Michael made friends very easily. He wasn't shy by any means with his friends. At home he was quiet only around his Dad. Around me and siblings Omg he made us laugh all the time. He was the greatest. My world crashed the day I got that dreadful phone call. My life will nver be the same EVER! He was loved by his family very much no matter what he may or may not have done.His best friend Tommy said there was no one like Michael! He was one of a kind... |

This memorial is in memory of our son MICHAEL R. LUTEK Jr.
He had a smile that could light up a room. He was always so pleasant. MICHAEL was always by my side.We had a special bond. MICHAEL was an only child for 10 years. Some may say he was spoiled but hey he was my child. We decided to have another child,MICHAEL wasn't too happy at first but once we had Brittany ,and he held her he took to her. (LOL) Then we
had Tyler. MICHAEL and his brother were close. MICHAEL adored the both of them.They actually got along despite their ages well for the most part they did. Brittany is 11 and Tyler is 9.
Tyler really puts us in mind of his big bro growing up all over again.They are both beautiful children. I really don't know what we would do if we didn't have them.They miss their BIG BRO so much! He was so good with them Michael loved them so much. He use to set a side at least one night a week to watch a movie and pop some pop corn and spend time with them. As you could see by his photos when we went to the shore he was like a kid at heart, he always played with his siblings he just loved the beach. To them MICHAEL was their hero and they just don't understand why...why he was taken away from them. Tyler really has the hardest time . He cries a lot for his brother.They both had nicknames for him Brittany called
him Bro-Bro and Tyler called him Mot...I called him Big Son.....
MICHAEL decided to stay at his GF's house on the night of November 14,2004,which he rarely did.
He left our home around 9:30 pm.He told me he see me in the morning cause he had work the next day.
I stayed on the sofa all night. I would wait up for my son until he got home every night no matter what time. Anyway, that night he didn't come home. The next morning he didn't come home for work. I figured he overslept. The phone started to ring on the morning of November 15,2004 at 9:55 am. Some 12 hours after MICHAEL had left my house. It was MICHAEL'S GF screaming telling me to get to her house.She said something was wrong with MICHAEL. I called my husband at work and told him to get to her house fast something is wrong with our son Michael I couldn't bring myself to go there,I just had a bad feeling something was terribly wrong. Sure enough they showed my husband where our son was.HE was
laying in the bed so peaceful,when my husband felt him he was so cold . MY husband just laid next to our son and cried.Our first born,our baby,our son was gone. MICHAEL was only 19 years old.The coroner ruled that our son passed away in his sleep due to his severe sleep apnea. I still remember the look on my husband's face when he walked through our door. All life had been sucked right out of him. WE both looked at each other and said 'HE's gone!!" We cried so hard The hardest part was
telling our 2 younger children that their brother was gone. I remember everyone left our home so we could tell them. They came in from school as they normally did @2:30. Brittany looked at us and asked "What's wrong" We cried so hard and told them that their big brother was gone. He
passed away. They cried and they just couldn't understand what had happen to him .That was something I will never ever forget and hope and pray to God I never have to do AGAIN We will never forget seeing him
being carried out in a body bag...HEART BREAKING!!!
That phone call has changed our lives forever! MY world was shattered NOVEMBER 15,2004
a date I WILL ALWAYS HATE but WILL NEVER FORGET!! MICHAEL was such a great kid.
He had a warm smile and such a sparkle in his eyes. As you could see from
his photos he was a very handsome young man I loved him with every breath I took.
HE was my heart! MICHAEL had a great sense of humor.He could put a smile on the grumpiest of people. MICHAEL used to do some crazy dances,I find myself imitating them. MICHAEL was definitely one of a kind. I can't tell you how much he is missed.My niece summed MICHAEL up very well.
She said he was a "PEOPLE PERSON"! HE loved to socialize! HE was such a caring person.
I can't believe I will never see him again. I look at his pictures or walk into his bedroom and can't believe HE is gone. MY heart aches every second for him. MICHAEL made our lives exciting.He really was one of a kind
When anyone in our family argued or didn't talk he is the one who brought us all together again.He left every one he touched with such special memories. He will never ever be forgotten. He was the best.
I miss MICHAEL so much. There is not a second of the day that I don't think about my MICHAEL.
He was so very special to me. I truly learned the meaning of a broken heart the day my son
passed away. Anyone who knew me knows there was no one like my MICHAEL, he was one of a
kind I enjoyed talking about MICHAEL when he was alive,you think I'm going to stop now??
NOPE,it's music to my ears to relive his memories over and over again Even if I shed a tear or two,PLEASE don't stop mentioning MICHAEL like he was never born. HE was a big part of
our lives for 19 years. As long I am alive HIS memory will live on!
3 years....
It's almost 3 years now our pain is still as strong as it was the first day. This pain is something no one could ever know unless they themselves have experienced it. Our lives have forever changed.
Our 2 other children keep us going, Brittany now 12 and Tyler 9. They miss their brother so much. Our younger one really has such a hard time. To them HE was their hero,someone they looked up to and they have the hardest time understanding why he was taken from them/us.
Michael's 2 best friends Jesse and Tommy still keep in contact with us. They took on the role of protector and look out for their best friend's brother and sister,now. it really makes us feel good that they still come around. Michael had respect for everyone. He was a great kid and We are so proud we had him in our lives for 19 years.
My MICHAEL had a knack for breaking stones that's for sure.
That's what made him who he was. HE wasn't afraid to enjoy life.
MICHAEL was not a mean kid he had respect for everyone. MICHAEL
had many friends. He always managed to run into someone he knew.
Whether it was in the neighborhoods of South Philly or the New Jersey shore
never failed someone knew him. Michael loved rap/hip hop music. He had
many favorite artists but he was a huge fan of Tupac and Jay-Z Michael knew how to party,
he would be the first one out and usually the last one in. Michael love mob movies his favorites were Scarface, Godfather,The Bronx Tale and his all time favorite was Good Fellas. He always said
You either loved him or you didn't. There was no in between. He always told you like it was,
no sugar coating for him. I used to say to him you act like you don't have tomorrow and HIS response was"ONE DAY I WON'T". MICHAEL lived life with the"no fear" attitude.He would try anything once.
I miss him more than I could ever put into words. I think he did and experienced a lot in 19 years.
HE lived life the way he wanted to. His best friends Jesse and Tommy miss him so much
HE truly loved life! I am so proud that I had the honor of calling MICHAEL.........MY SON!!!!
I LOVE YOU,MICHAEL GOOD NIGHT BABY!
REST PEACEFULLY MY SON....rest peacefully.
MY HEART IS FOREVER BROKEN!
Love you forever Mom
