Michael A. Wyrzykowski, 54, of Princeton and formerly of Auburn, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, March 30, 2025. He was lovingly known as "Mike" to his friends.
He leaves his cherished son, Nash Wyrzykowski; his former wife, Beckett Augat, both of Princeton; his best friend and sister, Jennifer L. Lapierre; and his nieces, Jordan and Camryn Lapierre, all of Holland.
Michael was born in Worcester, son of the late Stanley A. Wyrzykowski and Carol A. (Nash) Wyrzykowski. He was raised and educated in Auburn, and graduated from St. John's High School in Shrewsbury, Class of 1988.
After high school, Mike attended Salem State College (now University) where he was on the hockey team. He then transferred to Anna Maria College, where he was on the soccer team. He graduated from Anna Maria in 1993 with a Bachelor degree in Criminal Justice.
Michael then began his career working with kids – he worked as a Program Director for various local programs for troubled teens, and most recently, worked as a Wheelchair Van Driver for special needs children. He also enjoyed volunteering his time to underprivileged kids and troubled youth, in which he rode and raised money for Rodman Ride for Kids for many years.
In his free time, Mike enjoyed his membership at the Leominster Sportsmen's Association, where he and his family liked to fish, practice archery, and spend time at the gun range. He loved off-roading in his Jeep Wrangler, and traversing the trails on his 4-Wheeler.
Michael's family meant the world to him, and in turn, we are devastated by his passing. His legacy and love will live on in all of us.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Rodman for Kids, 10 Lincoln Road, Suite 205, Foxborough, MA 02035 (https://www.rodmanforkids.org/donate/).
Relatives and friends are invited to visit with Michael's family between 5 – 7 PM on Monday, April 7, 2025 at the BRITTON-WALLACE FUNERAL HOME, 91 Central Street, Auburn, with a prayer service beginning at 7 PM. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, May 10, 2025 at the Leominster Sportsmen's Association, 1455 Elm Street, Leominster, from 3 - 7 PM.
