On January 23, 2026, God welcomed Michael John Royack - a devoted husband, father, and unwavering pillar of strength - into His heavenly home. Michael was born on May 26, 1947 to Anne and Michael Royack in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

At the time of his passing, he was a resident of Richland, WA for 31 years and a communicant of The Parish of the Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Kennewick, WA.

He is cherished and survived by his siblings, Mark and Susan; his son, Greg, and his daughter-in-law, Katrin; his daughter, Lisa, and son-in-law, Kyle; and his loving grandchildren, Kevin, Samantha, and Clayton, who brought him so much joy and are now watched over by him from Heaven.
