Anthony "Tony" Andrew Fascendini

With heavy hearts we announce the unexpected passing of Anthony “Tony” Andrew Fascendini, 62, of Plainville, who passed away surrounded by his loving children on Sunday, November 10, 2024 at Bristol Hospital due to injuries sustained in a tragic motor vehicle accident.

Tony was born on June 10, 1962 in New Britain, CT son to Simone (LaBracque) Fascendini and the late Andrew Fascendini. Tony was a lifelong resident of Plainville and attended local schools where he formed strong connections with many individuals and cultivated lasting friendships. Tony filled the world with his many talents and skills. As a self-employed construction worker, he showcased his mastery in various trades, from mechanics to heavy equipment operation. His reputation as a jack of all trades and a true handyman preceded him wherever he went.

Tony's passion for maintaining his daughter's lawn was evident to all who knew him. He took great pride in ensuring it was always perfectly manicured, a true labor of love that brought him immense joy. His commitment to this task reflected his giving nature and his unwavering dedication to his family.

Throughout his life, Tony cultivated a deep connection with the sea, particularly through his shared fishing expeditions with his children. He found solace and fulfillment in casting lines and reeling in a catch, instilling in his loved ones a deep appreciation for the serene beauty of the water. Among the fondest recollections were the moments spent fishing at Dock & Dine in Old Saybrook, where he and his son forged unbreakable bonds.

Tony found joy in simple pleasures, relishing in the comfort of watching NASCAR, M*A*S*H and Cops re-runs and listening to the melodies of country music or ZZ Top. Tony was known for his exceptional love of Pepsi, Golden Corral, the Chinese Buffet, and steak dinners shared amongst family and friends. It would be remiss to not mention his obsession and love he had for his beloved Bronco.

Tony brought laughter and joy to all who knew him, earning a well-deserved reputation as a jokester with a heart of gold. His quick wit and warm personality left a lasting impression on everyone he met and you just never knew what kind of prank he was going to pull next. Tony's impact on those around him will never be forgotten, and his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Tony is survived by his daughter, Heather (Fascendini) Carney, his son, Michael Fascendini and his significant other, Bella, his daughter, Noelle Joslyn and her husband, Ben, his granddaughter, Gemma Mae Carney, his grandson, Logan Joslyn, his mother, Nana Simone Fascendini, his siblings, John Fascendini and his wife, Meg, Robert Fascendini, Laurie Legrande and her husband, Dave, and Edward Fascendini, and many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and extended family members.
