Dante J. Orazzi III, 52, of Greenfield Township, PA, Salt Lake City, Utah and Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, died unexpectedly Tuesday, October 31, 2017 at his childhood home. Born in Carbondale, PA, on June 12, 1965, Dante was the son of Dante P. Orazzi Jr. and Dorothy (Hemak) Orazzi of Greenfield Township, PA. He graduated Lakeland High School and Penn State and studied communications at the University of Utah. He owned and managed two social media management, marketing and publishing companies, Creative Beans and Firecat Creative. His clients included the Utah Jazz, Miller Motorsports Park, and Ford Racing School. He is survived by his parents; by his brother, Michael J. Orazzi and his sister-in-law, Anne Karolyi, of Torrington, Conn., many cousins, and an extended network of friends in three states that he considered his adopted family. He was predeceased by his maternal grandparents, John and Stella Hemak of Jermyn, PA, and his paternal grandparents, Dante Sr. and Mary Orazzi of Greenfield Township, PA. Passionate about life, Dante, an avid outdoorsman, lived with exuberance, whether cutting trees on his family's property for Christmastime fires, or relishing his love of healthy dishes he loved to cook and share. He was a natural behind the bar, a top-shelf cocktail mixer, whether at his family's Blue Ridge Inn or in the years he worked at DV8 in Salt Lake City. He loved hiking and nighttime walks in all the places he loved in Utah, in Idaho and in Greenfield Township. He will be remembered as a man with a big heart for those closest to him.
