My name is Mia Belanger, and I am the twin sister of my beautiful brother Gino Pacitto. who left us peacefully yet unexpectedly on Monday, March 16, 2026.

Gino was a source of light, laughter, and unwavering love to everyone fortunate enough to know him. He had a rare and beautiful gift — the ability to make people feel truly seen. Whether through his warm smile, his witty humor, or the countless quiet ways he showed up for family and friends, Gino was the kind of man who remembered what you said, showed up when you needed him, and always made you feel special.

If you knew Gino, you knew that the one thing he loved most in this world was his son, River. The bond between them was something to behold. Gino poured himself into fatherhood with the same generosity and gentleness he brought to everything he loved. That bond is unbreakable, and River carries his father's heart with him always.

Gino left this world too soon. His beloved son, River is 16 years old, and the road ahead is one no teenager should have to walk without his father. On behalf of our family, we are asking those who wish to honor Gino's memory help us to ensure his son's future is the way Gino was planning for - and that your generosity be directed to this fund established on behalf of River. The contributions will help provide for his stability, care and future during this very difficult time.

With love and gratitude - thank you for your support.
