Steven Kruzyk Obituary
1979 - 2024
Steven Carl Kruzyk, 45, passed away on Wednesday, October 16, at St. Francis Hospital, following a prolonged illness. Steven was born in Manchester, CT, and had the great good fortune of being Carl Silver's first grandson and the light of his life. Steven graduated from Manchester High School where he played football. Early in his career he worked as a machinist for Purdy Corp., before becoming a full-time caregiver.
Steven loved and was loved by his large extended family. Sunday gatherings at Gram and Gramp's house, trips to the cabin in New Hampshire, and watching movies with his grandfather were some of his most treasured times. Steven loved movies, and consistently impressed family and friends with his amazing ability to recall thousands of movie details.
Steven's loss is felt deeply by his best friend and sister, Sharisse. Their most cherished moments were the family vacations to N.H. Every summer growing up they enjoyed swimming at the lake, playing basketball and the long hikes to the General store and back. A special treat was a visit to the North Hampton Hilton, with indoor swimming under the glass dome, ping pong, arcade games and a fabulous restaurant. Adulthood drew them closer, their friendship an anchor and beacon for the challenges each would face.
Steven's care for his grandparents in their old age was truly heroic. He generously gave his time and care to ensure their comfort.
Steven leaves his mother, Kathy (Silver), sister Sharisse, and many aunts, uncles and cousins. He will be remembered by all, and missed by many, including his cousin Mike, who shared his enthusiasm for scratch tickets, and the winnings that came along with them.
John F. Tierney Funeral Home has care of the arrangements. Services will be private. The family would like to thank the staff at St. Francis. In memory of Steven, the family asks that you share gratitude for those who selflessly step in to support aging family members. For online condolences, please visit www.tierneyfuneralhome.com.
