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.

Besides his mother and father, he is survived by paternal grandparents Ed and Linda Przylucki of Carolina Shores NC, maternal grandmother JoAnne Huxley of Rome NY,  his older sister and her husband Crystal and Michael Bielby of Verona NY (parents of Logan and Luna with baby Lucian on the way), his younger sister and her husband Rebecca and Alex Lopez of Jacksonville NC, his uncle Erik Kenney of Rome NY, and cousins Kaitlyn Kenney of Marcy NY, Eryn Kenney of Oneonta NY as well as several extended cousins. Michael also leaves behind a large number of friends that cared very deeply for him. Some of his closest friends were Natalie Williams, Chet Bottorff, and Zachariah Johnson, all of Utica NY. They worked together on a variety of projects and his family wishes to thank them for being such good friends to him. To know him was to love him. His good heart and caring nature touched many and he will be missed dearly by all.
