Michael A. SantoPietro

Michael A. SantoPietro, beloved brother, uncle, and friend, passed away on November 12, 2023, in Calverton, NY. He was born on February 7, 1967, in Staten Island, NY.

Michael resided at East End Disability Associates’ Barnes Road IRA group home in Manorville, where he received excellent care and lived a full life since 2008. 

Michael was known for his love for guitars and animals. He enjoyed listening to classic heavy metal music and will always be remembered for his witty sense of humor, and infectious laugh. Michael always appreciated a good meal, a hot cup of coffee, iced cold beer or a glass of classic Coca-Cola. Michael loved to keep busy and took great pride in working. He retired from working at Stop & Shop in 2019. 

Michael will be deeply missed by his surviving family and friends. He passed away surrounded by his loving family, including his nieces and nephews:  Mia (Nicholas) Pinnix, Erick Ramos Jr., Luciana Ramos, Bianca DeRusso, Rosa DeRusso, and Selena Ramos.  He is survived by sisters Christina (Erik Ramos) SantoPietro and Lisa SantoPietro, as well as his brother Peter SantoPietro.

In memory of Michael's life and to honor his passing, visitation services will be held at the Tuthill-Mangano Funeral Home located at 406 E Main St in Riverhead, NY on November 16th. The visitation will begin at 3:00 PM and conclude at 7:00 PM. A prayer service will be held that evening, from 6:00 PM to 6:30 PM.

As we gather to celebrate the life of Michael A. SantoPietro, let us remember his kind heart and gentle spirit. We bid farewell to a remarkable individual whose memory will forever live on in our hearts. May Michael's soul find eternal peace, and may his family and friends find comfort in the cherished memories they shared with him.
