Dan Lembo, who appeared as a contestant on “Survivor: Nicaragua,” has died at age 75.
The Brooklyn native was found dead at his Manhattan home on Sept. 3, in response to his obituary. A reason for death was not provided.
Lembo was 63 when he appeared on the hit TV show in 2010. The fan-favorite was a part of the Espada tribe and got here in fifth place after being voted out on Day 37.
Family and friends described Lembo as a “charismatic, larger-than-life, outgoing bon vivant,” saying he “loved nothing greater than spending time together with his children and friends – recent and old.”
“On weekends he enjoyed softball in Bridgehampton with friends,” Lembo’s obituary read. “Daniel shall be remembered as a friend to all and a father to 2.”
Prior to his TV appearance, the Brooklyn College alum spent most of his profession working in real estate.
Lembo is survived by his sons, Matthew and Michael, their spouses, and his five grandchildren.
In his obituary, Lembo’s son Matthew wrote, “Thanks for being my Dad. You were a pleased person. You were my best friend. I’ll miss you.”
Meanwhile, Michael wrote, “Dad, regardless of the situation, you were at all times there for me. You were my first phone call. You were my travel buddy. Every weekend, we’d take our trips.
“From skiing in Vermont, homes within the Hamptons, a sunny weekend in Miami, or a Yankees’ playoff game, we were at all times together. I’ll miss you. I really like you.”
