Bronx-born Steven Bonano, 53, who was awarded 69 medals over a 30-year NYPD career, died at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center after a years-long battle with the disease.
He was to have gotten married Jan. 25, said his family, who asked that his fiancée’s name be unpublished.
“I’m very proud of what my son has accomplished in his life — always driving to do better,” said his father, Tony, 81. He’s also survived by his mother, Vivian, 77.
Bonano spent much of his career in the elite Emergency Service Unit, which he commanded on 9/11.
“He loved the police department, it was his life,” a colleague said. “He was a cop’s cop. He was my mentor. He was always looking for us to do better. He always did better for himself. He accomplished so much.”
