Mike was an identical twin to Christopher Chiellini and the third son to the late Raymond and Marie Chiellini of MT Airy NC. Born in Bronx NY, Mike moved to the Tampa Bay area with his family when he was a teenager and graduated from Tampa Bay Tech High School. Mike traveled the country for several years before returning to the Tampa Bay area to settle down. Mike supported his family working in the car sales industry before becoming a publisher in 1999. Working alongside his wife Sharon as owners/operators of Chiellini Enterprises Inc., Mike was well known around the Brandon FL area after having spent over 20 years visiting local businesses selling advertising space in their two publications: "The Child Care Link" and Sunshine Savings". Mike was well loved and will be greatly missed by his beloved family, friends and community.

A Celebration of Life Service will take place in the Spring. Details will be shared at a later date. A Special Needs Trust will be established to ensure that Nico will always be well cared for in the absence of his father. We ask that donations be made to the Trust in lieu of flowers.
