Michael A. Hreniuk

Michael was born in Jersey City, moving to Carteret and later moving to Toms River in 1979.

Michael touched the lives of many with his big, beautiful smile and always lending a helpful hand.

Michael had a great love of animals, especially cats. Some people called him the cat whisperer. There wasn’t a cat that he wouldn’t befriend.

His favorite times were spent with Chris, just being with each other, watching movies or listening to music or being with family and friends.

He enjoyed watching movies with his friend Carl, talking about girls softball with Ray and talking `about hockey with Butch. He loved the NY Rangers and Notre Dame football.

Michael was predeceased by his father Andrew, mother Mary Ellen, brother Gary and sister Suzanne.

He leaves behind his loving wife Christine, many wonderful friends and family, his cat Hank and his very special step dog Bailey.

Michael touched the lives of many and will be truly missed by all who loved him.

A bright light has dimmed today but will shine in our hearts forever.
