Visit the Ripepi Funeral Home - Parma website to view the full obituary.

MICHAEL DOMINIC RIZZUTTO, age 89; beloved husband of the late Doreen May Rizzutto (nee Poet); loving father of Dena Beltz (Michael) and David Gregory (Vicki, deceased); proud grandfather of Caitlyn Nicole Waryu (Jacob) and Michael Beltz (fiancée, Alexis Dixon); extra proud great grandfather of his granddaughter Addison Mae Waryu; brother of the late James Rizzutto (June) and Thomas Rizzutto (Lucy); uncle and friend of many. Michael loved spending time with his family, watching his grandchildren play sports and grow into loving adults. He and Doreen enjoyed their many trips to Las Vegas. Michael spent the last 13 plus years meeting with his friends (extended family really) for breakfast at least three times a week at the Original Pancake House in Rocky River, OH. Michael made friends wherever he went, he was a stranger to no one. His laugh and sense of humor will never be forgotten. Family would like to thank everyone who continued to reach out and check on Michael during this past month as his journey came to an end. This meant the world to his daughter. Interment, with Military Honors, at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery, Thursday, November 20, 2025 at 12:45 p.m.
