Victor, the son of Margaret Potegowska Le Beau and Wojtek Dziegielewski was born in Morristown, New Jersey.  He resided in Rockaway, New Jersey for twenty-two years before moving to Wharton seven years ago and during the last three years, Victor spent a lot of time with his great aunt in Springfield, New Jersey.

Victor was a 2018 Bachelor of Science graduate of the Rutgers University School of Environmental and Biological Sciences.  He worked as an equipment assembler and inspector for R & D Microwave in Boonton Township.  His current endeavor was in the self-employment field, carving out a name for himself as an all-round handyman.

Victor loved nature and being outdoors and hiking, camping and kayaking were high on his list of things to do.   He enjoyed the adventurous sport of off-road dirt bike racing and Victor was also known to swing a club playing golf and do a bit of skiing, as well.  In fact he was great in a variety of sports.  The other, more mellow side of his nature was exuded when his fingers touched the ivory keys of the piano.  Although he came late to the art of piano playing, he was so very gifted.  He adored playing classical music, especially Chopin, Mozart, Bach and Schubert.  Victor had the innate ability to make everyone around him laugh and he was constantly helping family, friends and even strangers.  Victor simply couldn’t refuse anyone.

Victor was predeceased by his maternal grandmother, Maria Potegowska and his paternal grandparents, Jadwiga Dziegielewska and Zbigniew Dziegielewski.

In addition to his parents Margaret Potegowska Le Beau and Wojtek Dziegielewski, Victor is survived by his sister, Marta Dziegielewski; his fiancé, Ewa Kowalczyk; his maternal grandfather, Tadeusz Potegowski and his great aunt, Zofia Golebiewska.

Victor was a free spirit, a sensitive soul and a talented man who made friends easily.  He was the bright light on our candle that was extinguished way too soon.  Our hearts are broken, as we ask for healing prayers for our family as well as prayers for Victor.  May Victor be blessed with Eternal Rest with Our Lord and His heavenly host of angels.
