Aldo Panizzon

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved brother and friend, Aldo Panizzon, who peacefully left us on January 19, 2025, surrounded by family and friends.

Aldo was born on June 15, 1948, in Crespano Del Grappa, Province of Treviso, Italy. At the age of 14, he immigrated with his family to Santa Barbara, where he attended local schools and worked in construction with several contractors. Later in life, Aldo found a fulfilling role as a groundskeeper for the Hope and Monte Vista School District, a position he held until his retirement.

Aldo was known for his rare talent of fixing anything that was broken. Whether it was a mechanical issue or a household repair, Aldo loved to solve the problem and always found a way to make things work again. His ingenuity and determination were unmatched, and he shared this gift with anyone who needed it.

Aldo is survived by his beloved sisters, Sofia Gallina and Nerella Reginato, his dear brother Dante Panizzon (and sister-in-law Maria), his devoted friend Elena, and her daughters, Gina and Lisa, as well as numerous wonderful nieces and nephews.

Aldo was loved by many and touched the lives of everyone he met. His warmth, generosity, and sense of humor brought joy to countless friends and strangers alike. He had an uncanny ability to leave a lasting impression, making people smile wherever he went—a rare gift that few can claim.

In celebration of Aldo’s life, a gathering will be held on March 9, 2025, from 2:00 to 5:00 PM at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church Hall, 1300 E. Valley Road, Santa Barbara.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Alpha Resource Center of Santa Barbara.
