Obituary for Donald Amantea

Donald  Amantea
Donald "Donnie" Amantea, born July 3, 1947 to Amerigo and Domenica Amantea in the Bronx, was a loving husband, father and grandfather. Amongst other family members and friends who loved him dearly, Donnie leaves behind his wife Laura; his children Justina, Jessica, Laura, Elena, Vito; his sons-in-law Michael and Steven; his daughter-in-law Dana; and his beautiful granddaughters Olivia and Mia.

Donnie, a retired NYPD detective, loved nothing more than spending time with his family or watching his beloved New York Yankees and New York Giants. Above all, nothing can separate Donnie from his faith in God. In July 2015, Donnie was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer, but never lost faith in his upcoming battles or in God's plan for him.

A devout Catholic his entire life, Donnie is now resting peacefully in Heaven after a valiant fight. Although he will be missed dearly by those who loved him most, Donnie will continue to be by the side of his wife, children and grandchildren."
