Remington C. Hazard Rimato
It is with great sadness that we must acknowledge the passing of Remington Clifford Hazard Rimato, 35, of Vero Beach, Florida. Born on Oct. 6, 1988, in Voorhees, New Jersey, he went home to the Lord on May 19, 2024.
Those who were privileged to know Remy will always remember him for his generous heart and infectious smile. He had a gift for enriching the lives of others with his humor and laughter. Remy faced life’s challenges with courage and strength.
Remy loved the outdoors whether he was in the Adirondack Mountains of New York or at the ocean in Vero Beach, Florida. He was an avid surfer and an accomplished fisherman. His love of music came naturally from his father, singer and songwriter Robert Hazard.
Remington is survived by his mother, Susan Hazard Rimato (Selander) of Vero Beach, Florida, and Old Forge, New York; brother Rex Rimato of Austin, Texas; sister Corrina Rimato of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; daughters Zoey Lillian Rimato and Sydney Marie Bissonnette of Sebastian, Florida, whom he loved with his whole heart; his paternal aunt and uncle, Pamela Rimato Tirone and Robert Tirone; maternal aunt Jeanne Marie Selander; many cousins; and a myriad of friends who loved him dearly.
Remy is preceeded in death by his father, Robert Dennis Hazard Rimato; paternal grandparents Umberto Rimato and Lillian (Cook) Rimato; paternal aunt Gloria Rimato; maternal grandparents Richard Alvin Selander and Audrey Ann (Duffy) Selander; and maternal uncle John Richard Selander.
Though he has left this world, his memory will live on in our hearts as a testament to the impact he made on those who had the pleasure and honor to know him and count him as a beloved friend. He will be dearly missed.
The family has chosen to have a private memorial service at the Big Moose Chapel in Eagle Bay, New York, at a time to be determined.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Remy’s name to the Big Moose Community Chapel, 1544 Big Moose Road, Eagle Bay, NY 13331.
Rest in peace, Remy. May God hold you in the palm of his hand until we meet again in paradise.
