Patrick Carmelo Parisi

Pat. I will never forget you and our days at Bishop Loughlin. I would always ask you to sing Mississippi Queen and you always cracked me up. Sitting and playing side by side with you was a highlight for me. You did always had that infectious smile and not a bad bone in your body. Everyone loved you and I always will. As I am close to passing I look forward to giving you a big hug. I first saw you passing in 2015 just buy random and I was blown away. 57? Jesus wanted you for a reason and he got the best soul on this earth. I will see you on the other side. Love you always. Rest in Pease.....

Pat.you will be in my heart.always..you wear the first person to talk to me about Jesus..Thank you my Friend..Love you see you soon..

I CLOSE MY EYES AND TRY TO SEE,

I OPEN MY EYES AND STILL CAN'T SEE.

BUT AS THEY BURN AND RUN WITH TEARS,

I SEE THE MEMORIES SPANNING FIFTY YEARS.

THEY NEVER SEE THE THINGS TO BE,

I CAN ONLY WONDER,IF YOU WERE THINKING OF ME.

I am sorrow for your loss. I have known Mr. Parisi for so many years as a patient at our medical office. He always brought so much sunshine with him. We will miss him.

fantastic man, brought joy to so many with his fabulous voice....Dennis Reilly Cary, N.C.

Wow, what a wonderful man. I loved Pat and worked with Pat over the years and listened to all the stories he had to share about his life and family. He was my "NY bud" and I always looked forward to seeing him with that big ole smile of his. He was always making me laugh. I admired Pat for his strength and commitment. He seemed to work through anything and was always optimistic. I was so sad to hear of his passing today. I will miss him and he will always be on my mind. He defines what a great is and Im glad we crossed paths. I love you Pat and I will miss you and your infectious smile.

Pat.you will be in my heart.always..you wear the first person to talk to me about Jesus..Thank you my Friend..Love you see you soon..

Our prayers are with Pat's family. We enjoyed his friendship. He will be greatly missed. Thanks for the memories!

Sad to see Pat leave. The only thing to make it easy is knowing that he is with the Lord. Pat was a great guy and a wonderful brother. I will miss him.

Dearest Pat,
So very sad, you surely will be missed. For all the years that I new you, whenever in your presence, it was always a joyous occasion, you were loved by many because you were a giver of love, and everyone knew that. You will be missed by everyone.
Your friend and sister in Christ, Florence

Linda and I will miss you Pat and our love goes out to your family now. To sing backup to your "Amazing Grace" was and is an experience I hear now and ever.

Patrick, If I had to define what a great friend is, my answer would be Patrick Parisi. You touched so many people and I know you are singing with Deb. I am so glad God let our paths cross. Rest in peace my wonderful friend. Lisa

Patrick, If I had to define what a great friend is, my answer would be Patrick Parisi. You touched so many people and I know you are singing with Deb now. I am so glad God let our paths cross. Rest in peace my wonderful friend. Lisa

I met Patrick through some friends at Sunset Grille Karaoke a few years ago. I remember the first time I heard him sing. Everyone in the place came together to listen to this amazing man sing. Though we were all so different, he would bring us together with just his smile and the sound of his voice. People would dance, sing, raise their glasses, and for a moment, we were all as one.
I wanted to tell him how wonderful he sounded and worked up the courage to say hello and compliment him. His smile and kind face will never be forgotten! He was sweet and talked about his kids and love of music. Although I only saw him at karaoke every few months, I always looked forward to his songs. He will definitely be missed for everything about him, not just his singing. Though I hope he is praising God and singing Frank Sinatra a little bit every day :)

Pat, what can I say..You were truly loved by many! I miss communicating with you already! Your beautiful voice is now being heard by many of our loved ones in Heaven! Rest In Peace my friend, till we meet again..Love and miss you!!

You were a great father and friend. You made us all smile with your witty jokes and you made us all think when it came to politics. I will miss your daily Facebook posts and words of wisdom. You are missed. Rest in peace Pat.

