Michael Iannazzo Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 16, 2025.
Michael "Mike" Christopher Iannazzo, age 55, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 4, 2025.

Mike was born on September 13, 1969, in New Rochelle, New York. His family lived briefly in the Bronx before settling in New Milford, Connecticut, where he spent the remainder of his childhood.

Mike was the beloved son of Joseph and Nancy (Zeumann) Iannazzo of New Milford. He graduated from Abbott Tech and went on to attend Indiana Tech University.

Mike was a man of many talents, passions, and accomplishments. Among his proudest achievements were earning the rank of Eagle Scout, competing as a bull rider, and contributing to major aerospace projects, including work on the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station.

In addition to his professional achievements, Mike had a wide range of personal interests. He enjoyed cooking, watching NASCAR, drawing, and was known for his creative mind as a visionary inventor.

Mike had a distinguished career in the aerospace industry. He worked at many companies across the industry with much of his time at Pratt & Whitney & Boeing. These opportunities had led him to live and work in various locations, including Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Nagoya, Japan; and Everett, Washington.

Mike was predeceased by his mother, Nancy (Zeumann) Iannazzo, and his twin sister, Lisa Ann Iannazzo. He is survived by his father, Joseph Iannazzo, and his beloved twin sons, Nicholas and Michael P. Iannazzo.

As Mike said in his own words "It is my hope that all those who have an inkling to design new things - whether in the kitchen or the drawing board, do so. If not for yourself, for the rest of us."

No formal services are planned, the family asks that you remember Mike in your own special way.
