Michael David Pazdziorko Sr., 74, passed away peacefully on December 6, 2025, at his home in Broadway, NC, surrounded by his loved ones.

Born a simple man who found joy in life's quieter moments, Michael was a proud U.S. Army veteran who carried his service with humility. He enjoyed fishing, eating crabs, and relaxing with his favorite TV shows—small comforts that brought him great happiness.

In addition to his parents, Aloysius and Josephine Pazdziorko, Michael was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Helen Pazdziorko, and his grandson, Michael David Pazdziorko III.

He is survived by his son, Michael David Pazdziorko Jr.; his daughters, Jennifer Stambaugh (fiancé, Dan) and Crystal Barnes (husband, Wes). He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren: Marcedes Stambaugh, Taylor Farmer (husband, Dale), Selena Morrison, Travis Michael, Breannah Riggs, Danielle Stambaugh, Lestat Neighoff, Austin Cassell, Thomas Neighoff, Hailee Pazdziorko, and Camden Watts; as well as great-grandchildren Zoey Barker, Chloe Mock, Liam Lewis, and Skylar Harvey. Michael is also survived by several brothers and sisters who will remember him with love.

A private celebration of life will be held for the family at a later date.

Michael will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
