It is with deep sadness that we share the loss of Rocco Caruso, a beloved husband, father, and friend, who passed away after a courageous three-year battle with cancer. Rocco’s passing leaves a profound void for his wife, Panagiota, and their 11-year-old daughter, Maria.

Rocco was born on December 13, 1977, in the Bronx, to Domenick and Marilyn Caruso. He spent the last ten years living in Rye, where he created a warm and loving home with Panagiota and Maria. For 25 years, Rocco worked as an electrician and was a proud member of Local Union 3.

Rocco’s memory will live on in the heartfelt moments he shared with Maria, his love of cooking, his sense of humor, and his devotion to his family and friends. He will be deeply missed by his wife, daughter, siblings, nieces, nephews, and extended family.

In the wake of this tragic loss, Panagiota now faces not only the grief of losing her partner, but also the responsibility of supporting herself and Maria financially. After dedicating herself to their family, she is now navigating the challenges of returning to the workforce while managing the financial burdens that come with funeral expenses and everyday life.

We are reaching out to you, our community, for support during this incredibly difficult time for Panagiota and Maria. Your donations will help cover funeral costs and provide them with the stability they need as they begin to rebuild their lives without Rocco. Every contribution, no matter the size, will go directly to helping them in this moment of need.

If you are unable to donate financially, your thoughts, prayers, and kind messages of support will mean the world to the family.

On behalf of Panagiota and Maria, thank you for your kindness and generosity as they navigate this heart-wrenching journey. Your support helps them feel surrounded by love as they honor Rocco’s memory and move forward together.