You were a good man. I had met you through my wife, Melissa Araya. There were many great times, when the two of you would sing duet. Being friends with you, was more like becoming part of your family. You were kind hearted, and sang like no one else I knew. Thanks for the times, and making us feel welcome in a new place. You will be missed.

Pat, From ENY to NC I have known you and knowing you brought many smiles and good thoughts to our family, you will be missed by all of us but our thoughts of you will remain with us forever, may the lord embrace you with his unconditional love and his everlasting peace.

Our Dearest Cousin,
The gatherings we have the songs we sing the memories of you will be with us all always.. you touched all of us with so much love, it's hard to know we will never see that smile Or hear your songs.. we know in our hearts you are watching from above smiling down on all of us..So glad we were together for yet just another family fun time as always.. Rest in Peace our Patty .. till we meet again... love your cousins Pat & Laura

So sorry for all that know and love you that you had to leave them so soon. So glad that you always knew you were going to a better place and you are home now. You will be missed.

patty, glad we were able to meet you through your cousin ralph and hear you play at local resturants...may god bless your family at this time, you will be greatly missed! Paul & Mary Labbato

Your music, food, and love for everyone will be missed by all. It was a pleasure knowing you!

We had the pleasure of Pat's music and singing on a few occasions. He really made a special time even better. A beautiful person was lost too early...

Patrick, ci sono buchi in un sacco di cuori, le menti e le anime stasera, ma il coro in cielo, appena infinitamente migliore. Io sono meglio di averti conosciuto! ... siamo tutti!

Pat...I'm so sorry that you had to leave us so early. We will miss your presence more than you can imagine. I'm glad that Chloey and Evan had a chance to know you and I'm sad that Deborah and Gavin won't have that opportunity. You and Deborah...please watch over your girls and grandchildren. They need their Angels to guide them from Heaven. RIP, my friend, and I hope you and Deborah are celebrating your reunion in a big way. Love, Brenda

To my beloved friend forever. I'll never forget you.

Uncle pat, you were always full of life and love. Wonderful husband, father and grandpa. You will be greatly missed by many. May you rest in peace. xo

There are some people who just make you happy to be around and bring you joy. Pat did that. He voice and his smile filled up any room and he will be sorely missed.

Patty, you fought the good fight. We went against the grain like warriors to preach the Gospel. We were steadfast and unmovable. I thank the Lord we had a chance to sing together before you went home with him. Good to see the next generation continuing on in what we believed. Through this last meeting, you reunited me with old friends...one whom I couldn't reach, God brought RIGHT to me after 25 years!! See you later..Love, Brother Charlie.

Pat, You have been a great friend to me, Matt and the kids. We will miss you so much! Thank you for the friendship, the fun karoake memories, the dances, the great stories about Deb.....love you big guy!

I will miss you like crazy.
You were such a bright light in this universe. Now your light will shine through your grandchildren, RIP Patty, Love you always.

Patrick, I will truly miss you. You were such a wonderful friend...even tho it was thru FB. I will miss our conversations, your deep spirituality and then your humor and witty ways.

Patty Boy, Glad we had a chance to re-connect, if only briefly, after all those years and changes in our lives. RIP

Pat, I will always have good memories of our days (and nights) together as fellow Gracians. You were always fun to be around. May you rest in peace. My sincere condolences to your family.

I'll always remember him singing and playing the Guitar at the folk mass.St Rita's , we didn't realize how important that time was in all our lives .

Patty... You'll always be remembered as a good guy with a kind heart who loved his family, friends and his music. You will be missed by many. Rest in Peace...

Rest In Peace

Thanks for good times growing up in East New York, Brooklyn. Memories never die especially when they are with and about great people. Patty is one of these people. Peace.

I will never hear O Sole Mio again without thinking of the joy with which Pat performed it. And he sang Amazing Grace with so much emotion that I requested it every time we jammed together. We'll miss you Buddy.

