Stasiu Wietrzykowski Obituary
Stasiu turned into an avid reader. He read the Harry Potter series so many times, I had to buy him his own set because the books were falling apart. He continued his love of reading with science fiction, manga, and other similar genres.
He started the GSA (Gay/Straight Alliance) at his school as a way to foster communication and give LGBTQ+ kids a place to go and talk. He worked very hard to get GSA off the ground and was very passionate about helping. He was always a safe place for his friends and anyone else who needed him. There were many times he would drop everything for a friend in need. Stasiu was extraordinarily passionate about LGBTQ+ issues and volunteered to make political calls during elections.
He was in Boy Scouts for several years and loved his adventures there. He went on many fun camping trips, got to sail in the Bahamas, and went snow skiing.
Stasiu graduated from the Sarasota Military Academy and started his freshman year at State College of Florida and wanted to study entomology. He loved all things bugs and insects.
Stasiu would light up a room when he walked in. He gave the best bear hugs and had an infectious belly laugh. He loved all animals, especially his beloved Nicholas.
Although we were so very lucky to have the time with him we did, he left behind so many who love him and are going to miss him every day. He leaves behind his mother, Beth, and his brother, Bohdan. He also leaves behind his father, Chris, and grandparents, Jan, Bob, Alda, Linda, and Bill.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to ALSO Youth, an organization dedicated to LGBTQ+ kids. https://www.alsoyouth.org/donate/stasiu-wietrzykowski-memorial-gift

Dear Beth and Bohdan, I will dearly miss Stasiu, he was my favorite tenting buddy and was always a major help on campouts. He was not afraid to get his hands dirty and he always carried himself in a respectable way. The younger scouts looked up to him and he set a great example for them. I remember discussing our views on the world and it´s dilemmas late into the night on the last Woodruff campout he went on. He had strong views on many topics that you could tell came from the heart, despite his passion he was always willing to listen to you even if he didn´t agree with what you said. There is no doubt in my mind that hiss loss will send waves through the community. Knowing the kind of person (some words that come to mind are peaceful, intelligent, caring, and respectful) he was and the contributions he has made I can assume that he must have had a plethora of friends in school and the community and there will be a huge hole in their hearts that may never repair itself. I also believe that because of his care for others he doesn´t want us to live in sorrow from his loss and that we need to come together and fill the hole with love and compassion for each other. Stasiu will be forever remembered in my heart as well as severely missed, I will let his memory be a reminder to always show kindness to others and to be there for others when they are down.

Beth and Bohdan our hearts are broken for you. Dave, Jonathon, Nicholas and I have such fond memories of the little blond-haired bundle of energy who lived next door to us. Stasiu was so full of life and a true delight. We pray for strength and peace for you and your entire family.
