Karena and the D’Amico boys

With a heavy heart I share that on September 26th Steve D’Amico, 41, suddenly passed away. Steve was well known as coach Steve. Often coaching the boys basketball and baseball teams here in Howard beach and Ozone Park. He was a like a teddy bear. A kind and funny man who was devoted to his family. If you ever needed anything he would never hesitate to lend a helping hand.

His wife Karena was born and raised in Howard Beach and if you know her you instantly fall in love with her. She would give you the shirt off her back. She met Steve in 2005 and they were married in 2008. Their boys Stevie (11) and Dylan (8) are both attending school here in Howard Beach. Stevie has type 1 diabetes and celiac disease and Karena handles it with such ease. She is truly an amazing mom and person. I started this go fund me to help my beloved friend who is now left alone to raise these two boys. I know anything you can give will be so greatly appreciated.
