Michael “Mikey” C. Przylucki Jr., forever 29, of Verona NY, passed away suddenly on August 28, 2023.

     Michael was born in Rome, NY on February 14, 1994. He was the son of Dulcey "Beth" (Kenney) Przylucki of Verona NY and Michael C. Przylucki Sr. of Durhamville NY. He resided in Utica, and previously lived in Charlotte NC, with plans to return to NC soon.
    

      He graduated from Vernon Verona Sherrill School District in 2012 where he enjoyed studying music, computers and drama club. Michael was proud to be a jack of all trades as well as a handy man. He enjoyed building and fixing computers, working in auto mechanics, carpentry and home remodeling and repairs. He also enjoyed a variety of outdoor activities to include biking, hiking, camping and had a special love of fishing, with plans to start a new chapter on ocean fishing boats in the Carolinas. More than anything he enjoyed being around his family, especially his beloved nephew and niece, Logan and Luna.
