Anthony DelMastro

Anthony DelMastro, 58, was suddenly taken from his devoted husband and family without the time to say goodbye. Our love for him will live on forever. No words can express the shock and pain that we are all feeling with his passing. We will forever remember his strong laugh, sense of humor, and caring of others.

He leaves in sadness, his husband Kirk Donegan parents Emilio and Mary Rose DelMastro, sister Deneen DelMastro, brother Joseph DelMastro and his companion Laura Ambrosi-Ferguson, and sister Annmarie and her husband Frank Catania. He also leaves behind his mother and father-in-law Carol and Thomas Donegan, grandmother

Florence Natale, sisters and brothers-in-law Dawn and Ted Gresik and Jeffrey and Eleana Donegan. He loved his nieces Tyesha Bell and Caitlyn Donegan and his nephews Frank Catania Jr, Vincent Catania, Joseph Catania, Dominic Catania, Timothy Bell, Joshua Gresik, Matthew Gresik, Nicholas Donegan and Aidan Donegan he spent countless hours with them over the years. He also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, and cousins who meant the world to him.

Anthony was born in Hartford and was raised in Rocky Hill where he attended elementary and middle school. He spent his high school years at South Catholic High School graduating in 1983. Anthony went on to CCSU and graduated in 1987 with his Bachelor's degree in Finance. He began his working career at the Travelers Insurance Company upon graduating and remained there into his early 30’s. Anthony later worked for multiple financial consulting companies including CSC, DST, Vertex and most recently at Spark IPS. His strong work ethic combined with his attention to detail, caring nature and loving personality allowed him to excel in the workplace. Anthony was loved and cherished by countless lifelong friends and was respected and admired by his coworkers. Nearly everyone he met became a friend with whom he cared for. Anthony would do anything for his parents and his love for them was endless but his life was not complete until he met his beloved husband, Kirk. Anthony became an even better man with Kirk by his side. They married in September, 2016 and finally were living the life they deserved and longed for. Anthony and Kirk settled in Cheshire with their cherished canine sons, Jed and Oliver that he loved and spoiled. They enjoyed spending the summers at their cottage in Old Colony Beach in Old Lyme and spending time with family and friends. Anthony, we are at a loss. You will NEVER be forgotten.
