Paul S.

Ferrante Sr.

Paul S. Ferrante Sr. formerly of Wichita Falls, Texas passed on February 25, 2023 at United Regional.

He was 57 years young.

Paul was born in Massachusetts on May 9th, 1965 and spent his childhood in Tewksbury.

The son of the late Sebastian Ferrante and the late Elizabeth (McGinley) Ferrante; he attended Tewksbury High School and graduated in 1983. After graduation he was enlisted in the United States Army until 1989. Paul attended Boston University where he studied Computer Sciences. Over the years, Paul traveled the US and had great times throughout the country. Wichita Falls held many happy memories for him and he was happy to put down roots there with his late Wife.

Computers were one of his many passions.

Paul was an avid gamer and celebrated some of his most cherished friendships made within that community. They were kindred spirits and he always considered the community to be family of the heart.

He enjoyed many a film, always had a recommendation for a great read, loved nature- especially time spent on the beach, and had a soft spot for animals and children. He had a passion for great food and a deep rooted love of baseball. He could easily be found listening to a Boston Red Sox game during the season.

Paul loved science and science fiction; as such he was a lifelong fan of all things Star Wars, Boba Fett, and Star Trek:Next Generation. He had a love of learning and was interested in historical events. He was glad to speak on his collection of historical replicas that, at one point, included a working mini cannon gifted to him by his late Wife.

Paul was generous to a fault. He would gladly do anything within his means to help a friend without a second thought and with no regrets.

He was preceded in death by the love of his life, the late Stacey Ferrante. Paul was a devoted, loving husband and Stacey was the very air he breathed. She brought joy to his heart and peace to his soul. The love they shared was unparalleled.

He was a loving Grandpa to his four grandchildren, whom he was so proud of. He had a special bond with his granddaughter Juliana. They shared many stories, laughs, and they adored each other beyond measure.

Paul is survived by his three children; Elizabeth Hamel of MA, her husband Ryan and their children Juliana and Ryan Jr. Paul S Ferrante Jr of MA, his wife Kathi and their children Sebastian and Gabriel. Victoria Ferrante of IN, her partner and fur babies. His dear brother James Ferrante of MA, and his partner. His sister Joanna Flynn and family, of MA and sister Leslie Cotter and family, of MA. Numerous extended relatives, and wonderful friends across the country.

Paul is loved dearly by many and will be greatly missed.
