Michael Spaventa Obituary
Michael was a man who lived life to the fullest. He was the life of the party and a vibrant storyteller who brought joy and laughter to everyone around him. He was a loving husband, father, and PopPop who adored his family. Michael was also a devoted Philadelphia Eagles fan who never missed a game.
In his free time, Michael enjoyed playing golf and watching boxing and football. He especially loved spending time with his grandchildren, Julian, Liliana, and Penelope.
Michael is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Donna Spaventa, as well as his mother, Gladys "Virginia" Spaventa, and father, Angelo Spaventa. He is survived by his brothers, Paul Spaventa and Joseph Spaventa, his sister, Barbara Lepore, his daughter, Lisa Wilson, and his grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Hard Rock Hotel Daytona on Friday, May 12th, from 1-3pm. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Michael's name to the American Heart Association, at heart.org/donate.
Rest in peace, Michael. You will be deeply missed by all who knew you.

Michael Spaventa, so many memories. I remember the day you married my sister Donna. You two are now together once again. Watch over us all. Especially Lisa and Brett and those beautiful precious grand babies. They will miss you and so many memories they can carry forever. RIP.

So many crazy times with Mike. We shared our young adult life, visiting each other at college, sharing an efficiency apt. at Yorkshire Arms, dancing at the London Inn, playing pool at the Dutchmaid Tavern and mostly laughing so hard we´d cry. No one like him, I´ll miss him forever. RIP Mike, you really had a wonderfully joyful life.
