Obituaries

A life well lived but cut too short! A beloved brother, son, and friend. Michael Anthony DiMaria II was born in Clarksburg, WV on May 27, 1978, to the late Michael A. DiMaria I and Sharon E. DiMaria, who resides in Clarksburg, WV. He left this world on March 14th , 2023. He was preceded in death by his father Michael A. DiMaria, I and his sister Kathy Rowh. He was also preceded in death by both paternal grandparents Anthony and Catherine DiMaria and his maternal grandparents Roy and Amanda
Gordon.

Michael was blessed with five siblings, the late Kathy Rowh (Mike) of Bridgeport, Michael DiMaria of Pittsburgh, Melissa DiMaria of San Diego, CA, Cindy Reaser of Newark, DE and Amy Blake (Frank) of Bridgeport. Michael had three nephews, Jonathan Rowh (Katie) of Bridgeport, Adam Rowh (Anna) of
Bridgeport, Anthony Helm of Charlotte, NC and one niece Katlyn Reaser of Newark, DE. Michael has five great nieces and nephews. Michael and Anthony were more like brothers, they were only 18 years apart in age and were always very close. Michael would always express how proud he was of Anthony
to anyone he spoke to.

Michael shared his name his whole life with his older brother, the confusion was real to everyone including Mike and Mike. This made for several jokes to be made of him and by him. Anyone who knew him would agree he was a well-known jokester, not so fashionable dresser, accomplished bartender, avid fantasy football professor and a great friend. He will be deeply missed by everyone who encountered his infectious smile and humor.

Michael graduated from Robert C. Byrd High School in 1996. Shortly after he started his career as a Radio Host on WV Radio. Wow, this was his calling, if you got the chance to hear him then you will understand how wonderful he was at this job. After this he began his true calling as the self- proclaimed “best bartender in WV”. Although, I think we would all agree this was and always will be
his title. He always had a joke or funny comment ready as soon as he saw you.

Michael had so many close friends that were family to him. He loved so much about life, spending time with friends, fantasy football leagues, entertaining people with his humorous personality, holidays with his family, and lunch dates every week with his mom. Michael had so many goals that he was still working on achieving. Michael will forever hold a place in our hearts and memories.

We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will. Those who touch our lives, stay in our hearts forever.

Family and friends may call at the Amos Carvelli Funeral Home, 201 Edison St, Nutter Fort, WV on Sunday, March 19, 2023 from 2:00pm to 6:00pm where the funeral service will be held at the conclusion of the visitation at 6:00pm with Pastor James Malick presiding.
