Michael DeFraia Obituary

The passing of Michael DeFraia of Poughkeepsie, New York leaves a void in the hearts of many, as we bid farewell to a loving soul who departed on March 26, 2026 at the age of 70. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid Michael farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Michael is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Charles DeFraia and Joan DeFraia. He is survived by: his wife Brenda DeFraia; his children, Anthony, Danielle, Krista and Chelsey; and his siblings, Charles (Claire), Cynthia (Michael) and Gregory (Lisa). He is also survived by his three grandchildren.
