elevated Hw63L Obituary
elevated Hw63L Marco Paglia died peacefully at the age of 56. He battled cancer for 2 and a half years with fierce determination, never surrendering to it, always looking forward to the possibility of going on another vacation with his wife. His last words “I’m in the Caribbean” and “pina colada”, with the sun beaming on his face, truly symbolized his passion for travel.
elevated Hw63L Marco was a loving husband and is survived by his wife Angelica (née Evangelista). Forever cherished by his parents, Loreto and Mirella; and his brother Dino and sister-in-law Gabriella. His memory lives on with his nieces Alessia and Luna, and nephews Loris and Kaden.
elevated Hw63L Although Marco’s physical presence may no longer grace our lives, his spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us. May his memory be a blessing and may we carry forth his legacy of strength and courage in all that we do.
elevated Hw63L Per Marco’s wishes, there will be no public gathering after the funeral.

Ciao Marco, ci lasci il ricordo della persona buona, gentile, generosa.
Che il Signore ti accolga tra gli angeli e dia conforto alla tua famiglia.
🙏🏻 😇
Maria Marcello e famiglia
Marco ci hai lasciato ci ricordiamo sempre di Te che Gesù ti ha voluto al suo fianco
My deepest condolences to Angelica and Marco’s family.
Angelica, I am so sorry to hear about Marco. I spoke to Sharon today and reminisced about the good times at Sack Goldblatt when I was there including tidbits about both of you. I wish I could come to the visitation but it is simply to far for me to drive. I am in Clarkson now. My heart goes out to you. I lost my hubby Bill a couple of years ago and I think of him and miss him everyday but the memories of our wonderful life together really helps and in time it will help you as well. My condolences to you and your family.
My deepest condolences to you Mirella and Loreto and the entire family. May he rest peacefully. With all my love and prayers Angela De Luca

My heartfelt condolences to the Paglia family on the passing of Marco. There are no words that can truly ease the pain of such a profound loss, especially at such a young age.
May God wrap you in His love, grant you strength through each day, and fill your hearts with the peace that only Christ can give. We take comfort in the promise of our Catholic faith that death is not the end, but the beginning of eternal life. May Our Blessed Mother hold Marco close, and may the angels lead him into the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
Holding you in prayer
Silvia Ricciardi
