Stephen Michael DeSerio

To all of the Deserio Family, my heart and prayers go out to you. In reading about Steven's life, it brings to mind how brave and lovable he was at the preschool which is when I knew him. May his memory be a blessing. My condolences, Nancy Miringoff, PARC

Mr and Mrs. DeSerio, Mark, Laurie, Lisa, Alexandra and Sebastian,
Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. Stephen was such a kind and good person. I will always remember the car trips we shared to class at Dutchess. I am thankful that he is no longer in pain, but he will always be missed and remembered.

Stephen,
You've always been there. I can't imagine my life without you in it. I would talk to you every day on my drive home. You used to call me at 10:30 at night just to ask me "does it sound better to say he will match words to pictures or pictures to words." It never seemed to matter that I told you that it didn't make a difference. I really liked those late night talks. I'm glad that you were able to meet Ally and have the family you've always wanted. I will tell Sebastian all...

Stephen you were such an amazing friend with a heart of gold and I was very blessed to have gotten to know you and be there for you, Ally and Sebby. You fought for as long as you could and never gave up. I will miss you very much. Sebby is like you in so many ways so really you are still here and Sebby will know that he had such an amazing dad that loved him very much. Now you are at peace and watching over your family. Goodbye my friend xoxoxo

Son, your passing was absolutely devastating. Mom and I can only take solace in the fact that you were able to spend your last years with Ally and your beautiful son, Sebastian. And that you are now pain-free. Your life accomplishments were amazing. You were always a perfect son, brother, uncle, father, husband and friend. 'Till we meet again. Love you, Mom and Dad xxxxoooo

Stephen was great friend to me for many years. Although we had lost touch over the past few years, I will always remember everything he did for me. He was a wonderful man who could make anyone smile. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.
