Arthur C. Damiano, known lovingly to family and friends as Art, passed away on May 23, 2026, in Summerfield, Florida at the age of 94. Born September 30, 1931, in Newark, New Jersey, he lived a long and faithful life marked by his hard work, devotion to his family, service to his church, and a warm sense of humor that endeared him to many.
Art was the son of the late Arthur O. Damiano and Anna Scala Damiano and was also preceded by death by two brothers, Joseph and Donald Damiano and his sister Joan Gillease. He carried the values of his upbringing throughout his life. Those who knew him remember a man who was kind, funny, and loving, and who also had a way of making others feel welcomed and at ease.
In his early years Art worked for General Motors. He went on to pursue a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. After returning to New Jersey, he worked for several years in the manufacturing industry. Following his marriage to his wife Dianne (Dahlberg) Damiano, they moved to the Atlanta area where they opened their own business.
Art always found a way to serve his local church. He often joked, “it was the least I could do. If I could have done anything less, I would have done that.” Those words reflected his humor.
Art was very handy and enjoyed fixing things. He will be remembered for his kindness and humor; but most of all Art was a man of integrity. His friends and family will forever cherish the memories of his laughter, his practical wisdom, and the example he set by the way he lived his life.
Though he is no longer with us, his legacy of love, serve, and faith will continue in the hearts of those who knew him. May he rest in the peace of Christ and may those who mourn be comforted by the assurance of God’s eternal care.
