Brian Calcagni Obituary
WORCESTER - Brian Phillip Calcagni, 46, of 38 Gifford Drive passed away unexpectedly on August 13, 2013 at Saint Vincent Hospital. Born July 6, 1967 in Worcester, he leaves behind his mother, Priscilla Calcagni and stepfather John Mountzuris of Worcester; his brothers, David of Worcester and Christopher of Hopkinton, MA. He was predeceased by his father, Kenneth and brother, Jeffrey, both of Worcester.
He also leaves behind 2 beautiful daughters, Justina Calcagni of Oxford and Samantha Evans of Worcester; his long-time friend, Jessica Evans of Worcester, and nephews, Cole and Eli Calcagni of Hopkinton, MA.
Brian "graduated" from Burncoat High School in 1985, leaving behind a trail of beleaguered educators and battle-bruised classmates. A jack-of-all-trades in a true sense, Brian excelled working with his hands, whether roofing, painting, building or metal work. He loved fishing, whether in water or on the ice, a passion he shared with his daughters. He will be missed for his sharp wit, delivered with his mischievous, dimple-laced smile, his easy-going attitude and voracious appetite for food and for life.
Calling hours will be held from 5-7 p.m., August 16th at Caswell-King Funeral Home, 474 Grove Street, Worcester. Funeral Service will occur at 11:30 a.m. at Immaculate Conception Parish, Worcester.

Mrs. Calcagni,
I was so sorry to hear that Brian passed away. He was always so quick to say hello with a smile when I would run into him on my way out to work or seeing him on your porch on the weekends;or helping you with your lovely garden. I love how he knew everyone who drove up our street, and he never hesitated to stop and speak with them.
He will be missed by many people; he touched many lives.
Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Rudy,
I was so sad to hear of your passing. I'm glad I got that last smile a couple of weeks ago.
You continued to be a great friend to me after my husband Anthony passed away (8.14.10), you will be missed. You were much like my Anthony-you could always make me laugh.
I know Tony and Homa (11.24.09)are helping to guide you on your final journey to be at peace and rest with the Lord (and a bunch of other friends). Rest in peace my friend.

To Ms Calcagni, David and Christopher,
I cannot express how deeply I feel for all your loss. It's so saddening to see a best friend has left us all; the impact of this news has been profound for me. I don't believe we could count how many times I slept over your house. Every day, I still think of and love to tell stories of all the crazy things we all did as kids and Brian always seems to be at the center of the best ones- he had such a great spirit and humor and was a wonderful friend. You are such a wonderful and unforgettable family to me.
Brian,
Goodbye old friend. God Bess.

He always had a kind word to say to me, and that I will truly miss... God bless you Brian, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. Take care of your little Angel from above and shower her with love and light. I loved you and every time I saw you, you made my life a little happier. Thank you for the laughter, special times shared and beautiful memories. I'm sure Dave, Peter, Kirby and all the others welcomed you home with open arms. "To live in the hearts of those who love us is never to die." You will live on in the hearts of many. Prayers to your entire family,

I went all through W.B. st school, Forest Grove, then Burncoat. He's 2yrs younger but he was my buddy. He was so funny, I would give him cigs and he'd say "don't worry, Con, I always got your back". Bri made me laugh every single day no matter what. He was a sweetheart, Mrs. Calcagni, and I really loved him. You raised a good man. I am just heartbroken for you. Much love and many prayers to you and your family, Mrs.Connie (Fitzsimmons) Markarian
