Pasquale "Pat" Ferraiolo of Naugatuck, Connecticut passed away peacefully at Smilow Cancer Hospital surrounded by his loving family on the afternoon of January 16, 2025. He was 58 years old.

Pat was born on February 1,1966 in New Haven to the late Arthur and Patricia Scirocco Ferraiolo. He grew up in and around Ferraiolo's Food Shop which was owned and operated by his parents. He attended Notre Dame High School in West Haven and graduated in 1983. He had a career in sales, and he was a natural salesman. He worked in car sales for many years and more recently in the solar energy industry. His career choice proved to be a wise one because that is where he met and fell in love with his wife, Sarah. Together they built a loving home in which they raised their children.

Pat took his role as a husband and father very seriously. He was an extremely hard worker, and everything he did was for his family. While he worked hard, he also liked to play hard. He was an avid sports fan, and he loved attending games with his family. His favorite teams to root for included the Dallas Cowboys, New York Yankees, the Boston Celtics, and the New York Rangers. Pat also enjoyed countless concerts, amusement parks, breakfasts, and vacations together with his family. To him, his family was his greatest accomplishment and the one that he was most proud of. Whether at one of Lucas's baseball games or at a cheerleading competition for Rachel or Ava, Pat would be there as one of their biggest (and loudest) supporters. He would also show up at events to support his sister Laura as she competed in the Special Olympics. More recently, Pat was blessed by the birth of Leilani, his first grandchild who brought him much joy in his final weeks.

In addition to his wife, Sarah, Pat is survived by his three children Rachel Ross (Eric) of Oakdale CT and Lucas and Ava Ferraiolo, his granddaughter Leilani Ross; his sisters Laura Ferraiolo and Donna Gambardella; his brother Arthur Ferraiolo (Christina); his niece Kristen Gambardella; his nephews Anthony and Gianni Ferraiolo; and his beloved canine friend Bella, as well as many extended family members and friends. He was predeceased by his parents Arthur and Patricia Ferraiolo.

Family and friends are invited to visit with his family on Wednesday January 29th, 2025 from 4pm-7pm at Beecher and Bennett, 2300 Whitney Avenue in Hamden. There will be a brief service at 6:30pm at the funeral home.
