Hall, Johnny was smitten when his eye caught the beauty of Lois Beuch who was celebrating her 16th birthday. After two years of dating, Johnny and Lois exchanged wedding vows on August 26, 1961 at Lydia Zion United Methodist Church. They were blessed with 58 years together.
Along with their children, Johnny and Lois loved creating memories on the lake—fishing locally or driving up north to spend time in Brainerd, Duluth, and Grand Rapids. Every year the family would attend the Minnesota State Fair, a tradition still carried on with Johnny’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Johnny had a way of making everyday moments something worth remembering. Whether it was driving around the countryside or into the cities, he made it an adventure for his children.
Throughout life Johnny was a hardworking man. His lifelong motto was “gotta be done!” He put in the time and effort to provide for those he loved. Over the years, he worked in many capacities—laying sod, making cabinets, doing commercial construction, and driving truck. Johnny most enjoyed working at the Lydia Feed Mill and Wunder, Klein & Donahue.
Despite enduring numerous health issues, Johnny’s persistent desire to live fully never faltered. He was dedicated to working hard, loving his family, and accepting each day as it was. Johnny was compassionate, generous, and kindhearted. He is loved and missed by his wife, Lois; Cheryl (Mike) Hallum, Stephen Pasek, Marlene Pasek; grandchildren, Brandon (Carrie) Hallum, Brittany Hallum; great-grandchildren, Dawson, Blake, Breanna, Jayden, and Grayson; many other loving relatives and friends.
Johnny is greeted in Heaven by his parents, James and Mary, and his siblings, James Pasek, Marion Speikers, Elsie Pasek, and Dorothy Dvorak.

Lois and family;
So sad to hear of uncle Johnnys passing. I will always remember him as strong, compassionate and owning the biggest heart there is!
I still reminisce with my family about the 4th of July parties held on the farm… they had more fireworks than some of the area town celebrations, and the best food in the county. Those were simpler times when families and cousins celebrated together. And oh what fun we had!!
I know uncle Johnny had family lined up waiting to welcome him in to heaven and I bet the plans are being made for the upcoming Fourth of July celebration.
I’m sending hugs-love-prayers.
Jayne and Kent
Lois, Cheryl, Steve , Marlene and family,
So sad to hear of John passing, he was a very kind man. He loved family gatherings and even when not feeling well, he still came. My heart is saddened for you all and prayers are being sent your way.
Love you
I got to know Johnny through his visits to St Francis, He was always upbeat and loved giving me a hard time and asking if i had seen his friend Ron Grossman lately.
I will miss seeing him come in and stop to visit.
