Michael J. Gladnick

Michael J. Gladnick, 55, of Hazle Township, passed away Sunday afternoon, June 8, 2025, at Lehigh Valley Hospital - Cedar Crest in Allentown, following a nearly 4 year illness.

Born in Hazleton, April 4, 1970, he was the son of the late Joseph and Margaret (Corvino) Gladnick and spent his entire life in Hazle Township.

Michael graduated from West Hazleton High School class of 1988 and from Penn State University with a BS in Business Management in 1992. He was most recently employed as a Finance Insurance Manager for Faulkner Chevrolet and Cadillac in Bethlehem. Prior to working at Faulkner, he had a very successful career as a General Manager at many local restaurants.

Mike was a fun-loving, intelligent individual, who adored a great party, a good cigar, a glass of bourbon and a soak in his hot tub. He cherished all animals, especially dogs, and loved his dog Koda like a son. Mike liked going for motorcycle rides, driving his Jeep, and experimenting on his BBQ grill but his greatest joy was spending time with his family and closest friends.

Surviving are his cousins, Louis A. Napolitano, Morristown, NJ; Nicole Napolitano and her daughter, Genevieve Cavicchia, East Hanover, NJ; Jeannie Corvino Beaton and family, Lisa Lewis and family, and many close friends that were like family to him.

His funeral will be held with a Memorial Visitation on Saturday, June 14, 2025, from 10 AM to 12 PM from Harman Funeral Homes & Crematory, Inc. (East), 669 West Butler Drive, Drums. Interment will take place privately at the convenience of his family.
