Dana A. Pariseau, 67, of Cranston, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his loving family on December 14, 2024. He was the loving husband of 40 years to Debra K. (Plants) Pariseau.
Born in Providence, he was the son of the late Joan F. (Williams) Pariseau and the late Donald A. Pariseau.
Dana was a Renaissance man of the utmost moral character. He was a master of carpentry. As much pride and appreciation as he had for his trade, he had even more for his family and friends. His wife was everything to him and together they built a beautiful life that Dana cherished deeply.
A lover of the outdoors, Dana found solace and joy in nature. Whether camping and sharing stories around the fire or taking his boat on the river with family and friends, he embraced the beauty of the natural world. He passed this appreciation on to his loved ones.
Besides his devoted wife, Dana is survived by his loving daughters, Stephanie Pariseau of Cranston, Kimberly Buonfiglio (Stephen) of Coventry, Darlene St. George (Edward) of Cranston and Jaclyn Desrosiers (Ryan) of Coventry. He was the adoring pépé of Layla, Zachary, Jacob, Adelyn, Autumn, Alexander, Connor, and Liam. Dana also leaves his siblings, Debra-Lee Pinho (Fernando) of Cranston, Donald (Ilka) of North Kingstown, Dale Gaudet (Albert), Douglas (Renee), and Dean (Lisa) all of Warwick. Dana also leaves several nieces and nephews.
