Daniel Francis Zito, 72, passed away in his home on June 26, 2024. Daniel was born in Brooklyn, NY, and transplanted to Florida. He called Lake Wales, Florida his home for the last 20 years of his life. He loved Lake Pierce and all the nature and wildlife that surrounded him. He had his shortcomings, but he was funny as hell, his laugh was infectious and he could tell a story like no other. In his younger years he lived a life full of adventures and dare devil antics. He loved motorcycles, scuba diving off Key West, boating, hunting and fishing. He was a history buff and an avid reader.
Daniel married Edith Marie Peters on September 27, 1980 and they remained married until 2013. They had four children that survived him, Stefanie Silva-Zito, Lauren Zito, Devin Zito, and Erin Erickson-Zito. Daniel was also survived by five siblings, Dian Hutchinson, Gail Zito, Kieran Zito, Christine Ladd, and Theresa Appelboom. He was preceded in death by his parents, Francis Phillip Zito and Jacqueline Gribbon.
