Michael Daniel
Ciraso
Jul 6, 1973 — Oct 8, 2022
Michael Daniel Ciraso, 49, passed away suddenly on the afternoon of Oct 8th, 2022 at home in Nashua, NH.
Mike was born in Boston, MA where he grew up and graduated from Waltham High School. A member of a big, Irish, Catholic, extended family-Mike loved their family get togethers where inevitably everyone would sing, dance and laugh together.
It wasn't all fun with Mike though. He was hardworking and endured grueling, long, out-of-state commutes to and from work. Eventually, he was made a member of the 4th local elevator Union, a job he worked very hard for and was proud to have.
Mike's early life was full with friends and family but his life truly began when he took a trip with his friend to Guadalajara and met the love of his life, Nelly. Their connection was immediate, and he loved her with his whole heart. They bought a home and settled in Nashua where they built a life together and were blessed to quickly welcome their sons, Giovanni and Anthony. He was so proud of his boys and they gave him great joy.
Michael loved nothing more than spending time with the boys. Watching them play soccer and skiing with them on nearby mountains. His voice could always be heard on the sidelines, booming over the others, with words of encouragement. He was their biggest cheerleader and considered them his greatest accomplishment.
He is survived by his wife, Alma "Nelly"; his sons, Giovanni "Gio" and Anthony Ciraso; his mother, Mary Ciraso, of Waltham; his sisters, Dawn Wilford and Paula Corbett, of Leominster, and many cousins.
Mike was preceded in death by his father, Rocco, and his beloved Uncles, Raymond (Ray) and Robin McNamara.
