Obituary: Patrick John DeLillo, 61, Of Milford

Patrick enjoyed every gathering filled with love, food, and spirited conversation from his big Italian family.

Patrick John DeLillo, 61, of Milford, passed away on June 12, 2025. Born on May 17, 1964 in Queens, NY, to the late Vincent and Helen (Caiafa) DeLillo, he moved to CT in his 30’s.

A proud New Yorker to the core, Patrick was an avid sports fan. He cheered passionately for the Rangers, the Mets, and the Jets — through every win, loss, and unforgettable moment.

Patrick was also a man who found joy in the simple pleasures of life: time spent with his beloved dog Pixie, laughter shared with his closest friends — affectionately known as the “Casino Boys” — and every gathering filled with love, food, and spirited conversation from his big Italian family.
