Tadeusz Ryszard “Ted” Musnicki, age 81 of Palm Coast, Florida passed away peacefully in his sleep on August 15, 2025, at his home after dealing with recent health complications.
Ted was born on April 3, 1944, in Lublin, Poland to Zygmunt & Irena Musnicki.

He is also survived by his son Robert Musnicki (Jessica Abeele), daughter Joanna “Asia” Musnicki, and 8 grandchildren Ashley Musnicki, Christopher Musnicki, Tatyana Decker, Mik Decker, Griffin Decker, Isabella Hayward, Olivia Hayward, Dallas Hayward and niece Iwona Zareba (Tadeusz Zareba).

Ted was one of a kind. He was like a firecracker! Always busy. We enjoyed the many stories he shared with us about his life and adventures. We will miss his ‘hey neighbor’ every day. We know he’s at peace and looking down on us. Rest well my friend.

Love you Ted. I will miss our conversations about life, the universe and everything. Especially your comedic viewpoints on the human experience. You will be missed. We will drink to you on the Pacific. Szerokiej drogi i pomylnych wiatrów!

As Ted's Hospice nurse it was my pleasure helping him and Sherry through this difficult time. Sherry was an excellent caregiver and I I'm positive Ted is on the other side smiling about his excellent adventure we call life . Life is short . Cherish every day. God bless him and his family. Love them both....
