Michael Turczyk “Turk”, 51 Michael passed away suddenly on Sunday, April 6, 2025, leaving behind his two children, Victoria and Roman, former wife, Jennifer Baldwin, mother, Mary Turczyk (Walter, deceased), brother, Walter Jr., sister, Christine (fiance,Jason), godson, Erik Hirzer, niece, Arianna Hirzer and many cousins and friends. Turk was a man with many talents and a lot to say. He was loved by many and was kind-hearted in return. Turk was the former owner/butcher at the West Side Market, and grill master supreme in his own backyard. He was always the life of the party and always ready to throw one. Picking up a guitar or playing the drums, music flowed through him. His excitement to live in the moment made everyone smile and appreciate his presence. Turk learned to fish from our uncle at an early age. He went from catch and release of BlueGill in a pond, to catching Walleye on his boat in his spare time. The Cleveland Browns were Turk’s team. He always believed and never gave up on them bringing home a win. Just as we never stopped believing in him. Although Turk did get in his own way, one thing was for certain, he loved his children. Victoria and Roman were always in his heart and they were his greatest accomplishments. They loved their father unconditionally. He will be missed, but always loved. Go Browns! Vichnaya Pamyat.
