Joseph T. "Joe" Muranyi, Jr., age 63, passed away suddenly Thursday, February 29, 2024 at Mercy St. Anne's Hospital. He was born on July 14, 1960 to Joseph T. Sr. and Marilyn (Lennox) Muranyi in Toledo, OH. Joe was a graduate of Whitmer High School where he specialized in auto mechanics and attended Owens Community College. He worked at Dana Corp. and then owned and operated his own business, Joe's Automotive for 10 years. Joe's knowledge in the mechanic business, anything mechanical was not limited and he continued to work in this field throughout his career. He was extremely handy, could fix about anything and was always helping someone; something he truly enjoyed. This was evident and passed down to his sons and grandchildren as well. Joe not only lead by example, but had one of the biggest hearts, never judged, always showed compassion for others and made friends anywhere he went.
He was an excellent cook, had a great sense of humor and never missed an opportunity to crack a good joke. Joe enjoyed boating, fishing and spending time with his family and grandchildren at Lost Peninsula Marina where he was a member for many years. His smile, spirit and caring nature will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him. No matter how much or how little Joe had, he was always there to help anyone in need. He'd want you to remember him with a smile and a good joke!
In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his son, Chris Modrowski; and grandson, Javonte Brunson. Left to cherish Joe's memory are his loving wife of 36 years, Deborah Muranyi; sons, Joseph T. (Amber) Muranyi, III and Corey (Jawanda) Modrowski; grandchildren, Joey IV, Kylie, Nevaeha, Jaydin, James, Leontaye, and Kelveon; mother, Marilyn Muranyi; brothers, Edward (June) Muranyi and Douglas (Patty) Muranyi; daughter-in-law, Amanda Modrowski; many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and dear friends; and of course baby doggie, Max.
