Michael Gargas

Kaye Gargas (deceased), passed away peacefully on Friday, July 2, 2021,

surrounded by his family. Born on June 1, 1948, in Newark, New Jersey,

son of Michael Gargas (deceased) and Teresa Mustacchio (deceased), he

is survived by three daughters and their husbands, Tanya and BJ West of

New Smyrna Beach, FL, Tara and Eric Novotny of Waterford, VA, and

Tammy and Peter Ferris of Glastonbury, CT, by two brothers and their

wives, John and Maureen Gargas and James and Elaine Mustacchio, and

six grandchildren Tyler, Derek, Brooke, Chloe, Michael, and Anita.

Mike was a devoted husband and loving father; providing for the family was

his first priority. He was very proud of his children and grandchildren, and

was often found cheering them on. He was a successful business owner

and an avid supporter of creating opportunities for people with disabilities.

He impacted the lives of so many with his generosity, love, and kindness.

He loved boating, travel, anything Greek, the GOP, and enjoying food with

friends and family. He had a tremendous sense of humor and was famous

for recounting entertaining stories of his childhood. His uncontrollable

laughter will be deeply missed by many.

A memorial will be celebrated on Saturday, July 31, at 10 am in the chapel

of Volusia Memorial Funeral Home, 4815 Clyde Morris Boulevard, Port

Orange, Florida 32129.

In lieu of flowers, please make a difference for someone in need.
