Amilcare Sepa Obituary

BRISTOL

Amilcare C. Butch Sepa Jr., 84, beloved husband of Patricia C. (Shamper) Sepa passed away peacefully at UCONN's John Dempsey Hospital on September 27, 2025. Born in Bristol on April 30, 1941, he was the son of the late Amilcare C. Sepa Sr. and Stella (Sobjecki) Sepa. A lifelong Bristol resident, he was a graduate of E.C. Goodwin Technical High School. He proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam era before joining the Connecticut Army National Guard where he would serve until retirement. An avid Celtics fan, Butch coached the St. Stan's boys basketball team with a 24-0 season record to a state championship in 1979. Ahead of his time, he was also instrumental at forming a girls basketball team at the school. He is the recipient of the Archdiocese of Hartford's St. Joseph Medal for his exemplary and selfless service. After retiring from a 32 year career at New Departure Hyatt, Butch and Pat traveled and enjoyed their children and grandchildren. He was a great dad. And Poppie, to his grandchildren, was a kind and loving presence. He always had a cheerful word, gave sage advice and would pick you up or drive you wherever you needed to go. Not only would he go out of his way to help family and friendshe always had scissors! He is survived by his devoted wife of 61 years, Pat, and his children James Sepa and his wife Darcy of Farmington, Jeff Sepa and wife Lindsey and Joel Sepa and his partner Elizabeth Harrigan each of Burlington and Jennifer Sepa Milano of Bristol, as well as his sister Sandee Simpson and her husband Mark, also of Bristol. He will be missed by all, including his grandchildren Ethan, Aidan, Grace his girl Friday, Cullen, Emma Emily, Zo Zoina, Maizy Maizy Daisy and Logan. The family would like to thank Avon Health Center along with the doctors, nurses and staff of John Dempsey for Butch's kind, professional and compassionate care. His family will receive friends on Thursday (October 2, 2025) between 6 and 8 p.m. at Funk Funeral Home, 35 Bellevue Ave., Bristol. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday (October 3, 2025) at 11:30 a.m. at St Matthew Church at 120 Church Avenue, Forestville CT.
