Charles Michael Cacioppo, 69, passed away October 30, 2020 after a brief illness.

Michael was born June 2, 1951 to Joseph and Erla (Dankin) Cacioppo in Akron and had been a Green resident most of his life. He graduated in the top ten of his class of 280 from Green High School in 1969 and attended both the University of Akron and Kent State with degrees in accounting and history. He had been employed by the City of Akron as a Housing Rehab Specialist for over 25 years, retiring in 2019.

Michael is survived by his wife Lisa; son Joseph "Eddy" (Denise) Cacioppo and their children Izabelle, Rafferty, and Macullen; daughter Victoria (Mark) Lumbatis and their children Aubrea, Katelyn, Emily, Jonathan and her step children Tina, Blake and Cory, great grandchildren Karyssa, Asher, and Kohen; step-daughter Allison (Eric) Vought and their daughter Rafaella; step-daughter Lacy (Mike) Roberts and their son Grayson; step-daughter Emily Kontur and her children Elisa and Declan; brothers Joseph (Kim) Cacioppo and Rick (Pam) Cacioppo; many nieces and nephews; and his faithful companion Ellie May.

The family is especially grateful to his cousin Vicki Stone who always made sure he had pignolatta cookies and to Dr. Terrence Jackson who showed genuine compassion and care at his darkest time and reminded him that there is light at the end of the day if we just believe, and he did.

No services are planned at this time. In lieu of other remembrances, donations may be made to the Akron Zoo, Attention: Development, 500 Edgewood Ave., Akron, OH 44307
