Support Veterans in Memory of Stephen Gagliardo

Stephen Craig Gagliardo passed away suddenly on July 7, 2024. To celebrate his life, please consider donating to a veteran's charity in lieu of flowers. His service in the Air Force led to his lifelong respect for those who served our country. Steve will be greatly missed by his friends and family.

He was born in Olean, New York, in 1957 to Vivian and Joseph Gagliardo. After his father’s passing, his mother remarried, and he had three sisters.

During his service, he developed an interest in computers that would become a lifelong passion. He later earned his degree from St Petersburg College. He worked for the St Petersburg Times as a network engineer for most of his career. He loved all things science fiction, cashews, and taking naps.

A friend set him up on a blind date, and he married in 1984 to Kim Davidson. Together, they raised their daughters, Stephanie and Samantha. He is survived by his wife, daughters, three grandchildren, and his mother. His friends and family will greatly miss him.

His memorial service will be held at Amvets, 4629 Bartelt Rd, Holiday, FL on July 28 at 2pm and his internment service and military salute on July 29 at 11 am at Bay Pines National Cemetery, 10000 Bay Pines Blvd, St. Petersburg, FL.
