Carmine Yonnone IV

He was also referred to as Carmy, Crammin, Carmel-Warmel, or Harriet, as his grandfather, Papa, would say. He also said, “Carmine is expected and anticipated to become the heir apparent of Albert Einstein, particularly in his hairstyle. We have every confidence that he will wow the world with his vast knowledge of the Dewey Decimal System at the Library of Congress.”

Carmine was smart, funny, kind, loving, and an all around good person. Carmine could build a house from the ground up, and was the family mechanic. He knew how to fix anything, and was always there to help anyone. He’d carry on a conversation like no other. He was a dedicated father and loved his children very much. His presence was huge, filling the room with joy and laughter. His energy is too big to disappear. We’ll still see him everywhere, in everything he’s ever worked on, and the things that we still need his help with. He’ll be remembered in every corner of our lives and will live on in our hearts forever.

His family was the most important thing to him. Carmine IV is survived by his father, Carmine Yonnone III, his mother, Eileen Payne, and stepfather, Steve Payne. His big sister, Jessica Yonnone. His children, Sophie, Carmine V, Kalvin, and stepchildren, Jayvin and Donovan. His beloved fiance, Keri Schmidt. His friend and the mother of Sophie, Carmine, and Marcanthony, Heather Romeo. His good friend, and sister's boyfriend, Dylan Hasting. As well as many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Carmine IV is predeceased by his son, Marcanthony Yonnone. His grandparents, Charlie “Papa” and Bea McNeill, Carmine II and Jane Yonnone.
