Michael T. Duritsky, Jr.
Addison,
formerly of Masontown
Michael T. Duritsky, Jr., 28, of Addison, formerly of Masontown, died suddenly Wednesday, January 7, 2026. He was born May 9, 1997 in Uniontown, a son of Michael T. Duritsky, Sr. and Kathleen Stickovitch Duritsky, both of Masontown.
Michael was preceded in death by a grandfather, James Stickovitch; and father-in-law, Rick Frazee.
In addition to his dedicated parents, left to cherish Michael’s memory are his loving wife of three years (married September 24, 2022), Jenna Frazee Duritsky; and his adoring daughter, Ryleigh Duritsky, both of Addison; grandmother, Carol Stickovitch of Masontown; mother-in-law, Jamie Frazee of Addison; sister-in-law, Julee Frazee Enos of Addison; brother-in-law Ryan Frazee of Addison; grandparents-in-law, Stanley Fisher of Somerset and Judy Fisher of Addison; his race team members, Ron, Brandon, Mike, Randy, Chris, Josh, Jayden and Jonas; many aunts, uncles and cousins; and his best bubbas, “Rocket”.
Michael was a graduate of Albert Gallatin High School Class of 2015 then went to school to be a machinist.
He was the co-owner of Powerline Speedway in Masontown.
Michaels’ love of cars got him interested in racing. He has held the title of track champion for four years at three different tracks and 70 feature wins in the Crate division and two super late wins. His main focus became the Crate-late model division followed by success in Super-late model racing.
His greatest joy was spending time with his family and friends.
When Michael wasn’t at the track with his family racing, he enjoyed spending time with his wife, Jenna and daughter, Ryleigh, and furry companion/best friend, Rocket. They enjoyed hunting, hiking, and exercising together – doing as much as possible as a family.
He also was a part- time mechanic at RW Frazee Trucking, LLC.
Michael was the most giving, compassionate, caring and kind person you had the pleasure to meet. His smile was contagious, and his heartwarming personality shined through. He helped anyone he could, and was always putting everyone else before himself. He was so intelligent. There wasn’t a problem he couldn’t fix – if he didn’t know, he figured it out. He would find a way to smile through the frustrations that life threw at him and always said “we will figure it out”. He impacted so many lives in his short time here on earth, and will always be remembered for his kind and heartwarming personality, the love for his family, and the legacy of racing that he will leave behind for his daughter to follow in her daddy’s footsteps.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the ANDREW D. FERGUSON FUNERAL HOME, 80 Morgantown Street, Uniontown, where the family will receive friends from 2 until 7 p.m. Wednesday, January 14.
