You would be better off looking in the Archdiocese of Agrigento records: https://www.registriparrocchiali.archiviostoricodiocesiag.it/registri-sciacca/
He married 28 Apr 1839 in San Michele parish. It appears he was originally from Olivella parish in Sciacca.
Antenati doesn't have marriage records for that year. The church record can be found at:
Sciacca / S. Michele Matrimoni 1607-1903 / da 1 a 138 (1828-1840lug), folio 126 (file 127.jpg)
Unfortunately it's not possible to provide a direct link or post an image due to the Archdiocese's regulations for usage of the site.
Regarding the deaths, Italian death records generally do not give information about cause of death or circumstances. The deaths of Ignazio and his family are no different.

@cousinvinny thank you so much for finding this record. I am grateful for any guidance. I am new to the ancestry search. My father died when I was 13 years old, his father died when he was 13 years old and his mother died when he was 16 years. There are few relatives alive and none know our family history.
I am concentrating on Ignazio’s family and trying to work forward from there. I know 5 children died March 2, 1859. My great grandfather Giuseppe survived as did his brother Biagio. I am not sure if there were any other siblings. I met a person from Sciacca, Antonino Giaimo. I am trying to see if our families connect as this would be my present day connection to Sciacca. How do I work thru this puzzle? Any suggestions?
Antonino Giaimo born November 26, 1983
Biagio Giaimo (father of Antonino)born December 6, 1952 married Accursia Tortorici
Antonino Giaimo (grandfather Antonino) married Maria Corrao
Luigi Giaimo (great grandfather Antonino) married Maria Vitabile
any guidance is welcome.
thank you
Rena

If you want to go down the civil record route, I would start in 1859 and work backwards meticulously year by year looking at the birth indexes and identifying children born to Ignazio and his wife Giovanna. Sometimes the civil birth records will have annotations of future marriages so you might get lucky and find something. Otherwise, you'll just have to slog through multiple years of marriage records looking for possible matches. FamilySearch has the civil records for 1860 and later but there aren't any 10-year indexes or anything like that so there's really no shortcuts you can take. And you have a hard stop on civil records for Sciacca at 1929, there's nothing later than that available online at the present so you may still have a gap in time that you can't fill when trying to connect to the person you found.
Again, Sciacca church records are also available and often the indexes run for 10-20 years at a time but they aren't always the easiest to read, plus you're dealing with records from multiple churches in town - Ignazio was almost certainly baptized in the Olivella parish as I saw the baptism of a sibling of his listed in the index, but he married in San Michele church and his death record was from there also so that's where the surviving members stayed. Those available church records run through the early 1900s.

Thank you so much for the guidance. I will continue to try and access the Sciacca church records. I have tried multiple times to set up a login but it will not go thru. It just circles and reports loading.
On a side note… are you in ancestry.com? I think at one point I came across “my cousin Vinny” on some records I was looking at regarding my family. Just wondering
I am grateful for your time
Best Always
Rena
