Michael P. Giannetta Jr.

Giannetta, Michael P., Jr., - 34, of Galloway, entered into the joy of his Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, March 27th, 2021. He is survived by his loving parents Michael P. Giannetta and Susette Giannetta; siblings Cherish [Jeramie], Gabby, Lacey, Josh, Marigold, and Daisy; nephews Damon and Aiden Cooper; grandparents Carole and John Eschbach and David and Trisha Hoy; aunts, uncles, and cousins; and loving girlfriend, Christina Cibotti. He was predeceased by grandparents Anthony and Inez Giannetta. Born in Somers Point, Michael grew up in EHT playing baseball, surfing, and skateboarding. As an adult, he enjoyed the beach, golf, and riding his motorcycle on a nice day. He was known for his goofiness and joking manner and his presence would instantly light up a room. His infectious smile, hearty laugh, and warm heart immediately put others at ease. He was a loving brother and son, the protector of all his siblings. In overcoming his own personal battles, he became passionate in helping others to achieve their best through health and fitness as a personal trainer. He connected with his clients on a personal level and CARED about each and every one of them. A sought-after instructor at Tilton Athletic Club before launching his own personal training business, MPG Health & Fitness, Michael's dedicated, motivating, and no-nonsense attitude helped his clients achieve their goals. He enriched the lives of those around him, building personal relationships and making his clients feel like their success was his success. In addition to the impact he made each and every day through training, he was also a licensed realtor, bodybuilder, and cat dad to Athena. Despite his tough exterior, those close to him saw his soft and caring nature. He loved sunsets on the beach, black coffee, and spending hours on end talking and laughing with the woman he loved, Christina. He was an inspiration to all and was loved by countless friends and family, including the Patel family, his buddy Mike Conway, his Workout Crew, and many others whose lives were changed by Michael's loving spirit. He will be deeply missed, but we are comforted knowing he is happy in Heaven.
