Steven Pruchnicki Obituary

Steven M. Pruchnicki, age 77, was called home to be with the Lord on July 9, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. He was the devoted and faithful husband of Carmelita A. (née Greco) Pruchnicki, with whom he shared 57 beautiful, grace-filled years of marriage.
Steven was a loving father to his cherished daughter, Elizabeth Gobel (Nathan), and a proud and adoring grandfather to Vincent, Dominic, and Mia Gobel, who brought endless joy to his heart. He was the beloved son of the late Stephen and Genevieve Pruchnicki, and dear brother of the late Judy Linsell.
A proud veteran of the United States Navy, Steven served his country with honor and integrity. His service was a testament to his deep sense of duty and commitment. For over 20 years, he faithfully worked as a Custodial Supervisor for Cuyahoga County, dedicating himself to serving others with humility and quiet strength.
Steven had a profound love for fishing and hunting, but nothing brought him greater happiness than the time he spent with his grandchildren and his daughter, whom he cherished above all. His love was deep, steady, and unwavering-a reflection of his enduring faith in God, which guided him throughout his life. His faith was not only a personal cornerstone but a gift he shared openly with those around him, embodying the love of Christ in all he did.
Steven's life was a testimony of God's grace, filled with kindness, devotion, and a spirit of quiet generosity. He leaves behind a legacy rooted in faith, love, and the unshakable strength of family.
