In Loving Memory of Viterbo Genao

January 15, 1939 – August 1, 2025

It is with deep sorrow and immense love that we announce the passing of Viterbo Genao, who

departed this life on August 1, 2025, at the age of 86 in Brooklyn, New York.

Born on January 15, 1939, in López Santiago, Dominican Republic to Viterbo Luis Genao and

Anadelia Reyes along with his siblings: Ligia, Hilda, Dilenia, Isabel, Flor, Dominicana, Armando,

Luis, Antonio, and Jose Francisco.

Viterbo lived a full and beautiful life centered around his love for family and his boundless joy for

life. He was a devoted husband, a proud father, an adoring grandfather and great-grandfather,

and a beloved friend to many.

Viterbo is survived by his cherished wife, Rosa Genao, his beloved children: Edwin Genao,

Carmen Genao, Jose Genao, Victor Genao, Maribel Genao, and Robin Genao. He leaves

behind a treasured legacy through his grandchildren: Abigail Martinez, Kiara Martinez,

Anneliese Genao, Nathaniel Genao, Lianna Matthews, Liam Genao, and Adelyn Genao, as well

as his great-grandchildren, Noah James and Mia Jusino.

Known for his warm heart, infectious laughter, and the joy he brought into every room, Viterbo

was the heart of his family. Whether it was through his humor, or his simple presence, Viterbo

left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

His life was a testament to the power of love, resilience, and devotion. Though he may no

longer be with us in body, his spirit will live on through the memories he created and the family

he nurtured with such care.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
