Dominick Anthony Mazza

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dominick (Donnie), a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. Donnie passed away on September 19 at the age of 86. He lived a full and honorable life, leaving a lasting legacy of dedication, passion, and kindness.

He was a proud member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 400 for over 60 years. His career in the electrical field began with Little Silver Electric, where he worked as a journeyman wireman, foreman, and supervisor. His skill and dedication to his craft were evident in every role he took on, and he was a respected leader and mentor. Donnie generously shared his knowledge and expertise by teaching first and second year apprentices, helping shape the careers of countless individuals in the trade. He retired in 1997, but continued his work as an educator until 2020, leaving behind a profound impact on the industry.

His passion for his craft was matched by his love for golf and skiing. He began playing golf at the age of 10 and quickly became known for his skill and sportsmanship. Throughout his life, he amassed numerous awards, including the prestigious Club Championship, and was also recognized with a hole-in-one award. Donnie's handicap was an impressive 1.8, a testament to his dedication to the game.

In addition to golf, he was an accomplished skier and racer. A proud member of the Monmouth Ski Club, he spent many winters honing his skills on the slopes and enjoying the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts.

Donnie’s love for adventure didn’t end with his hobbies. He was a proud veteran of the National Guard, where he served his country with honor and commitment. When he wasn’t busy with all of these activities and enjoying time with his family, he loved to tend to his garden and his prized fig tree.

He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Carolyn, whom he cherished, his three daughters, Lisa and John Cummings, Lori and Robert Babiak, and Donna and Lonnie Fortuna, seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren whom he loved and adored. Also survived by a sister, Loretta Chebookjian and her husband Harry, his sister-in-law, Ginny Mazza and pre-deceased by his brother Frankie Mazza. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him. His legacy of hard work, devotion, and passion for life will continue to inspire those who were fortunate to cross his path.

A celebration of Donnie’s life will be held at Damiano Funeral Home on Wednesday, September 24th from 4-8 pm and on Thursday from 10 am until the time of the service at 10:30 am. Entombment will follow at Woodbine Mausoleum in Oceanport. Memorial donations may be made in his memory to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis TN 38105
