Obituary for Jeffrey J. Capomaccio
Capomaccio, Jeffrey J.
With deepest sorrow, we announce that Jeffrey Capomaccio (Jeff), our beloved son, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend passed away suddenly on January 16th, 2022. He was the son of Bruno and Kathleen (Doud) Capomaccio and brother to Kelly Marie Bunce, Brittany (Bunce) Buffington, and her husband Rod Buffington. Although he was only with us for 28 years, he accomplished a lot and inspired many people along the way. He was very smart and once he found his passion for the Environment and Science, he excelled at MCC graduating with honors and moving on to graduate from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry with a degree in biotechnology.
While at MCC he was one of the founding members of the MCC Biology Club and met many great friends there that shared in his passion for the environment, hiking, wildlife, climate change, and responsible agricultural practices. You couldn’t be around Jeff long without him teaching you something about plants or of a new healthy plant-based food he liked. He also had a passion for food and worked for several years in the kitchen at Jeremiah’s Tavern in Penfield.
His many hobbies included practicing yoga, preparing healthy meat-free dishes, and sampling new types of food and beverages. He had a passion for learning too and was recently learning to play guitar with his Dad. He aspired to travel and to see the world and saw the Grand Canyon with his Mom and Dad this past August. He loved Gaeta, Italy and most recently travelled there with his Aunt Anna L’Erario and her grandchildren Joey, Bianca, and Alexa Mancuso in 2019. He will be greatly missed at the Capomaccio family events hosted by Carm and Dave Gizzi. He will also be greatly missed by the Doud family and his cherished nephews Grant and Levi Buffington.
In Jeff’s own words he said :"I want to help people with my knowledge and uplift people". That is how he lived his life in his short 28 years.
Friends may call Saturday, January 22, 2022, from 2-5PM at the DiPonzio Funeral Home, Inc., 219 Spencerport Road, Gates. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers and in the spirit of being “Green”, please feel free to donate in his memory to Adirondack Council for Preserving Water, Air, and Wildlands or to Recovery All Ways (RAW), a local organization that was a resource to us over the last year and is helping those still struggling with addiction in our community.
