Angelo was one of the brightest lights ever to gra

Angelo was one of the brightest lights ever to grace ours or any community. Always with the most positive attitude, warmest spirit and loving heart, he encouraged so many of us to think outside the box, live each day with so much vigor and passion, go after our dreams and never ever lost that beautiful inviting smile.

Angelo also was a founding member of the Black Bear Brotherhood, and a pivotal figure within BBB leadership. He was our brother, our friend and the void of his loss will never be filled.

Angelo’s family and loved ones will continue to honor his memory with a series of home-going services, starting with visitations on February 27th from 3 PM to 8 PM, and Funeral Services beginning on Wednesday, February 28th starting at 12 PM for the family, and 12:30 PM for the public. Funeral visitations and services will take place at O.H. Pye III Funeral Home, located 17600 Plymouth Road Detroit, MI 48227.

There will also be an additional Celebration Of Life event for Angelo, starting at 5PM, Wednesday, February 28th at 20327 West Seven Mile Rd, Detroit MI 48219. Angelo spirit will forever live on, within the brothers of Black Bear Brotherhood and beyond 🐻❤️🪽
