Michael E. Brunette, 78, passed away on September 25, 2025, in Yamhill, Oregon. He was born on January 14, 1948, in Tupper Lake, New York, to Donald Brunette and Theresa McCauley.

Michael was a man who valued hard work and took great pride in caring for his home and property with dedication and diligence. His life reflected a quiet strength, containing encouragement and humor, and a steadfast commitment to the responsibilities he embraced.

He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Eileen J. Brunette, and their children: daughter Judith Busby (David), son Steven Brunette (Katrina), and daughter Karen Oneth (Markas). Michael's legacy lives on through his seven grandchildren, whose ages range from 9 to 29, and his 3 great- grandchildren.

He is also remembered by his siblings: Donna Brunette (Paulette), Jeanne McCarthy (Bill), and Paul Brunette (Dawn). He is preceded in death by his parents and his sister Susan Bouchey (Steven).

A Funeral Mass will be held on October 2, 2025, at St. Birgitta's Catholic Church, located at 11820 NW St Helens Rd, Portland. The service will begin at 12:30 PM.
