Dominic Celli

Dominic Celli, 63, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, passed away on December 15, 2025. Born on May 6, 1962, Dominic was the beloved son of the late Patricia McCracken and Dominic Celli. He is predeceased by his stepmother Reenie Celli & stepfather Michael McCracken. 

A lifelong Philadelphian, Dominic was a graduate of St. John Neumann High School. He was the cherished brother of Danielle McFadden, Patsi Fego, Kimberly Celli, Dominique Ryan, Nikki Spayd Hudson, Dawn Morris, Reenie Celli and the late Jimmy Celli & Cathy McFadden. 

Dominic was a deeply loved man whose presence filled every room he entered. Above all else, he was a devoted and loving father to his eight children: Shannon, Anthony, Aaron, Christopher, Dominic, Donna, Vicky, and Katie. He was also a proud and adoring grandfather to 21 grandchildren, each of whom brought him immense joy throughout the years. He was affectionately known as “Uncle Donnie” to all of his nieces and nephews. 

Dominic truly lived life to the fullest. He loved traveling and spent many memorable years managing Fascination on the Wildwood Boardwalk—a place where countless visitors fondly remember his unmistakable voice booming over the microphone and becoming part of their summer nights. At home, you could often find him relaxing in his recliner, iPhone in hand, staying connected with the people he loved. A true Philadelphia sports fan, Dominic loved talking about his hometown teams and would always happily jump into a conversation about the Philadelphia Flyers. His passion for sports was just one of the many ways he connected with those around him.

Known as the life of the party, Dominic had a larger-than-life personality and a gift for bringing people together. Spending time with friends and family meant everything to him, and his laughter, stories, and presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend his Visitation on January 9, 2026, at 9:30 AM at O’Leary Funeral Home, 640 E. Springfield Rd., Springfield, PA 19064 and his Funeral Service 11:30am in the Funeral Home. Interment will follow at SS. Peter & Paul Cemetery in Springfield, PA.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests that donations be made in Dominic’s memory to the American Heart Association.
