Stefan Baraniak

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Stefan, (age 69) devoted husband, loving father, and cherished grandfather.

He was the loving husband of 46 years to his beloved Michalina; the loving father of Justyna and Szymon; father-in-law to Olivia; and the adoring grandfather of Nikolas and Aleksander. He was also the father of Michal, who passed away a few years ago and whose memory he carried deeply in his heart.

He was a man with a larger-than-life personality—quick-witted, sharp, and never without a story or a joke to share. His kindness ran deep, even if it was sometimes wrapped in a spirited temper that those who loved him knew well and embraced as part of his fire.

A man of many talents, he moved effortlessly from the kitchen to the garden, could fix just about anything, and even in earlier years played the saxophone with a natural musical flair. 

Above all, he loved his children endlessly and was profoundly proud of the people they’ve become.He took immense pride in his work as an electrician, building a successful and respected career through determination, skill, and a deep commitment to his craft.

 His humor, his heart, and his unforgettable spark will be remembered always.

The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in Our Lady of Czestochowa Church,419 Hill St, on Wednesday, December 10, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. preceded by prayers at 10:30 a.m.
