Jay Fazzone Obituary

Jay Fazzone, 49, of Hermitage passed away with family at his side Thursday afternoon, June 23, 2022, following post-surgical complications due to colon cancer. Jay was born July 19, 1972, in Willoughby, OH, a son of John "Jack" and Sharon (Bayens) Fazzone. A 1990 graduate of Lake Catholic High School, he later completed his bachelor's degree in business administration, graduating from Baldwin Wallace University, Berea, OH. While at Baldwin Wallace, he excelled as a member of the Varsity Football and Baseball Teams. Jay was currently serving as the Director of Global Surgical Education for BD -Surgical Solutions and Products, Warwick, RI. He loved the opportunity his career gave him to travel the world and create relationships with colleagues, surgeons, and educators. Jay was previously employed as a sales manager by ADP in Cleveland, OH. A devout Catholic, Jay was a member of St. Joseph Church, Sharon. He was previously a member of Blessed Sacrament, Howland, OH, where he had served on Parish Council. He had just celebrated his 25th wedding anniversary with his beloved wife, Traci Valentino, whom he married June 7, 1997. She survives at home in Hermitage. Jay served as a longtime board member for the Hermitage Little League Association and had also volunteered as a coach for 15 years. In 2006, he was honored by the Shenango Valley YMCA and was the recipient of their Volunteer of the Year Award. An avid golfer, Jay was a diehard Cleveland Sports Fan and loved serving as "Commissioner" of his neighborhood's Fantasy Football League. Jay always looked forward to unwinding and spending time with his dog, Leo.
