Michael Joseph Crifaci, 73, of Florida, passed away on Monday, Jan. 22, 2024.

He was a son of the late Salvatore Crifaci and Josephine G. Crifaci.

He started his lifelong career working for his father at his Pepsi Cola distributors company in Butler. When he moved to South Florida, he continued his dedication and love for Pepsi by going to work for Pompano Beach Pepsi Co. Distribution. He first started off as a delivery driver and moved his way up the company ladder to sales supervisor.

During this time, he had his precious loving daughter, Shannon Lynn Crifaci, on April 22, 1978. He was an extremely frugal man and lived a very consistent life. He had his one home, one marriage, one child and one job. He was a family man and loved his family more than anything. When he married his ex-wife, he also took on caring for her two children and her niece, Robin. He loved them as if they were his own, even after his divorce in 1997. He was a very loyal and dedicated man. He is and will forever be deeply missed.

I will forever hold my dad close to my heart and cherish all the good times we had together. My dad has already shown me that he is here with me now, and I am so happy he is not gone forever, but just gone for the moment. I love you dad!! Shannon.

His interests included Pepsi, his grandchildren and his daughter, comedy shows, the Miami Dolphins and the Pittsburgh Steelers, and his 1972 Chevy Monte Carlo (his first car he purchased and kept until 2019).

Surviving are his daughter, Shannon Lynn Crifaci; his granddaughter, Nyah Lynn Larionne; his grandson, Anthony Tobin Larionne; and his baby sister, Antoinette C. Crifaci.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Nicoletta Crifaci.
