Michael Perfetto Obituary
Michael Mace Perfetto, 31, of Middletown, formerly of North Haven passed away on Sunday, January 21, 2024. Born in New Haven on July 6th, 1992, he was the beloved son of Gregg M. and MaryBeth Mace Perfetto. Michael was a loving, caring, kindhearted young man who had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to make people laugh with his jokes and impersonations, and made-up silly nicknames for everyone he was close with. He would do anything for family and friends. He loved to cook and try many different international meals, sometimes concocting his own version of these meals. He loved to play board games and go out with friends. Michael made friends wherever he went and enjoyed spending time with them and his family especially his three sisters who he loved unconditionally. Loving brother of Cassandra "Rink" Murray (Steven) and Courtney "Scrimps" Perfetto. He was the fun uncle of Emilia "Emils" Murray, Grace "Baby Geese" Murray and Henry "Hank" Murray. Grandson of Richard Mace. Also survived by many, aunts, uncles and cousins (who he loved growing up with and reminiscing about all the fun times), his pet dog Sadie "Tiny" or "Tiner" and his pet turtle Franklin. He was predeceased by his sister Erin "Squeak" Perfetto, and infant sister Ashley, grandparents, Joanne Mace, Raymond and Eileen Perfetto, his uncle's Gary and Bruce Perfetto. He is also survived by several close friends that were very special to him and he considered family. Michael's family would like to thank our family and friends for all of the love and support you have shown us - we will never forget your kindness.

My deepest condolences to the Perfetto Family. I´ll cherish the years I spent working with Mike at Friendlys and all our memories going to lunch at Halfmoon and our hikes at Sleeping Giant. We would drive around what seemed like forever checking out cars at dealerships and he was always cracking jokes about the silliest things. RIP Mike. Thanks for always putting a smile on my face

My heart is absolutely broken for your family. Michael was an absolutely wonderful guy. My daughter Melanie and Michael were very close friends in High School and went to Prom together. I remember one time when I sent a text to him and I misspelled my name on it. It said "Tuna" instead of Tina. For years after that he always called me Tuna and it always made me laugh. We went apple picking and I tripped in a hole and tried so gracefully to catch myself, we all laughed hysterically for the rest of the day. May he rest easy now. Please know he will forever be in my heart as well as your family at this incredibly difficult time.
