Anthony Paul Nuzzo Jr., beloved father, uncle, and friend, passed away Saturday morning, March 19, 2022, at Alexian Brothers Hospital in Elk Grove Village, IL. He was 52 years old.
A loving family member, Anthony was born in Chicago, IL on July 11, 1969, to Anthony P. Nuzzo Sr. and Christine M. Nuzzo. His earliest memories were making pizzas in the kitchen with his mother and brothers and stealing Christmas cookies from his aunt’s basement freezer with his cousin Edward.
After graduating from Fremd High School, Anthony continued to impress the world with his many business ventures. He’s taken part in starting many companies with family and friends across the world. He was often heard saying “You need to live life to the fullest, work hard, and play harder.” Anthony enjoyed spending time on his boat, taking family and friends out to dinner, cheering on the Chicago Bears and Vegas Golden Knights, traveling to El Salvador, cooking for his family and friends, and so many other things. We take comfort in knowing that he had a life that was well-lived.
Anthony was preceded in death by his father, Anthony P. Nuzzo Sr., mother, Christine M. Nuzzo.
Anthony is survived by his children: Kayla, Jordan, and Sierra (Reed); his brothers: James (Michelle) and Dominick; his nieces and nephews; Hannah, Annabella, Gabriel, Amilee, Christine and Dominic, cherished Cousin and Friend of many, treasured cousin and business partner Edward Carfora, beloved cousin of John Johanns, and the cherished family dog Lucia.
Visitation will be held Friday, March 25, 2022, from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Salerno Galewood Chapel, 1857 N. Harlem Ave. Chicago, IL 60707. Funeral Service Saturday, March 26, 2022, at 11:30 a.m., at Salerno Galewood Chapel. All that loved Anthony are welcome to attend.

Dominick and Ed, please accept my family's prayers during this difficult time. Anthony will always be remembered as super intelligent, smiling, loving his family, and having fun. We had so much fun at Bulls and Hawks games over the years. Although he is gone way too soon, he definitely lived a full life. We lost one of the good ones and he will be missed. RIP Anthony.
Sincerely,
Brian Mongoven and Family
