Donald Joseph Musich

Hurricane, UT – Donald Joseph Musich, Age 83, passed away peacefully in his home on July 6, 2015, in Hurricane, UT after a short bout with cancer. He was born Aug. 10, 1931, in Yonkers, NY. He married Carol Schumacher in Aurora, IL on June 25, 1955. He was raised in New York and moved to Aurora, IL where he served in the US Army during the Korean War. He later met and married Carol Schumacher and they had their eight children. He worked all his life as an electrician. The family moved to Lakewood, CO when their house was too small for their growing family. As the family matured, Don and Carol felt the call to move to Hurricane, Utah and help start a Catholic church. Don was a man fully committed to his family, his church, his country and the many friends he has earned in his life. He touched all who met him, and gave of himself to anyone in need. He had a constant thirst to learn, and to share what he knew. If you were fortunate enough to know him, you're life was enriched in his presence. Young or old, he could find a subject of interest to share. He was instrumental in creating the church in Hurricane, known as St Paul's. His tireless energy was evident in the parish newsletter he so lovingly crafted. His family was held together by the Clan News that he enjoyed sharing. He is survived by his wife of sixty years Carol Musich; children and spouses (Marie & Terry Barefoot; Roseanne & Matt Frauens; Chris & Neil Swanson; Joe Musich; Beth Musich; Karen & Ken Hodge; and Donna Musich); grandchildren (Alex and Khris Clymer, Kerry Barefoot, Alyssa Frauens, Hayden Wallace, Jennifer and Brian Barefoot Burns, Nicolaus Frauens, Amelia Frauens and Danielle); siblings Rich Musich and Barb Reynolds. Daughter, Annette Musich, and sister, Pat Landorf, preceded him in death. The family would like to thank the three angels; Leslie, Kathy and Laura from Journey of Hope Hospice for their support during his last days. A Funeral Mass will be held on Sat., July 11th at 10:30 AM at St Paul’s Catholic Center, 171 S Main, Hurricane, UT. Friends and family are invited to share condolences online at www.SerenityStG.com.
