Obituary of Bruce Craig John Donatuti

Bruce Craig John Donatuti passed away peacefully and surrounded by his family on July 8, 2025 after suffering a stroke. Bruce struggled for many years with liver disease and at the time of his death was awaiting a liver transplant. Despite his many illnesses and complicated medical picture, he should be remembered for his incredible zest for life, his depth of caring for his family, his warmth, his smile and his Christmas Eve dinners. He loved broadly and easily and leaves behind a heartbroken network of friends and family. Those who knew him knew what it meant to be deeply seen and loved. We were lucky to share our lives with him.

He is survived by his wife Nancy (Polstein) and his sons Michael (Grace) and Billy (Olive). He was predeceased by his parents Ben (Biaggio) and Frances (Prinzi) Donatuti as well as his brothers Dennis (Daralyn) and Robert (Pauline). He is also survived by his nieces Dawn, Missy, Jennifer and Stephanie and a network of loved ones too numerous to name.

In lieu of flowers, please slip a $10 bill into the hands of an unsuspecting child (that you know) and watch their faces light up. You will find Bruce in their delight.
