Obituary: Jason John St. Pierre, 51, of Wallingford

Information via Wallingford Funeral Home:

Jason John St. Pierre, 51, passed away on Thursday, June 15, 2023 at his home in Wallingford after a heroic battle. He was born in Meriden on April 3, 1972 to Sally (Caldwell) St. Pierre and the late John F. St. Pierre; he was the youngest of six children.

Jason graduated from Lyman Hall High School in 1990 and went on to be an asset in every job or venture he took on. He earned a patent while doing research and development for TI Automotive in Meriden and created a control valve and system for fuel vapor recovery used in many automobiles to this day.

He was a talented builder, carpenter, plumber, mechanic and spent his last years at The Hartman Company doing electrical work. Jason was a trusted leader who could improve upon and exceed the expected outcome of any project he took on.

An avid fisherman, Jason passed his knowledge down to generations of family, friends and even strangers. He was always happy to share his love of fishing with others and would often take time to help young anglers improve upon their skills to become better fishermen. He also enjoyed hunting, ice fishing, hiking, four wheeling, being outdoors and of course the Boston Red Sox. He made frequent trips to Maine and became part of a larger family that welcomed him with open arms.

Jason is survived by the love of his life, his wife Margaret (DiCorcia) St. Pierre of Wallingford and their dog, Dave. He also leaves his mother, Sally St. Pierre of Durham; his brother, James St. Pierre and his wife, Diana of Durham; his sister, Judy Johansen of Wallingford; many nieces and nephews; and an ever-growing number of great nieces and nephews. In Jason’s eyes, family extended beyond blood and his loyalty ran deep. He held the title of “best friend” and “brother” to many, including his core group, Danny, Jay, Brian, Joel, John, and Jimmy along with Laura and Ruby Lu who stood by his side through the good and the bad, until the very end. He was predeceased by his father, John F. St. Pierre; his brothers, George, Johnny and Jeffrey St. Pierre; and his daughter, Jacklyn St. Pierre.

Jason’s family would like to extend their gratitude to the Franciscan Home Health Care & Hospice for the compassionate care and kindness they provided during his final days.

Calling hours will be held on Friday, June 23rd from 10:00am to 12:00pm at The American Legion Post 45 of Meriden, 835 Hanover Rd., Meriden. A celebration of Jason’s life will begin at noon with a memorial service; immediately following the memorial, the family invites everyone to stay for a day of fishing, horseshoes, and a picnic to celebrate in St. Pierre style on the Legion grounds.
Until we meet again, keep your lines tight and your beers cold (and your schnapps). You will be forever missed and will leave a void in more hearts than you could comprehend.
