elevated cCllL Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Marco Ciotola on Wednesday June 7, 2023.
Beloved son of Gaetano and Elisa, twin of Paolo (Kristin), and brother to Linda, Marisa (Vince) and Ron (Celia). Zio to Andrew, Davide, Amelia, Leo, Elena, Joseph and Julia.
From the moment that Marco was born, his inner joy seemed to shine. He was well loved by all and never had a shortage of family and friends that wanted to spend time with him.
Marco loved spending time with his family. Gatherings were always full of love and joy; especially when they involved special occasions.
Marco was Pa’s right hand and ensured that his siblings never stepped out of line and later his nephews and nieces. Marco overcame so many obstacles in life and was a gentle kind soul who touched the lives of many people who were lucky to have known him.
