Miroslaw K. Pryputniewicz

Miro (Miroslaw) K. Pryputniewicz, 56, beloved husband of Lisa Ann (Casey) Pryputniewicz, of Berlin, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2017. Miro was born March 4, 1960 in Gdansk, Poland and was the loving son to Janina (Tatarewicz) Pryputniewicz and the late Antoni Pryputniewicz.

He graduated from E.C. Goodwin Tech in 1979. He was the co-owner and operator of R&M Automotive INC., R&M Recyclers and Savannah Motors of Stuart FL. since 1977. Miro loved the work that he did and went above and beyond for everyone he knew. He enjoyed all life had to offer. From boating and fishing to camping, to snowmobiling, to spending time at the beach. Miro also enjoyed his animals, desserts of every kind, drag racing with the guys, and motorcycling. But most of all, he loved spending time with his family. Whether it was taking his daughters shopping or simply watching a movie together, he was proud and happy to do it. He will be remembered for his positivity and kindness to everyone. Miro’s smiling face and pure heart was sure to brighten anyone’s day. Regardless of how he felt, he would go out of his way to make you laugh. Miro will also be remembered for his love of cars and hard-working hands. There was nothing that he couldn’t fix. He welcomed every challenge with optimism and a brave face, and always found a way to grow stronger. He found solace in helping others and we are all so proud of Miro for overcoming life’s challenges and leaving a legacy for others to be inspired by.

In addition to his wife Lisa, he is survived and will also be dearly missed by his daughters; Elizabeth and Victoria Pryputniewicz, of Berlin, his three brothers; Roman Pryputniewicz and his wife, Elzbieta of Stuart, Fl, Eugene Pryputniewicz and his life companion, Sue Green of Ocala, Fl and Richard Pryputniewicz and his wife Janina of Vernon. He also leaves his godson Christopher Pryputniewicz of Somers and his goddaughter Elaine Brewer of Boston, MA. Including numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family.

As Miro would say, ”Take it one day at a time”.
