Obituary of Thomas Majka

Thomas Majka, aged 65, died on December 29, 2024 after a 20-year battle with Parkinson’s disease. Tom is survived by his wife, Penny, his son Jon, and siblings Joe, Kathy, and Dan. Tom was predeceased by his parents John and Ruth, his brother Jim, and his son Jeremy.

Tom was the President of Tri-County Security Systems, Inc. (dba PACS Security) until his retirement in December of 2022. He formed the company at age 27 and was certified by New York State to install and service security systems. He was proud of his accomplishment in building the business with his son, Jon, and had a difficult time letting it go as his Parkinson’s disease progressed.

Tom’s passion was boating, and he spent countless hours on his boat, Moxie, keeping it spotless, maintaining it himself as long as his disease allowed, and enjoying the sunsets with his wife and friends. He was known for his prowess in piloting his boat in tight spaces and learned his skills as a member of the United States Power Squadrons. Those skills were honed on the many overnight trips he took on the New York State Canal System, Lake Ontario, Cayuga Lake, and Seneca Lake. As his mind and body lost their strength, he would often look out the window and comment on the water and boats that only he could see.

There will be no calling hours or services at his request. Donations in his memory can be made to the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
