DANBURY, CT — Mark Anthony DeMarsico, 31 of Danbury, passed away on Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023 in New York.

Mark Anthony was born in Danbury to Gina (Gagliardi) DeMarsico and the late Mark DeMarsico on Jan. 2, 1992. He attended New Fairfield High School and went to Mitchell College, both in Connecticut. Mark Anthony worked as an electrician in New York City for many years. Mark Anthony loved anything to do with cars, especially German ones. The way his eyes lit up and when he started telling everyone all the facts he knew about a certain car that drove by showed that enthusiasm.

He loved his family, music, attending music festivals, concerts with friends, traveling the country and the world, and driving around finding new places to explore and all things tech. Mark Anthony’s smile and laugh were contagious; he could walk into a room and instantly become friends with anyone. He was a kind and caring young man who will be greatly missed.

Mark Anthony is preceded in death by his father Mark DeMarsico and his maternal grandparents Anthony (Sharkey) and Jean Gagliardi and his paternal grandparents Richard and Theresa DeMarsico. He is also predeceased by his uncle, Anthony Gagliardi.

His loving mother Gina DeMarsico and his beloved partner in life Briana Leger survive Mark Anthony along with his sisters Savanna and Dominique DeMarsico, several aunts, uncles, cousins, and so many close friends; and his favorite chunky cat and best friend Cookie and two dogs Harley and Toto also survive Mark Anthony.
