It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Oleg Myskiw, whose generous nature impacted numerous lives. Oleg passed away on Thursday, April 9th, due to pancreatic cancer.

He is survived by his wife of 26 years, Lana, his children, Maria, Alexander, and Kira, as well as his grandchildren, Madison, Roman, and Zoriana.

Oleg was born in 1951 in Newark, NJ. He graduated from Seton Hall University with degrees in Business and History. To assist his father in managing the family meat market and liquor store, he spent six months studying wine in France. Although he briefly attended law school, he chose to follow his passion for politics, winning the Republican Party’s nomination for State Assemblyman from the 28th District in New Jersey at the age of 26. Throughout his political career, he had the opportunity to meet prominent figures such as President Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, George H. W. Bush, and Ukrainian President Krawchyk.

After his political career, Oleg transitioned into business, working for Lockheed Martin, and later became the Vice President of Casino Control Systems, a start-up focused on innovative technology for chip counting. With both parents hailing from Ukraine, he was a strong supporter of Ukrainian causes and remained actively involved in the Ukrainian community. For the rest of his life, he worked in car sales for Mercedes Benz, Volvo, and Subaru.

He is preceded in death by his father and mother, Michael and Daria Myskiw, as well as his three sisters, Maria, Luba, and Christina. Oleg was remembered for his sharp wit, steadfast kindness, and affectionate demeanor. He had a passion for flowers and consistently sought to bring joy to others through humor or generous acts. He was the type of person who would give his last dime to assist someone in need.

At his request, services are private.
