Mystic - Michael John Payne, of Mystic, passed away peacefully June 25, 2025 (his Mom’s 80th birthday). He was born Feb. 4, 1967, in Bristol, to Patricia and John Pajeski. When he was seven, Kenneth Payne entered his life, which was the beginning of a special relationship. At the age of 21, at his request, he officially became Michael Payne.
In 2015, Michael and Miquel Gularte formed PC Restoration, a company which provides specialty cleaning services following traumatic events.
His non-business life consisted of a vast world of friends, all of whom will greatly miss his presence as he always thought of others before himself.
Michael is survived by his loving wife Lisa; and their children, Owen, Corey and Miranda. Owen and Cassidy recently presented him with a beautiful grandson, Jace.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date. Donations in his memory can be made to Sails Up 4 Cancer (su4c.org).
