David "Twitch" Lynn Pisczek, 67, of Durham, went to be with the Lord peacefully on Friday, August 4, 2023, at his home. David fought a long and hard battle against cancer for over 4 years and lived fully during that time.
He was born in Johnstown, PA on December 10, 1955, to Stella Korcel Pisczek, who still survives him, and the late John Stanley Pisczek.
David was tough and a fighter. He waged his own mental battle with cancer and won by moving forward with life and living every day fully; nothing held him back. David was a master craftsman and there was no problem or challenge he could not find a solution to. We called him MacGyver because he could always find a fix.
He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Margaret "Meg" Dick Pisczek; his children, David John Pisczek and his wife, Heather; Jennifer Lynn Found and her husband, Scott; Katie Elizabeth Pisczek and Ashleigh Nicole Pisczek; his brothers, John S. Pisczek, Jr and his wife, Heidi; Dennis A. Pisczek and his wife, Terri; and Gary J. Pisczek and his wife, Yvette; his grandchildren, Kara, Morgan, Caleb, Chase and Marley; a host of nieces, nephews, in-laws, and out-laws, other relatives and friends.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, August 19, 2023, at 11 am at Mt. Bethel Presbyterian Church, 3541 Rose of Sharon Rd., Durham NC 27712.
The family will receive friends for a Celebration of David's Life immediately following the memorial service at Umstead Pines at Willowhaven, 253 Country Club Drive, Durham.

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ the staff at First Cremation Society
With my deepest heartfelt sympathy, condolences and prayers are extended to Jennifer and the Pisczek family. God whispered in his ear, extended his hand and said, come with me, now take your rest. The Heavenly Angels gave him his wings and he flew home to Heaven. He saw the hill was getting hard to climb, so God speared him, called him home to rest from the fruits of his labor and be set free. Family, keep his legacy of a life will lived with the many everlasting memories very close to your hearts as he will always be with each of you. May you find comfort in the days ahead knowing Mr. Pisczek is now safe in Heaven wrapped in God's arms and peacefully at eternal rest. God Bless. Lovingly, Angela Jeffers Chapman, Culpeper, VA.
