Obituary
Philip Fazio, 68, of Ft. Myers, Florida passed away surrounded by his loving family on April 16, 2024
while battling cancer.
Born on March 10th, 1956, in Paterson, New Jersey, to Anthony and Lillian (Pennacchio) Fazio. He
was a devoted husband, beloved father and pop, a friend and mentor who touched the lives of
many.
Phil graduated from Montclair State University studying accounting and finance. He served as chief
financial officer to many organizations, most notably in Syracuse, New York at SRC, where his
legacy is one of leadership, care, and kindness.
Phil was a frequent concertgoer, an avid golfer and sports fan, but mostly enjoyed spending time
with his family.
Phil is survived by his wife of 41 years, Meg (Beronio) Fazio; his children, Kelly Vespole (David), John
Fazio (Jennifer), and James Fazio; and his beautiful grandchildren, Avyana, Violet, Olivia, Vincent,
Benjamin, and Margaret, who were the twinkle in his eye. He is also survived by a loving and
supportive extended family.
A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
From coaching youth sports to mentoring future leaders, Phil’s desire to improve the lives of those
around will be sorely missed by all who knew him. His humility, wit, and generosity will always be
remembered.
“And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make”
RIP my friend
I am truly saddened by your tremendous loss. I remember lots of laughter at Meg and Phil’s. He was a great guy. You were blessed to have him, but certainly all of you were the best part of his life. Stay strong. With love, Virginia

You were like a third brother Phil. I am so saddened - yankee games, batting cages and even umpired my little league games.
I hope you never lost sight of how much you were loved as our cousin
Rest in peace.
