Stephen A. Caposio “Capo” passed away suddenly in his beautiful home in the hills on Thursday February 1, 2018. He was the most loving, caring, unselfish husband, father, brother and friend you could have. He gave one hundred percent to everything he did. He is survived by: wife Shana Caposio, son Robert Caposio, and his wife Sara Caposio, son Timothy Caposio, daughter Sara Caposio, mother Concetta Cirone, sister Julie Pelz, and husband Rick Pelz, sister Laura Manginelli, brother Phillip Ullio, brother Joseph Caposio, brother Robert Caposio Jr. and wife Gladys Caposio, Aunt Irene Baker, closet cousins Virginia Santa Inez, Irene Baker, and cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.
What can you say about a self-made man with a bigger heart and an even bigger personality? Capo was a generous man that helped many and touched countless lives in a positive way. He lived to entertain and everywhere he went became a party.
Stephen was an industrious man. He utilized his spare time by mastering a variety of skillsets. The list includes: hunting, cooking, acting, singing, fashion, and vehicle restoration. His accolades reflect his uncanny ability to be the very best at everything he did. Steve took friends and family on world class hunting trips all over the country, never failing to bring home a trophy. He taught old world Italian cooking classes and was the winner of an episode of The Food Network’s “Cutthroat Kitchen.” Capo even co-starred in the feature film “The Biggest Game in Town.” Steve was always impeccably dressed. He even had his wardrobe insured. Steve loved to sing, and he did it with passion. He collected and restored classic Cadillacs to the point of winning numerous awards, his favorite being the prestigious Grand LaSalle competition. All of these are bigger than hobbies, they are areas of expertise, each one being career worthy in and of themselves. Steve was boisterous and lifted everybody’s spirit no matter the situation. His loss leaves a void in his family and friend’s lives that will never be filled.
There will be a memorial in true Capo style. A party that he would truly be proud of. Ladies wear your best open-toed shoes!
