Michael L. Valentino, 66 of Milford, CT, passed away on April 12, 2025

Michael L. Valentino, 66 of Milford, CT, passed away peacefully at his home on April 12, 2025. Michael was born on October 19, 1958, in Reading, PA, to the late Naomi Zebert Valentino.

Michael attended Jonathan Law High School and later built a strong career at Olympic Steel, where he worked as a dedicated crane operator. Known for his diligence and strong work ethic, he took pride in a job well done.

Outside of work, Michael found joy in the simple pleasures of life—riding his motorcycle on warm, sunny days or parking his truck at the beach to watch the waves roll in and the boats drift through the bay. He was an avid reader who appreciated quiet evenings at home and treasured time with family and friends. Michael was a caring and loyal father and friend, always willing to go the extra mile for the people he loved. His generosity, dependability, and quiet strength will be deeply missed.

Michael is survived by his beloved daughter Nicole Valentino and her partner Kris Packer, sister Sharon Grasso, sister Rosanne Healey and brother-in-law William Healey. As well as his nephews Robert Battista, William P. Healey and his wife Renee, Sean Healey, niece Erin Healey and great nephew William R. Healey. In addition to his mother, he is predeceased by his brother-in-law Gerald Grasso.

Family and friends are invited to gather on Thursday, April 17, 2025, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Cody-White Funeral Home, 107 Broad Street, Milford.
