Wilmington, NC—The community is coming together to support April, the grieving mother of Michael Capitti III, who passed away unexpectedly just days before his 37th birthday. Michael’s sudden departure has left his family and friends in deep sorrow, particularly his mother, who has been struggling to cope with the loss of her beloved son.
Katherine Dzenko, a neighbor, has organized a fundraiser to help April honor Michael with a loving tribute. Despite facing her own challenges, including losing her sight a few years ago, April shared a strong bond with Michael, who called her daily to check on her and celebrate her achievements, no matter how small they seemed. He took immense pride in her progress, such as her ability to navigate her surroundings independently and manage daily tasks despite her visual impairment.
Michael, a passionate sports fan, was known for his love of the 49ers and the Yankees, often seen wearing jerseys of his favorite teams along with his cross necklace. Although he faced physical challenges, living with only one leg, Michael remained a constant source of support and encouragement for his mother.
The fundraiser aims to raise $200 to help April obtain a handmade fingerprint pendant of Michael, a unique keepsake that she can hold close during difficult times. As April cannot see photos of her son, this pendant would provide her with a tangible way to feel connected to him, allowing her to trace the ridges of his fingerprint whenever she misses him.
As of now, $27 has been raised through the generous contributions of Garrett Dayton and Katherine Dzenko, who have donated $7 and $20, respectively. The community’s support, no matter the amount, is crucial in helping April feel the love and compassion that surrounds her during this heartbreaking time.
We extend our deepest condolences to April and the entire Capitti family. May Michael Capitti III rest in peace, and may his memory continue to bring comfort and strength to those who loved him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
