David M. Milano

Dave was one of the kindest guys, we’ve ever met. He was also a lot of fun.Who would have thought that we would meet such wonderful people, as he and Alisa,through our sons becoming friends. I hope Matthew and Mark can find some solace in knowing they had one of the best dads out there. We are so very sorry.

Much love and then some to the milano family♥️

My cousin David was the youngest of the eight of us . Funny, smart and sweet (one of the good ones) our grandfather called him Davis , which he liked!My heart goes out to the Milano family, to Alisa , Matthew and Mark …. The cousins will not be the same without him! Rest in peace, Davis Love you

Sending my heartfelt condolences to the Milano and Gram family. I have nothing but fond memories of Dave, and he will be deeply missed.

It’s hard to even put into words the heart break we are feeling. Keith and I LOVE our visits to long Island and spending time with uncle Joe and the cousins. David was easily one of the best people in our lives. David was so easy to talk to. He was always interested in what you were talking about. He loved his family so much and enjoyed spending time with people. We would text back and forth about sports, and life. He was always one of the first for holiday wishes. David and Alisa were so supportive during my cancer treatment sending gifts, texts and prayers. They celebrated the end of treatment with a 🔔 bell for me to ring and champagne 🍾. Our hearts are broken 💔 😢 . We pray that you are at peace . We love you Alisa, Matthew and Mark and pray for healing down the road. Rest David #26🐯

I only had the pleasure of meeting Dave a few times, but even then, it was clear how deeply he touched Alisa’s life. She always called him her best friend and spoke of his gentle way of comforting and calming her, the secret, she said, to their long and loving marriage. May his spirit wrap her in comfort and peace in this moment, as he always did in life.

Memories help us get through the sad times. In my memories I see Dave on my driveway playing hockey with my sons. My deepest sympathy to Alisa and the boys and the Milano and Gram families. Rest easy Dave.

My deepest condolences to David’s family and the entire Milano family. I remember David well, he was the sweetest young man. He will be so missed. May God wrap his loving arms around all who loved him.

Alisa is my husband’s niece. Dave became a beloved nephew. Dave had the special gift of showing people he cared about them, and any time spent with him was a pleasure. His loss is heartbreaking, but precious memories will always keep him close to our hearts. Prayers for his devoted family during this difficult time. 🙏💙💔

During our senior year of high school, Alisa started working at Jeffrey’s. Not long after, she began telling me about this guy named Dave who worked there too — how he would find little reasons to talk to her. I still remember when she said, “I think he likes me.” At first they were just friends. Then came their first date. And before long, they were officially a couple and we were all going to the prom together. What seemed like a sweet high school romance quietly became something extraordinary. Without even realizing it, I was witnessing the beginning of an incredible love story.

My sweet, dear friend, Alisa — I wish there were words strong enough to ease even a fraction of your pain. My heart is broken for you. I hope you feel surrounded by the love of everyone who has witnessed the beautiful life you and Dave created. His love is woven into Matthew and Mark, which will always remain. I will continue to hold you all close in my heart.

Rest in peace, Dave. Thank you for loving Alisa and being her best friend. You will be deeply missed and forever remembered. And I know it’s not a coincidence that Team USA won their gold in “Milan”.

My deepest condolences to the Milano Family at this time of your loss.

I remember as teenagers sitting on the curb in the summer under the streetlights on Longhorn Lane East Setauket with my cousins and brothers and Dave and Mike.
There were always hockey games in the street all day long no matter what.

The good old days

Even though I haven’t seen Dave and Mike in years I never forgot those great memories

Rest in eternal peace Dave

My condolences to your family

May Dave rest in peace in the arms of our loving Father.

John and I are so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. What a wonderful man. We always enjoyed hanging out with Alisa and Dave whether it was at school events or parties. Dave will be missed by many. We were away when we heard , I lit a candle for Dave and his family in Vienna.

It’s so difficult to find the right words to ease the pain and sadness that Alisa, Matthew and Mark are going through right now. Everyone that was lucky enough to know Dave all mention what a kind person he was. That is one of the first thoughts that come to mind in describing him and how much he loved Alisa and the boys. Dave was a stranger to no one and made you feel so welcomed. A bright light has gone out with his passing. Sending Alisa, Matthew and Mark all of our love during such a heartbreaking time.

I was saddened to hear of Dave Milano’s passing. Dave was one of the great ones, always so welcoming and smiling. While I did not keep in touch with Dave, I was recently told of his passing. We went to high school together. Believe it or not, Dave was one of the bigger guys. Always in shape and always with a smile on his face.

I’m certain I can speak for the entire Ward Melville class of 1985. Dave was one of the great ones. I’m very sorry for your loss. Heaven just added another solid one and a huge Rangers and Yankees fan. Rest in peace, Milano.
