DeCicco Foundation Endorsements

Not all hero’s wear capes, some wear hats!!

April 20, 2022

I have known the family since Enzo was two years old on our soccer team. I have watched Enzo grow into an incredibly talented young man. This was made possible for him due to his loving parents. A solid foundation from both his mother and father that has allowed him to reach his full potential. This family has been through more than any family should ever have to deal with. However with each obstacle that they had to deal with they’ve all done it with such dignity and grace. As a child losing his father Enzo has handled it better than most adults do. Many of us would spiral out of control but Enzo Continues to make everyone around him so proud of him and his strength and courage. I told DeAnne that Not all hero’s wear capes, some wear hats!! That is the Legacy Bill and DeAnne has created, a hero in a hat!!!

Gulf Coast Humane Society is so very appreciative of Enzo and Deanne for all the work they do for the shelter animals! Every year after his Birthday, it is a certain Enzo will be coming into GCHS with donations he raised, it truly is an amazing gesture of kindness both he and Deanne show! Bill does live on in Enzo, and Enzo’s love for the shelter animals will live on for a long time to come!! We thank the DeCicco Family for all they do!!

The DeCicco family story defines love, commitment and optimism. We have never witnessed anyone overcome overwhelming obstacles with such grace like Bill, DeAnne and Enzo. It is our wish that this family receives the peace they deserve, while teaching us all the importance of focusing on the blessings, big or small, we all have.

Extraordinary wonderful family doing extraordinary things

April 8, 2022

I have known this family for 20 years and have witnessed the challenges they have faced and the way they have come through them. They are an inspiration. Bill was such a giving strong family man who had a grasp on what life should be. He was a wonderful husband and a father who gave of himself constantly and it shows in the their wonderful son Enzo. Enzo is a light that shines so brightly and wiser than his age by far. Deanne is a loving mother to him and is raising him to be a leader among us all. Both Bill and Deanne have taught Enzo the importance of caring for others and giving back to the community. I am blessed beyond words to know this family.
