Stephen (Steve) D. Mattucci

Stephen (Steve) D. Mattucci, 67, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, August 20, 2017. Born and raised in Akron, Ohio where he lived his entire life. He was adamant with his spiritual beliefs and his love for the Lord.

More than anything he truly loved being a father and grandfather and spending as much time with us as possible. Steve had a passion and talent for cooking, especially homemade Italian food.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Shirley and Paul Mattucci. Steve is survived by his beloved children, son, Stephen M. Mattucci; daughter, Jamie Mattucci-Osborne and her husband Mike; granddaughters, Sydnie, Sarah and Michaela; grandsons, Michael and Gunner; brother, Paul Mattucci Jr.; sister, Susan (Craig) Douglas; niece, Eve and nephew, Danny; close friend and mother of his children, Debbie Romis; special friends, Patty Rendino and family, Mark and Sherri Hilbish and many friends at the Fred Nemer Building where he resided.

His children want to give a special and heartfelt thanks to the 3rd floor critical care staff at Summa Akron City Hospital for taking such amazing care of their father.

A funeral service will be held Friday at 12 noon at House of Eberhardt Funeral Home, 472 W. Turkeyfoot Lake Rd., (Rt. 619) Portage Lakes. Family and friends will be received Thursday, from 5 to 8 p.m. and on Friday, from 10 a.m. until the time of the service at the funeral home.

Stephen, I'm thinking of you today. It's now 2023 and I suppose you met your daughter, Jamie, at the gate several days back. She really missed you. See you soon. Life is shorter now brother! We miss you. Heaven's our destination.

We will miss Steve. He was always ready for a gab fest.
Always bragging on his family. He loved you guys so much.
I even started calling him "Dapper Dan".
He never was without his "shades" and hat.
Rest in peace Steve , you and your family will be in our prayers.
Chrissy and Mary.

Man, "Big Steve" will be missed! He was visiting the church I attend. Growing up with his son was so cool because of his cooking and love of wrestling. May the Lord be with the family and rest his soul!

Stephen and I were cousins and best of friends. We went to Buchtel together. He was one grade behind me. Stephen and I always found something funny to laugh about is why I enjoyed his company so much. He was a good friend/cousin and I know he is in the hands of the Lord now. God bless his family; his daughter and son and grandchildren as I know he will be dearly missed.

Steve was a friend since our son was born. That's when we got to know him. He and Debbie used to babysit our son, Eric when I had to go back to work, and when later when Steve had his own children my son would be at their home playing with little Steve.

He always had a word, whether funny or about things in life. His favorite nickname for me was "Dingbat" which I loved.

We had lost contact with Steve for a few years then got back in contact.

He loved to talk about his homemade pizza and other foods he loved to cook.

He loved talking about the Lord, his children and grandchildren.

He loved going to be with his family on the holidays.

Steve was a good guy and we loved him, he loved us as friends.

He talked a lot about how he could hardly wait to get to heaven and see Jesus one day.

I will miss him.

As his sister, Steve liked to call me near the holidays and ask if I was going to Temo's soon to get some of their chocolate covered marshmellow, maybe I could pick him up some. I could almost hear him drooling talking about it. He loved that chocolate! I'm sure they have something as good or finer in Heaven for him.
Love you my brother !