"Patty, you were always the warmest and the most sincere out of all of us!!! You always made us all feel like family and we were!!! You will be terribly missed my friend!!! Til we meet again!! RIP xoxox"

I met Pat when he transferred to North Carolina with FEDEX. We became immediate friends and remained friends as he moved on to produce manager at a local grocery store and his singing at Macaroni Grill. We continued to talk on Facebook and we shared the love of Duke basketball. My prayers are with all his family and friends. Pat, you touched everyone you met with your smile and your love of God. I will miss you my friend.

As a glass of wine may be set aside for Elijah, may there always be an open microphone set aside for Patrick. Adios Good Sir, you will be missed.

True & loyal friend. Loving Family man. Touched the souls of everyone he met. Always looked for only the good in people. YOU WILL BE MISSED BY SO MANY . RIP MY FRIEND

Remembering the days when we first met when the banana seats where popular,the days I heard you jam with the Giamundos house or play at the OLG dances. Always a Happy,Giving Person & always made people around you laugh.Years went by when we both left Howard Beach where we first met & then finding you again after meeting your Sister Hope at Queens Tabernacle fellowship & finding out your Mom was cooking for My Dad in 2001 before he passed away. We became more than Friends we became Brothers in The Lord.I will Miss You Brother Pat but I know you are in The Presence of Our Lord when you left us on Monday 1/21.

Pat, you will always be remembered as a wonderful person.

I feel truly blessed to have known you. We shared many conversations,laughs,tears through the years. Love you Pat Godspeed my friend RIP xoxo

Pat, you were a 'good-fella'...a friend to many, who will be deeply missed. Your memory will live on in your friends! Rest in Peace...Cookie

I want to share the greatest 3 years of the good times with Patrick. When I met Patrick in 2009, he sang his soul out to his fans at Sunset Grille. He is a true New York native. Patrick is a true fan of New York Yankees and Frank Sinatra. We became good friends. I have so much fun with Patrick going out to sing karaoke with Nona. Also playing in a poker league with World Tavern Poker for 3 years. Now I feel deeply sadden when Patrick is gone to heaven with God. Patrick thank you for 3 years you giving me a lot of love and joy. And bringing a lot of fun to my friends from World Tavern Poker and karaoke with Nona Powers and Steve Penny. May God Bless you in heaven!!

I have such wonderful memories of Patty. From my childhood to my teen years and then some....seen him a few nights before he has passed on. I am so happy I did see him. My memories of the school yard days playing cards, talking about the little rascals, singing on the corner of the school, always laughing and smiling. No matter who he had come in contact with, they would love him. He was a gift from God and he was his messenger. I know he was an Angel on this earth and now he has his wings. I will miss him with his jokes,music and just being him. He went home to be with Lord and we will all see him again one day. God Rest his soul . I love you Patty boy...you will never be forgotten. Love and miss you Fran xoxox

Pat, may you rest in peace and be reunited with your wife, the love of your life while singing Italian opera with all the angels. You will be missed not only for your operatic voice, musical talents, Italian cooking style and jovial nature but also for your special friendship and happiness you shined bright on all those fortunate to have known you. Praying for your beautiful daughters and grandchildren. With love your friends, Mike, Jodi, Michael and Danielle Petilli

You will be greatly missed, Patrick.

Pat I feel blessed that we were able to connect again over the last couple of years. I have such fond memories, little waves of nostalgia when I think of you. You know how much my family loved you. Who would ever have thought that our last get together would be just that? But my faith is deep and I know we will meet again. The next reunion is gonna be a doozy! I just know you are singing Halleluiah now. Watch over your family and friends and we will see you in the next 'go-round'. Be blessed. ~ Patti B.

Pat, I've known you since we were freshmen at Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School. You made so many people happy with your music and I am so glad we were friends. Rest in peace, my friend. Vincent Luongo

I always referred to you as "the other man" in my life. You are like family to us and we will cherish all of our memories together! Holiday dinners will never be the same without you but we will continue to celebrate your life. We love you and will miss you like crazy! Rest with the angels our friend <3 Love ya! Lois, Paul, Taylor, Zach and Calli xoxox

No one will ever understand what this man meant to me as a friend. Our time together as friends and fellow musicians was much too short. We'll all miss him, for a multitude of reasons.
