Michael DiBiase Sr. Obituary

Visit the Burns Garfield Funeral Home - Syracuse website to view the full obituary.

Michael L. DiBiase, Sr., 72, of Jamesville, NY, passed away on February 16, 2026. Born on April 15, 1953, in Syracuse, he spent his life rooted in Central New York, where he built a career, a family, and a community of friends who will miss him deeply.

Michael enjoyed a long and successful career in sales and management within the floorcovering industry, working across Central New York and earning the respect of colleagues and customers alike. He was also an active member of the Jamesville Chamber of Commerce, serving in various roles and contributing to the growth and vitality of the community.

His lifelong love of cars began early, spending time with his father at the DiBiase Service Center. That interest never faded—over the years he owned a variety of muscle cars, including his beloved Oldsmobile 442s and a Pontiac GTO.

Michael is survived by his children, Michael Jr. (Darcy), Eric, and Stephanie (Edward) Kashmer; and by his grandchildren, Michael, Mia, and Jack; and his siblings, Anthony (Carla) and Natalie.

Calling Hours for Michael will be held on Saturday, February 21, 2026 from 10 am -12 pm at Burns-Garfield Funeral Home.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Dup15q Alliance to advance research, treatment options and to support families affected by Dup15q.
