Obituary of Michael Joseph Daniluk

Michael Joseph Daniluk, 33, passed away on July 29, with his family at his bedside. Michael was born in Camden, NJ on April 27, 1983 into a large and loving family. Michael was a talented mechanic. He was able to take apart car engines 'with his eyes closed' and make a miracle happen with any automobile. He loved dirt bikes as a child and would constantly be showing off the latest tricks to anyone that would watch. He also loved animals, particularly reptiles. Michael had many lizards, newts, and frogs at one point in his life, paying more loving attention to them than himself. He took great pride in his pets and loved every second of the research, time, and effort it took to care for them. He is survived by his father Ignatz, mother Patty (Jack McGlone), grandmother Barbara Herkert (Watson), brothers Stephen (Erin) and Adam, nephew Jonas, niece Domenica, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends from all over the country. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Stephen and Anna Daniluk, and his grandfather Joseph Herkert. Services will be held privately with the family.
