Michael R. Murnyack, 54, of Clarence, entered into his eternal rest with his family by his side on Sunday, June 18, 2023, at home. Born on June 15, 1969, in Bellefonte, he was the son of Alexander F. Murnyack of Clarence and the late Sandra R. (Hennon) Murnyack.

Micheal graduated from Bald Eagle Area High School in 1987. He worked as a carpenter for various companies, and was a union member for Heavy Highway, Labor Union 1058, and Carpenter 2274 for many years. He loved his work in construction.

Michael was a member of the Queen of Archangels Parish Church in Clarence. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus in Clarence as well. He was very involved in sports growing up and enjoyed watching all sports on TV in his free time. He loved being in the woods and the great outdoors. He did not care if he was cutting firewood, shooting his guns, hunting, fishing, or any other activites, as long as he was outside, he was happy. For a time, he taught others how to hunt and fish, sharing his passion with them and in turn, watching the joy overcome them when they caught that fish or took down their game. He loved spending time with family and especially his children. He was a strong, determined man that never shyed away from a hard days work. Loved and missed by many, his memory and legacy will live on in all those blessed to have known him.
