With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce the passing of Damaso Nazario, who left this world on April 15, 2026, just shy of his 70th birthday. Born on May 25, 1953, in the vibrant borough of Brooklyn, New York, Damaso was a cherished son to his parents, Damaso Nazario and Maria Guzman. He was a beloved brother, father, grandfather, and friend, whose life was a testament to kindness, wisdom, and joy.

After his schooling, he embarked on a career as a window installer in Manhattan, a role he filled with dedication and pride. His meticulous attention to detail and strong work ethic were appreciated by both colleagues and clients alike. Damaso was a man of many pleasures, with a heart that found joy in the simple yet profound. His love for checkers was well-known among friends and family, often leading to spirited games that were as much about camaraderie as competition. An avid fan of "Star Trek," Damaso found inspiration in its exploration of the human spirit and the vastness of possibility. His passion for action movies offered him moments of excitement and thrill, while baseball brought him a sense of community and belonging, particularly when cheering for his beloved New York Yankees.

He was predeceased by Marie Torlone, Phyllis Milazzo, and Ana Nazario, who undoubtedly welcomed him into the hereafter with open arms. His legacy lives on in the hearts of those he leaves behind—his grandchildren, siblings, daughters, and countless friends who were touched by his generosity of spirit. In honoring Damaso's wishes, a private funeral ceremony will be held, allowing his family to gather in an intimate setting to celebrate his life and bid him a tender farewell. Though the ceremony is private, the love and memories that he leaves behind are abundant and shared widely among those who knew him. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to all who have offered their condolences and support during this difficult time. In a special message, they express, "Danny, you will forever be missed by your grandchildren, siblings, your daughters, and friends. Thank you for the cherished moments we had together."
