Anthony "AJ" DiMaria's Obituary
DiMARIA, Anthony James, 03/01/01 - 08/25/12
Sweet little AJ, Heaven has a new angel. God saw you getting tired, and a cure could not be. So he wrapped His arms around you, and whispered, "come to me". With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away. And although we love you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, when He gave you rest. God's garden must be beautiful. He only takes the best. We knew you were an angel on the day you were born. We were blessed to have you as our precious boy, if only for a short time. And though our hearts are heavy, we are comforted by the fact that you have dusted off your angel wings and are finally free to fly again! We will keep your love and spirit alive forever in our hearts. AJ is survived by his parents, Mark & Tracey DiMaria; brothers, Chase & Roary Beam; grandparents, Peggy & Andy Houdyshell, Kelly & Jimmy Gagliano and Anthony DiMaria; great-grandparents, Bernice Cox and Tina Howland, aunts, Ashley DiMaria(Vinnie) Amy Warren(Aj), Shayna Prescott, Dakota Gagliano, and Jessica Sobarzo(Gabe); uncle Maverick Gagliano; cousins and many more family members and loving friends whose lives he touched. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated 10:30 am, Thursday, August 30th at St. Lawrence Catholic Church. Burial will follow at Garden of Memories. AJ's family will receive friends and family from 6pm to 9pm on Wednesday, August 30th at Boza & Roel Funeral Home, 4730 N. Armenia Ave., Tampa, FL.
