Patrick Parise, Jr. Obituary
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Patrick J. Parise Jr. A loving father, grandfather, and friend, who peacefully departed this life on July 9, 2025, just days shy of his 84th birthday. Born on July 16, 1941, in Madison, Wisconsin, Pat filled his years with kindness, spirituality, and devotion to those he cherished.
A gentle soul, Pat was known for his compassionate heart and ability to uplift those around him. He lived a life full of service, always ready to lend a hand or share words of encouragement. An avid churchgoer, his faith guided him through challenges and fueled his passion for helping others, leaving a profound impact on family and community alike. Pat also enjoyed reading the Sunday Milwaukee Journal, James Patterson books, listening to the Doobie Brothers, watching the Milwaukee Brewers, and all other Wisconsin sports teams.
Pat is survived by his three devoted daughters, Cindy (Don) Becker, Christine (Darin) Gordon, and Cheri (Chris) Till, as well as his beloved sister, Angie (Ernie) Lawinger. He leaves behind eight loving grandsons—Drew, Jack, Owen, Alex, Evan, Carter, Harry, and Mason—each of whom reflects his legacy of love and kindness. He is preceded in death by Patrick Parise, Sr. (father), Rose Parise (mother), and Patsy Parise (sister).
A private service with close family will be held to celebrate Patrick’s life.
