Giovanni Marcusa passed away peacefully at his home in Miami Beach on August 2nd, 2021. Predeceased by his mother Anna Millo and his father Nilo Marcusa, Giovanni is survived by his three loving children Anthony Marcusa (Lauren Alexandra Bovaird), Julia Marcusa (Raymond Van Erp), Cristina (Matthew) MacNeil, beloved dog Monica, as well as countless friends made throughout his residency in Miami, Buffalo, Italy, and many travels throughout the world. Giovanni was born in Trieste, Italy on December 20, 1957. He spent the first 24 years of his life in Italy; making lifelong friends, studying and working as a skilled marine engineer, and developing a passion for the sea and the ships that sailed it. When not on a boat, Giovanni could be found enjoying his other loves - dogs, motorcycles, and cars. After moving to the United States, Giovanni started a beautiful family in Columbia, MD before relocating to Buffalo, NY. A very loving father, some of his favorite activities were coaching and cheering on his three children at their youth sports programs, spending time with them in the kitchen - oftentimes making his famous Nutella crepes - and enjoying many family vacations. Giovanni moved to the Miami, FL area in 2001. Throughout this time, he worked as a skilled engineer in multiple arenas, most recently as the Senior Plant Manager at Florida Crystals. He enjoyed living nearby the vast beaches and beautiful Atlantic Ocean. Giovanni continued to travel the world, enjoy the sea, and make great friends in the restaurants and shops of Miami Beach. Giovanni enjoyed each and every day. Those lucky enough to know him will always remember his positive energy, contagious spirit, generosity, and zeal for life. The family will be holding a private ceremony for Giovanni and would love for you to share a story and light a candle in his honor.
