Michael Joseph Klippi, 27, of Dunbar, PA, passed away on Monday June 22, 2026.
He was born March 23, 1999 in Uniontown, PA, the son of April (Klippi) Shanor.
Michael is survived by his partner Christine Yauger; his children Eden and Finley; mother and step-father April and Edward Shanor; brother Zackary Kilppi and his fiancé Alyssa and brother Tyler Empyrean and his wife Maria and two nephews Josiah and Elijah; grandparents, Mark and Sharon Yourchik aunts and uncles Joseph Yourchik, Aaron Klippi, Tiffany Klippi, Christine and Joseph Kremposky and Kerry and Tom Barnard.
Michael would gladly give the shirt off his back to help someone in need, always putting others before himself, especially his family. His children were the center of his world, and he loved them unconditionally.
A self-taught mechanic, Michael had a natural talent for fixing things and could figure out just about anything. He also had a creative side and enjoyed writing poetry, often putting his thoughts and feelings into words. He loved spending time outdoors and found peace in nature, whether hiking a trail or simply taking in the beauty of God's creation.
Through every hardship and challenge he faced, Michael held firmly to his faith in Jesus Christ. He will be remembered for his kind heart, gentle spirit, and the warm, heartfelt hugs that made those around him feel loved.
Arrangements are under the direction of the DONALD R. CRAWFORD FUNERAL HOME, HOPWOOD. All services are private.
