Steven Anthony Damiano

MILLBURY – Steven A. “Beef” Damiano, 46, of Louis Ballard Lane, passed away on Monday, September 22, 2025, in his home after a brief illness.

He is survived by his mother, Cathy L. (Hovagimian) DiBenedetto of Oxford; two sisters, Nicole Lavallee and her fiancé Steven Seaver of Millbury, and Alycia Damiano of West Brookfield; three step-siblings, Brian DiBenedetto, Marc DiBenedetto, and Stephanie DiBenedetto; his nieces who he adored, Diandra and Madison Lavallee of Millbury, and a huge extended family including aunts, uncles, and cousins. He also leaves his favorite dog Duke; and many good friends who loved him very much.

He was born in Worcester, son of the late Frank A. Damiano, and lived most of his life in Millbury. He graduated from Leicester High School in 1998.

Steven had the most contagious laugh, was always good for a story, and you never knew what he would say next. He always had “a lot going on.” He was always down for a good trip to the casino with his sister Nicole, and was never so happy as when he recently hit the jackpot – which didn’t happen often. He cherished vacations in Maine with his family, and no matter the occasion, he would be the first to fill his plate. His love for good food was limitless; meatloaf and chicken parm were always on the top of his list.
