Pasquale "Pat" Cardone

Pasquale "Pat" J. Cardone, beloved father, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, resilience, and dedication. Born in Camden, NJ, to Angelo and Antoinette Cardone, Pat was raised with a strong sense of family and an unwavering commitment to hard work. He built a successful career as a lawyer, using his sharp mind and unwavering integrity to advocate for others. In 1999, he embraced a new chapter in life, moving to Florida and transitioning into the auto industry, where he brought the same dedication and charisma that defined his legal career. Pat had a deep love for cooking, finding great joy in both experimenting with new recipes and perfecting family traditions. His kitchen was a haven, filled with the aromas of Italian dishes, and his table was always a gathering place for family and friends. Whether over a simple meal or a grand feast, Pat’s warmth, generosity, and sense of humor created lasting memories for all who were fortunate enough to share in his meals.

He is survived by his beloved son, Pasquale Cardone II; his cherished brother, Angelo "Bud" Cardone Jr.; his loyal dog Rocco; and his devoted girlfriend, Lillian Costa. Pat’s legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched, and his family and friends will forever hold his memory close in their hearts.
