Seekonk – Michael J. Pierini, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, March 14, 2017 at the age of 63 at his home in Seekonk, MA. Mike leaves behind his wife, best friend, and soul mate Marilyn (Kind); his daughters Alicia Pierini and Tania Scholtes. He is also survived by his children gained through marriage and earned through love, Michael and Jason (Sarah) Caron, and Amy Caron-Frankel (David); and his eight grandchildren; and his siblings Brenda (Kenneth) Earnheart, Sandra (Robert) Gilbert, and Harold (Kay) and Ronald Pierini. He is predeceased by his mother Doris Mae (Jordan) and Robert Pierini; his brother George; and his in-laws George and Lydia Kind. Mike was born on September 17, 1953. After a brief stint at Tolman High School, he built a fruitful career as a National Sales Manager for VCI Displays, but never lost his sense of adventure. He once jumped out of an airplane on his lunch break. Mike gave lifetimes of joy, comfort, and security to many. He celebrated differences in people and lived without judgment. He was bigger than a husband, father, brother, and grandfather; he was a friend, mentor, confidant, and patriarch. He moved on from this life because he knew how to love it fully. Visitation will begin on Wednesday at 3 p.m. followed by Services at 6 p.m. at William W. Tripp Funeral Home, 1008 Newport Ave., Pawtucket, RI. Memorial donations may be made to support his daughter Alicia's medical fund as she undergoes cancer treatment at www.gofundme.com/alicia-pierinis-medical-fund.

My deepest condolences to the Pierini family during this very trying time. Mike and I are third cousins, and our grandfathers were brothers. Mike is a stand up guy who always held his ground for the causes he believed,and for his family regardless of which branch of the tree they are on. It is my hope that Mike's example and inspiration will stay with us forever. God bless!!!

I could never think of Mike without smiling. He had a way about him that made me feel good. I have known Mike since the early 90's and I have enjoyed working with him, knowing him and calling him my friend. I can't express how deeply saddened I am now that he is gone. He will never be forgotten, there are simply too many stories and too many memories that will keep him with me.
To Marilyn and his family... please accept my deepest and most heartfelt condolences.

I was lucky to have just met Mike, as we just became co-workers. He had an "I've known you my whole life," kind-of personality. Although my time knowing him was brief he made an impact. I send my regards to the grieving family and friends - please know he will not be forgotten.

Condolences from the Vitello family, in Illinois. Mike was more of a friend than a colleague at VCI. And while we'll all miss his stories and his spirit, I'll miss the last-of-the-evening quiet Grand Marniers that we'd share together on the road.
