Paul Rosato Obituary

Visit the Salerno’s Funeral Home-Rosedale Chapel - Roselle website to view the full obituary.

Paul E. Rosato, born on July 21, 1965, left this world on July 13, 2025, but his vibrant spirit will forever be cherished by those who were fortunate enough to know him. He was a devoted husband to Donna Perpignani, a bond that was built on love and enriched by a shared passion for life.

Paul was a beloved brother, providing unwavering support and companionship to his siblings: Jim (Vickie) Rosato, Jean Rosato Totten, and Steve (late Bonnie) Rosato. His warm heart and infectious laughter will be sorely missed by his extended family—nieces and nephews Jackie Rosato, Christy (Matt) Hammer, Jami Rosato, Kailie Rosato, Jennifer Totten, Daniel Totten, Brian Totten, Michael (Denise) Rosato, Julie (James Larson) Rosato, Joseph Rosato, and Jesse and Travis Race. Paul took immense pride in being an uncle and great-uncle, sharing many joyful moments with Kinsley and Colton Hammer, Rylie and Alex Rosato.

He was the cherished son of Jack & Corinne (nee Tucker) Rosato, who have now passed, leaving behind memories of a son filled with laughter, kindness, and a zest for life that knew no bounds.

Paul was not just known to his family but also to friends and the community for his remarkable culinary skills, especially his celebrated lasagna that brought everyone together. Beyond the kitchen, he found joy in the open road, embracing his love for motorcycles and the thrill of working on cars. Music was another language through which Paul expressed himself, often found strumming on his self-taught guitar, filling the air with melody and joy.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate his life on July 20, 2025, at a visitation taking place from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Salerno's Rosedale Chapels, located at 450 W Lake St, Roselle, IL 60172.

Though Paul has departed from this earthly realm, his legacy will resonate within the hearts of many, a testament to a life well-lived, surrounded by love, laughter, and cherished moments that will linger in the memories of those he leaves behind.
