Declan Szurek Obituary

Declan Joseph Szurek, son of Gregory and Katherine (Viniconis) Szurek, passed away suddenly on the early morning of Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2022.

Declan was born Nov. 26, 2021, In Hartford, at St. Francis Hospital. Declan was full of happiness and laughter. Just learning to walk, he was always on his feet laughing and playing with his brother and sister. In the time that Declan had he was able to experience so much. He was always so happy to greet his family members at the door and always had to wave goodbye. Declan will forever leave a lasting impression and smile on anyone that met him. He will always be smiling upon us all.

He will be eternally loved and remembered by his parents Greg and Katie; siblings Patrick and Kaleigh Szurek; Paternal Grandparents Stanley "Bud" and Cynthia Szurek of Hebron; Maternal Grandparents Stanley and Suzanne Viniconis of East Hartford; Uncle Daniel and Aunt Aimee Viniconis of Hebron; and numerous other extended family and friends. He is predeceased by his Aunt Reagan Szurek.

Calling hours will be held on Saturday, Jan. 7, 2023 from 2 to 4 p.m., at the Aurora-McCarthy Funeral Home, 167 Old Hartford Rd., Colchester, followed by a chapel service at the funeral home. Burial will take place at a later date in the spring.
