Obituary of Derek Andrew Carosella

Our Loving Son, Brother, Uncle and Great Uncle Derek Andrew Carosella passed away on July 21, 2018.  He was born on November 5, 1964 in Brooklyn, New York to Anthony and Grace Carosella.

Derek enjoyed his family and the fun times he had fishing with his Dad; enjoyed the smell of his Mom’s Italian food cooking and eating pizza, watching Monday Night WWE with her; walks with his sister Claudine; watching “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” and singing with his sister Graceann.  He was always seen wearing his headphones, gold chain and black gloves.  Derek had a beautiful heart and was a friend to everyone.

Derek never knew a stranger and his love of all animals ran deep.  He will be missed by all that knew him.  “1, 2, 3…1, 2, 3...Cocky Dude.”  Derek we miss you!
