DUANESBURG — Sean Michael Cieszynski, a beloved father of six who enjoyed hunting and being a handyman, died on Wednesday, June 10, 2015. He was 42.

Mr. Cieszynski was born to Gary J. and Ena M. Cieszynski. He graduated from Schalmont High School, in Schenectady, and worked at Advanced Auto, in Cobleskill (Schoharie Co.).

Mr. Cieszynski was an avid hunter, and he loved fishing, his family wrote. He also enjoyed handyman work and mechanics, they wrote.

“He was always ready to lend a hand to a neighbor, and he was willing to help you rebuild your engine. He would drop everything to come to the rescue when you broke down on the road,” they wrote.

Mr. Cieszynski is survived by his wife, Melissa Cieszynski; his children, Brittany, Christian, Tyler, Faith, Alyssa, and Peyton; his brother, Heath and his wife, Tina, of Duanesburg; his sister, Roxanne Werts and her husband, Jefferson, of Florida; his brother Mark; and his sisters, Crystal Glass and Tany Abbott.
