It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Wieslaw/Wesley Snietka, beloved husband, father, and brother, of Braintree, Massachusetts. Wieslaw passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with Alzheimer's.
Wesley was a hardworking commercial fisherman, whose love for the ocean ran deep. The sea was not only his livelihood, but his passion — a place where he found peace, purpose, and joy.
Wesley is survived by his devoted wife, Gosia Snietka, and his cherished daughters, Magdalena Twaróg, Anna Molga, and stepchildren Karol and Agata Malinowski. He also leaves behind his dear sister Lena Krówka, her husband Wieslaw, and nieces Claudia and Caroline, who held a special place in his heart.
A Mass in his memory will be held on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at 11:00 AM at St. Mary’s Our Lady of Czestochowa, located at 655 Dorchester Ave, Boston, MA 02127. A memorial reception for friends and family will follow immediately after the service.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to the Fishing Partnership Support Services, an organization dedicated to the health and well-being of fishing families: https://fishingpartnership.org.
