In Celebrating the Life of Our Father
A Shining Example of Character, Patriotism, and Visionary Leadership
With heavy hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved father, Retired Sergeant Major Victor M. Claudio, on Monday, July 28th, at the age of 92. He departed this world in his sleep, with grace and serenity, leaving behind a profound legacy of love, honor, and strength.
SGM Victor M. Claudio was the embodiment of dignity and integrity—an honorable man, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and son. A natural-born leader with distinguished intelligence, he was admired not only for his sharp mind and thoughtful wisdom, but also for the quiet humility and steadfast purpose with which he lived.
His distinguished military career as a Sergeant Major in the United States Army was a testament to his deep sense of duty, discipline, and patriotism. He served 27 years with courage and excellence, earning the respect of all who knew him—both in uniform and beyond. Handsome, composed, and steady, he carried himself with timeless grace and unshakable character.
Above all, he was the heart of our family. A loving husband, a devoted father, a proud grandfather, and a cherished son—his presence was our foundation. His love was constant, his guidance unwavering, and his legacy unforgettable.
Though we grieve his passing, we give thanks for the privilege of knowing him, learning from him, and calling him ours. His spirit will live on in our hearts, our memories, and the values he instilled in us.
The visitation will be held on Saturday, August 9, 2025 from 9:30 to 10:30am in Restland Funeral Home Wildwood Chapel, followed by the funeral service at 10:30am. Interment Restland Cemetery with full military honors.
