Matthew D. DeMario

Matt “Nitro Fossil” DeMario, 74, of Morrisville, PA, passed away on Monday, January 20, 2020 at his home. Born in Trenton, NJ, Matt was a lifelong resident of Morrisville and Langhorne, PA. Prior to his retirement, Matt was a truck driver, and belonged to both Teamster Locals 470 and 107 during his 45 years of driving. Matt was a parishioner of Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church, a member of the Morrisville Elks as well as the Morrisville Italian American Club throughout the course of his life. Matt reveled in NHRA drag racing, and took great pride in his classic cars: a '55 Chevy (Nobody beats Milner!) a '63 Impala 409, and a '67 Nova SS, as well as his 1990 Mustang street rod. He was an avid Philly sports fan, loyal especially to the Flyers. Matt enjoyed and was well known for his daily morning Facebook posts featuring his Dunkin' Donuts Coffee.
