Michael Anthony "Delly" DelCampo, Jr., age 57, of Long Neck, DE formerly of Wilmington, DE, passed away suddenly on July 10, 2023.
Mike was born on January 28, 1966, to Joann (D'Libruo) & Michael DelCampo, Sr. He attended St. John the Beloved grade school and graduated from DelCastle Technical High School in 1984. Mike went on to become a Master Plumber and former co-owner of DelCampo Brothers Plumbing & Heating and current owner of Long Neck Plumbing & Heating, Millsboro, DE.
A friend to everyone, Mike's attitude of 'work hard, play harder' drew others to him. His fun-loving spirit and outgoing personality helped him make friends everywhere he went. In his youth, Mike was an avid snow skier and loved a good winter snowstorm. He grew up hunting and fishing and spending summers at his beach house in Long Neck with his family, which led to his passion for boating and water sports.
Mike took immense joy in his toys—motorcycles, 4-wheel drive lifted trucks, speed boats and jet skis—he knew how to have a fun time. He enjoyed traveling, especially to California and New York with his daughters. Mike loved music and he loved it loud! He shared his love of music with his daughters by taking them to concerts and music festivals. His all-time favorite band was Motley Crue and one of his fondest memories was giving Vince Neil a ride on his boat.
Later in life, Mike moved permanently to his long-time beach house in Long Neck, DE where he started Long Neck Plumbing & Heating. While Mike was proud of his business accomplishments, he would always say that his greatest accomplishment were his three daughters.
Preceded in death by his father, Michael Anthony DelCampo, Sr., maternal grandparents Joseph & Elizabeth (Nowak) D'Libruo, survivors include his children, Julianne DelCampo (Brent), Jacqueline DelCampo (Patrick), and Lexi Ann DelCampo (Alicia Williams); his mother, Joann DelCampo; his brother, William DelCampo (Laurie); grandchildren, Elias Kern, Amatullah Ramone, Zaynab Ramone; and his former wife Joanne Malgiero.
