Michael Gentile

Michael Gentile, 58 of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, passed away on Saturday, December 2, 2023.

Born on March 28, 1965 in Manhattan, NY was a Son of the late Margaret Gentile (McCaffrey) and Vincent Gentile.

Michael grew up in the Bronx, NY, and moved to Congers, NY as a teenager.  He graduated from Clarkstown North High School where he played football and would go on to become a successful contractor. He proudly founded his own construction companies: Michael’s Masonry and Blueprint Consulting. When his family moved to South Carolina in 2013, he opened a new business, Precision Renovators, where he continued his passion for construction and worked tirelessly to provide for his family. In his free time, Michael enjoyed watching Miami Dolphins football or New York Mets baseball. He shared his love for sports with his 3 children, Kelsey, James, and Justin, and would frequently devote his time to helping coach his sons’ baseball team. He will be remembered as a loving father, husband, and brother.

Michael is preceded in death by Vincent Gentile (Father), Margaret Gentile (Mother), and Gene Leman (Brother in Law).
