Joseph Francis Pagini

1988 - 2022

Joseph Francis Pagini, 34, tragically succumbed to his addiction battle on Saturday, October 15th, 2022. Joey was born to Janet and Donald Pagini on July 8th, 1988, at the Meriden-Wallingford Hospital. He was their 2nd son and would complete their perfect little family. Joey grew up on Preston Avenue, attending school at Mount Carmel, Nathan Hale, Thomas Edison and Wilcox Tech, and most recently living on Paddock Avenue. He was at his happiest with tight lines (fishing) on the CT/RI shoreline, waiting for the next big catch, or just generally enjoying the outdoors. He would often go hiking to help clear his mind, especially around Giuffrida Park. He was presently pursuing a career as a tower technician at the Pinnacle Career Institute. Joe was an incredibly hard-working individual and kindhearted. His family will forever miss Christmas mornings with Joe, where it is tradition to clean up used wrapping paper by crinkling it up and throwing it at the most unsuspecting family member.

He is survived by his parents, Janet and Donald Pagini of Meriden, and brother David and sister-in-law Rebecca Macfarlane. He was also a very proud first-time uncle to Amelia Pagini, whom he loved dearly. He also leaves behind numerous loving aunts, uncles and cousins.

His family will receive relatives and friends on Thursday, October 20th from 4 to 7 p.m. at the John J. Ferry & Sons Funeral Home, 88 E. Main St., Meriden. Everyone is invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial to be held on Friday, October 21st at 10 a.m. at Our Lady Queen of Angels Parish, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, 109 Goodwill Ave., Meriden. Burial will follow in St. Stanislaus Cemetery.
