Mauro Stephen Mele Jr.

I think of you often Missing your face, tall tales and 'dad' jokes! Keep shining you're light on you're family and friends, especially on these hard days like today. We all miss you greatly. I know one day we will be able to see that handsome smile of yours again! You're memory is always bittersweet. Honored to have known you and sad to not have been able to know you longer. Til we meet again kiddo

Everyday is our Memorial Day as we miss your place in our lives. Honor Mauro's service with kindness toward others. Freedom isn't free. Use it to help someone.

Remembering your mischievous and fun loving spirit. We miss your smile and silly antics. Underneath it all was a kind, big heart, and fierce loyalty. You are loved and missed so much!

There isn't a day we don't think about you. Trying to remember the good things about you today like your laugh, your smile, your sense of humor, and fierce loyalty to your friends and family. Remembering the real you and missing you.

Always loved. Always missed. We still hold you close in our hearts even while our arms are empty. Some day every tear will be erased....

Still remembered; Still loved; Still missed by many! ♡ Thinking of you still brings a smile to my face! And, Lord, I can still hear all of your korny jokes!! Keep shining your light on your family and friends. Til me meet again, kiddo! ♡

I taught Mauro in 4th grade. I am deeply saddened by this news. Please know he, and the entire family, is in my thoughts. I wish you all some sort of peace looking forward. He was a wonderful boy, and I can only assume an even better man.
