Don Galzarano, 71, a longtime resident of Brighton Township, passed away on January 5th, 2026. He was a devoted husband, father, and a deeply loving grandfather whose family was always at the center of his life. He was born on May 5th, 1954, a beloved son of Dominick and Margaret Galzarano, who instilled in him the values of family, hard work, and generosity that he carried throughout his life. He was also a cherished brother to Charles Galzarano (married to Deitra Galzarano) and Denise Cogan (married to Doug Cogan). He is also survived by his beloved wife, Linda Galzarano, his children, Don Galzarano, Richard Galzarano and LeAnn Galzarano, his daughters-in-law, Stephanie Yee and Hollie Galzarano, his cherished grandchildren: Vivienne Galzarano, Alexander Galzarano, Matteo Galzarano, Alina Galzarano, Stella Galzarano, Dominic Moore, and Geno Moore, his brothers- and sisters-in-law, Jeanne and Mark Didiano and Anna Marie and Joe Kodba, who were very important to him and held a special place in his life.
Don was affectionately known as both “Pop Pop” and “Pap Pap.” to his grandchildren. He was a loving and proud grandfather who found great joy in time spent with them. He will be best remembered for his unselfish acts of service to his family, always putting the needs of others before his own, his love of cars, and for the many happy hours he spent golfing with friends and family, a pastime that brought him connection and joy.
