Patrick Victor Corrado

December 31, 2020

Patrick Victor Corrado of Jacksonville, Florida passed peacefully during the early morning of December 31st, 2020.

Living in Jacksonville his whole life, he was born April 19, 1948 to Vickie and Neil Corrado. In June 1988, he married his loving wife, Cay. Pat is survived by his wife, his daughter Angelina Marie and his son Michael Anthony, as well as his many grandchildren, Raymond, Elyse, Ayden, Anthony, Alexander, Ethan, Aaron, Ciel, Kirby, Hannah and Juliette and his great grandchildren Nevaeh, Laynah and Julian. He is also survived by his brother Neil Corrado and his wife Cheryl, as well as, Corey his nephew and Kayla his niece.

Pat was a true Italian. He knew how to cook amazing pastas and sauces, and he always drank the best wines! Pat was well known for hosting a yearly wine tasting that was not to be missed. His love for food drove him to open Corrado’s Bakery & Bistro in Five Points, as well as, helping his brother and sister-in-law, Cheryl, with all-things-wine and food at their restaurants, Derby on Park and the Old Florida Café.

He enjoyed throwing the ball and playing frisbee with his many dogs, including his current German Shorthaired Pointer, Rammer. He had a passion for automobiles and loved restoring and driving vintage cars. Sports were another passion of Pat’s; he was a huge Georgia Bulldogs fan and was an inaugural supporter of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Pat was also an avid scuba diver exploring many reefs around the world. But, what he really loved was teaching young players, including Little League coaching. Pat’s greatest passion, however, was spending time with Cay and his ever-growing family.

Pat was a proud graduate of Bishop Kenny and an active alumnus. After time serving in the Navy and other pursuits, Pat worked in the telecommunications industry for many years. He also devoted time to the Mandarin Community Club (former President), Mandarin Arts Festival (as Chair in 2004 and 2005), and the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance where he was a dedicated, active volunteer. He was also a former Chairman of the Southeast Citizens Planning Advisory Committee.

Pat will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. He will be cremated, and his wife, Cay, plans to take him to Italy one last time where his ashes will be scattered in the Tyrrhenian Sea near his ancestors’ homeland in Naples. May he rest in peace.

  6. Dear Cay,

    Our sincerest condolences to you and your entire family. To us, Pat was a wonderful and caring friend. He was alway smiling and laughing and most importantly he was a charming individual who was honest and sincere and a "good person". In our religion we call such an individual a "Mensch". There is no greater tribute and he deserved it!

    Again, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
