Michael VanDenburg Obituary

VanDenburg, Michael R. COLONIE Michael R. VanDenburg, 59, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, December 24, 2017. Mick was born in Niskayuna to the late Edward VanDenburg and Leah Egan on April 8, 1958. When Mick was 18, he suffered from an accident that left him a quadriplegic. He struggled his whole life for everything he had, and he will be remembered as an independent man of strong will. Mick is survived by his beloved family and many friends who helped care for him. Services will be held privately at the convenience of the family.
