Ian Scarfone Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Apr. 12 to Apr. 14, 2009.

Ian Michael Scarfone (Paco as he was known) passed away unexpectedly Friday April 3, 2009 at home in Las Vegas. Born in Niagara Falls on June 13, 1976, he was the beloved son of Cynthia Franchi of Las Vegas; Richard and Bonnie (Garis) Scarfone; grandson of Helen Borgese (Niagara Falls), the late Frank Scarfone; step-grandmother, Dolores Scarfone (Town of Niagara); step-grandmother, Sue Garis (Mrs. G) (Niagara Falls), and Joseph and Mary Cristelli (Las Vegas); brother of Stacey (Lockport), Linzi, Nicholas, Frank Scarfone, all of Niagara Falls, Uncle of Sebastian Klay (Lockport); and several aunts, uncles, and cousins. He loved music, taking pictures, and spending time on his computer. He spent his summers in Niagara Falls with his father and siblings and enjoyed car shows/cruise nights, riding on his dad's Harley, and spending time with his loyal Pit Bull Layla. His indomitable spirit was contagious and he was loved by everyone that knew him. Despite a courageous life long battle with Cerebral Palsy, he remained upbeat and determined. He will be sadly missed by all. Services are private. Visit www.legacy.com/niagara-gazette for on-line guest register.

Aunt Cindy, I know we have talked but I still want to leave something special in Ian's guest book. Ian was very strong and determined with everything he did. We spent MANY summers together with grandma and grandpa at Sauble Beach. Some funny things about Ian that will always bring a smile to my face are....He loved his music, always laughed with me over grandma's silly jokes, hated pop, hated jello, loved milk (and usually saved it until the end of his meal). I will miss him so much!! His smile will never be forgotten. He touched so many lives. I love you. Stay strong and know that we are here for you, Your niece

I want to thank you all for sharing your thoughts about my son Ian Scarfone. He was the light of my life and the best of my heart. My life will never be the same without him. Ian was with me for 32 wonderful yeras and we had a bond that was the soul of the earth and he was my best friend. Ian made everyday worth living with his wonderful smile and his brave heart. He was such a giving young man and was the most caring person you could ever know. I will never forget how he loved life and just being around people. Ian had struggled with Spasticity for many years and he worked hard to over come his many challenges with great pride and determination. Ian worked ten years at Smiths Food and Drug Coporate location in Las Vegas I know he is with god and his work here was done and now he has gone home.
My love for my son is every beat of my heart. Everyone who knew Ian knowss how he touched their lives. Cynthia Cristelli Franchi "Mother" Las Vegas Nevada where Ian and I resided the past ten years sadly missed

Cindy, Joe, Mary, and family: So sorry to hear about Ian. I'll always remember what a sweetheart he was when I would babysit him. He loved music and would get out his record player and want me to play his 45's. He was a very special boy and I'll always remember his wonderful smile and spirit.

I couldn't believe my eyes in reading of Ian's passing. He was such a vibrant individual. I love his little grin when he thought he had pulled something over on me during his many therapy sessions when he was growing up. I remember as a young man when he came to visit me when he was home for the summer. I will be praying for you all and Ian's soul. He will live on in us all for he left his mark wherever he went with memories that last forever.
