Dennis Pacetti Obituary

Dennis Pacetti, 70, passed away on April 1, 2025, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Born on December 8, 1954, Dennis was a proud Philadelphian whose legacy is deeply rooted in family, craftsmanship, and community. A graduate of North Catholic High School, Class of 1972, Dennis carried the spirit of the Falcons with him throughout his life. His strong work ethic and dedication led him to a nearly four-decade-long career as a skilled tile setter with Local 1 BAC. His craftsmanship left a lasting mark across countless homes and buildings in the region-a testament to his precision and pride in his trade. Dennis was predeceased by his beloved wife, Jean Pacetti; his parents, Jane and Otillio Pacetti; and his late brother, Chalie Pacetti (Rita). He is lovingly remembered by his partner, Pat Begley; his brother, Joe Pacetti (the late Kathleen); his sister, Elizabeth (Bill); his sister-in-law, Maryann (Bud); brothers-in-law Timmy, Joey, and the late Chris (Irene); and his children: Derrick Pacetti (Liz), Dennis Pacetti (Lisa), Kelly Moore (Rob), Sean Begley, and Casey Ricci (Matt). He also leaves behind six cherished grandchildren: Shane Wood, Ruby Pacetti, Hunter Pacetti, Kamryn Moore, RJ Moore, and Rowan Ricci, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and godchildren. Dennis's Life Celebration will be held on Tuesday, April 8th, 2025 from 9:15 – 10:15 AM at St. Matthew's Church, 3000 Cottman Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19149. A Memorial Mass will follow at 10:15 AM.
