On a quiet December morning, the city of Boca Raton and those who knew him best were left to grapple with the loss of Anthony Ungerman, a beloved father, husband, mentor and technologist who died peacefully on December 16, 2025, at the age of 60. Born in Dallas, Texas, Ungerman’s passing marked the end of a life that touched countless people with kindness, curiosity and a deep commitment to those he loved.
From the beginning, Anthony’s story was one woven with the threads of family. Growing up in a bustling household with his parents, Nancy and Jay, two older sisters, Carrie and Leslie, and a younger brother, Garin, he learned early the joy of connection and laughter. Those early bonds shaped who he became: someone who took genuine pleasure in the success and happiness of others.
In his mid-20s, life led him from Dallas to Miami, where fate placed his future soulmate next door. Marisa, his neighbor, became his partner in all things — love, laughter, and raising a family. Their marriage blossomed over 35 years, producing three daughters, Katya, Bianca, and Sabrina, and later grandchildren who brought unmatched joy to Anthony’s life. They remembered him as the heart of every holiday gathering, the one who made even ordinary evenings feel like treasured moments.
Anthony’s passion for technology began with a Bar Mitzvah gift — his first computer in 1978. That moment sparked a life-long fascination that carried him into a distinguished career in software engineering, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. His work was marked by innovation, earning him numerous patents and the respect of peers across industries. But it was not accolades he treasured most — it was the opportunity to lift others up. He championed women in computer science and was a fierce supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, dedicating time and energy to nurturing underrepresented voices in tech.
Colleagues remember Anthony not just for his brilliance but for his generosity. He was the mentor who made time for anyone seeking guidance, the voice of encouragement when challenges loomed large. His humility in the face of achievement was a testament to his character — a rare blend of intellect and heart that made people feel seen, heard and capable.
Away from the office, Anthony’s joy for life was infectious. He had a soft spot for Billy Joel’s music, a competitive streak at the chessboard, and a love of poker nights with friends. Sundays often meant cheering on the Dallas Cowboys, while quiet evenings might find him immersed in a good book or lost in the world of video games. Everywhere he went, his laughter was a signature — a sound that lifted spirits and drew people close.
His family, now carrying forward his legacy, speaks of him as their guiding star — a man of warmth and wisdom whose impact will echo through the lives he shaped. Anthony is survived by his devoted wife Marisa; daughters Katya (and husband), Bianca (and Conor), and Sabrina; grandchildren who adored him; his parents Nancy and Jay; and siblings Carrie, Leslie, and Garin. A funeral service to celebrate his life was held on December 21 at the Glick Family Funeral Home in Boca Raton, with friends, colleagues and community members gathering to honor a life lived with purpose, generosity and love.
His story is one of connection — a reminder that in the midst of life’s complexity, it is the simple acts of kindness and shared moments that leave the most enduring marks. Anthony Ungerman’s legacy will live on in every life he changed, every heart he uplifted, and every family memory still being made around the tables he once filled with laughter.
