Michael Malinconico

Michael Malinconico, 66, of Toms River, NJ and Clearwater, FL, passed away suddenly on Monday, September 20, 2021 in Clearwater, FL. Born in Passaic, NJ, Michael had lived in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ and Saratoga Springs, NY before moving to Toms River, and recently became a part-time resident of Clearwater, FL. Michael was a Retail Manager for his entire career and owned his own convenience store in the 90s.

Michael had a love for his NY sports teams, especially the Yankees and Giants. He enjoyed a good game of golf and bowling, and going to dozens of concerts with his wife Nancy, most notably The Rolling Stones. Throughout his recent retirement, he savored competing in poker tournaments and winning many championships.

His greatest achievement was dedicating his life to supporting his loved ones. He always made time to listen to anyone, not just his family. He freely gave such great advice and often would help with any recommendations he made. He was our life coach and made lasting impressions on everyone he met. He was a cherished family member and friend and will be greatly missed by us all. Our loss, Heaven’s gain.

Michael was predeceased by his parents, Michael and Lucille Malinconico and is survived by his loving wife Nancy of 45 years, his two children: son Matthew and his wife Elizabeth, daughter Angela, and his beloved grandson Wesley. Michael is also survived by his sister Anita Guido and her husband Michael, his mother- in- law Gloria del Lupo, his sister-in-law Rita Briles and his loving niece and nephews.
