Urbanik , 77, of New Stanton, died Tuesday, November 02, 2021.  He was born November 05, 1943, in Finleyville, a son of the late Joseph and Frances Hensley Urbanik.  Howard developed a passion for horses at a young age and turned that into becoming a true horseman.  His knowledge and guidance will be missed by many.  He had many “kids” that he trained throughout the years that will cherish the lessons he taught them, whether it was Showing Horses,  Building Guns,  Hunting, Training dogs,  or just about life.  Outside of horses, he loved to go Hunting and Fishing, along with spending time with his Amish friends.  He loved his Halter Horses and his loyal dog Dani, will be lost without him.  Howard was a member of the Shindle lodge No 601  30th Masonic District and had been in the Army Reserves prior to working as an Machinest for Westinghouse Electric in East Pittsburgh.  He is survived by his only child, Stacy Urbanik (Bill Shaw) of New Alexandria; Brother, Herb Urbanik (Sharon) of WY along with several nieces, nephews and cousins.  There will be no public viewing or services at this time, but a Celebration of his life will be scheduled at a later date.  In lieu of flowers please make donations to Hospaws, Inc or Bonded by Strength Equine Rescue in his memory.  Howard’s family has entrusted his care to the Clement L.
