Michael Trapasso of South Salem NY passed away peacefully at home on January 30th, 2022, at the age of 61. Mike was born on April 11th, 1960, and raised in White Plains NY by his loving parents Roland and Mae Trapasso. Mike grew up on Battle Hill as did the love of his life and wife Patty. They were married on August 24th, 1991.
Mike began working for the City of White Plains NY in both the highway and parks and recreation department for over 20 years and never looked back. Mike really enjoyed spending time with his family. He enjoyed talking about movies with his son Matthew and having deep heartfelt conversations with his son Michael about anything and everything going on in the world. Mike was a simple man who enjoyed the simple things in life. He enjoyed trying out a new restaurant, watching a new movie or show along with some of the classics, even something as small as finding a new favorite flavor of ice cream could make his day and life was good. One constant in Mikes life was that family was really important to him. He spent many summers and holidays in Cape Cod with his family and parents, he was a dedicated son.
Mike was predeceased by his parents Roland and Mae Trapasso. In addition to his wife Patricia (Nee McDonnell), he leaves behind two sons, Michael Jr. and Matthew, along with three sisters, Stephanie Trapasso, Jane and Ed Unterman, Titi and Darby Walsh as well his numerous brothers and sisters in law Mary Barber, Peggy and Lonnie Young, Eileen and Cosmo Preiato, Marian Farucci, Frances and Ed Pinkham, and Noreen Scuiletti along with many nieces and nephews that loved him dearly. He will be sorely missed, taken too soon.

Michael entered this world into difficult circumstances at the least. As a child and as a young man, Mike stood valiant against harsh conditions at home. He was a hard worker with an uncommon capacity to forgive. Mike was innocent in profound ways yet strong. Notwithstanding setbacks, mike kept his eyes forward and loved his family above all. He was proud. He was the best friend I would ever have. I love him beyond words--I always will--and I miss him so much it hurts. I love you, Michael, you were My best friend and I will never forget you.

With eternal love,

Your sister Stephanie
