Michael Cafaro Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hansen Desert Hills Mortuary and Cemetery - Scottsdale on Jul. 22, 2025.
It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my Husband Michael Cafaro, who died on July 18, 2025, at the age of 69 at his home in Scottsdale AZ.

He was a beloved Husband to Elvira Cafaro for 48 years, cherished son to Bambina Cafaro, his sisters Angie and Rosie Cafaro, and his brothers Tony and Dino Cafaro and nephew Anthony from Montreal, Canada and his brother-in-law Attila. Michael was preceded by death of his father Costanzo Cafaro.

Michael was a retired Executive Vice President at Helen of Troy, in El Paso TX. and his workplace was his second Family.

Jerry Rubin CEO of Helen of Troy was his mentor, and a good friend.

His dearest friend Raymond Tang and his wife Margaret from Hong Kong came to honor him.

Michael will be remembered for his kind heart, sense of humor, and love of life, and travel.

Memorial Service will be held for Family and Friends on August 03, 2025, at 4:00 PM at Hansen Desert Hills Mortuary 6500 E, Bell Rd, Scottsdale AZ 85254.

Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.
