Visit the Legacy Remembers website to view the full obituary.
Our hearts are so broken at the untimely death of our first born son, Claudio. Parents are not supposed to bury their children and I would take his place in a minute if I could. Claudio was a loving and very caring son, never selfish and always giving whenever he saw a less fortunate person. His father and I would try to make him understand that he shouldn't be so trusting because people will use you and bring you down. To everyone who knew Claudio, they knew how intelligent he was especially in the field of computers. Claudio read fluently by the time he entered kindergarden and by the time he went to 1st grade, his father bought him his first desk PC Gateway 2000. He was so intrigued by it that he read the entire operating system manual within that year When it came time to choose a high school, he chose Euclid High School because he was so impressed with their computer lab and he excelled in this field with the help of his teacher, Mr. Pignatello. Claudio became so knowledgeable that he would assist Mr. Pignatello in preparing the lessons of the day. Claudio received The Euclid Rotary Club Vocational Award, Career Tech Prep, and Networking/CISCO award. Claudio also received the Certificate of Recognition Award from The Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Board of Regents for first-place honors in the National TestOut Challenge of Information Technology knowledge and skills. Claudio was honored by then Governor Taft in Columbus for this and other awards. Claudio is our loving son and no time in this world will ever take the hurt away his father and I feel. We are sorry that due to this Coronavirus a proper Catholic Mass is not possible at this time,but a memorial Mass will be held in his name once the virus is contained. Claudio passed away on Tuesday, May 12, 2020 and is survived by his daughter Gianna, his mom JoAnn and dad Gianfranco, his brother Carlo and sister-in-law Paige, nephews Luca and Lorenzo. Claudio is now in heaven with his sister Cristina and his grandparents, Giovanni and Ida Gentile, and Danilo and Maria Cromaz. May you rest in peace with the angels until we meet again, we love you so very much and always have been so very proud of you.... Your mom and dad

Claudio was the only cousin I had who was available anytime I called; he was always looking out for others and wanted everyone around him to be happy; he too wanted to be included and happy. He verbalized to me, on many occasions, how grateful he was for his father, mother, and brother. Claudio was so intelligent and knew something about everything but mastered the IT sector, which was impressive. During the last conversation I had with him he expressed that life was good for him; he also couldn't help letting me know how funny he thought his mother looked in her mask because of covid. His ability to use sarcasm and witt was enjoyable and entertaining. I will miss him much and often.

Dear John, JoAnn, Carlo, Gianna, and Family:

My deepest condolences. I am so very sorry your loss. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. Since I heard about Claudio's passing, I have thought back to when we were younger. There are so many memories that come to mind. Not only did we share the same birthday, but we also were born at the same hospital, on the same day. Talk about a friendship that goes way back. I would always joke with him about how he was younger than me, even if it were only by a few hours. He was there for me during many life events and will always hold a special place in my heart. We were neighbors and went to school together as kids. We went on our first date together, had our first kiss together, and of course he was my first crush. He was also there for me when my mom passed away. As we grew older, we didn't always see eye to eye regarding everything, but we always tried to look out for one another and stay in contact. At times, this was challenging because we both were very stubborn and wanted to do things our own way. The last conversation we had was him checking in to see how I was doing and how life was going. While our conversation was brief, it was like many of the others that came before. It was us making sure the other was doing ok. Claudio was a good friend with a kind heart. He passed away far too young and will be greatly missed.

Love, Carla

Dear Mr. and Mrs. G, Carlo, Paige, and Kids,

I'm so sorry for the loss of Claudio. Since I heard a few days ago I've struggled with a wave of emotions trying to come to terms with this or what to even say. It hasn't been easy and I can't even begin to imagine what it has been like for all of you. Claudio is involved in so many of my favorite memories growing up. Some of the best stories I have to tell involve him. I'm so grateful to be able say he was a part of my life and proud to call him my best friend growing up. While his time was short his impact on those around him was great. I won't ever forget him, because I can't. I'll forever be reminded of him anytime someone asks me how I met my wife... that I have two daughters I adore because he asked if I wanted to go to a random football game one Friday night back in high school. Claudio was special and he will be dearly missed. Again, I am so sorry for your loss and you will be in my thoughts.

-Brian

JoAnn, Gianfranco, Carlo, Paige, and children..we cannot find words to express how deeply sorry we are to have heard of our dear Claudio's passing. Indeed, he was a gifted young manWe recall the many visits and good memories we made around the dinner table when we visited and the boys were growing up. There were smiles, smirks, surprises, and always plenty of laughter. Those were happy memories; and now there is so much that we don't understand

May you be Blessed with Faith, Hope, Peace and Love. May Claudio rest in Peace and may our Loving, Merciful God receive him into his loving arms.

Much Love, Annie & Hector Irizarry close friends

My deepest sympathies for the entire Gentile family. In our Byzantine Catholic Church, we always say "Eternal Memory" that is, asking Almighty God that He would remember Claudio eternally, while we all wait to be reunited again. From our memorial service: "With the souls of the just brought to perfection, give rest O Savior to soul of your servant, keeping him for the blessed life with You, for You love us all."
