Celebraing Phil Paonessa

Hi everyone,

Our dad, Phil Paonessa, passed away peacefully on December 15, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

We will be celebrating his incredible life on:

Saturday, February 15, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM

St. John's Lutheran Church

Arroyo Grande, CA 93420

As we prepare for this special day, we’ve set up this fundraiser to help with funeral expenses. Contributions are welcome but not expected—your love, memories, and support mean everything to us as we honor his memory.

Thank you for helping us celebrate our dad in the way he would love—surrounded by love, music, laughter, and the people who meant the most to him. He was truly one of a kind, and we’ll carry his spirit, his dance moves, jokes, and his love with us forever.

With all our love,

Kelly, Katie, and Christina Paonessa
