Biagio “Gino” Varone, Jr., age 37 of Wayne, died Saturday, November 4, 2023.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden and untimely passing of Gino Varone, a beloved son, brother, nephew, cousin, and friend. Gino leaves behind a legacy of kindness, strength, and love. Gino’s personality was very much like his own father’s; making friends everywhere he went. He demonstrated an exceptional willingness to help others in need, showcasing a unique blend of strength and toughness combined with compassion and protectiveness.
Gino was passionate about exercising and maintaining a healthy lifestyle through fitness, throughout high school and adulthood he remained fiercely dedicated to sustaining excellent physical condition by frequenting the gym and eating well. Gino always felt compelled to be prepared for life’s challenges, especially for the unexpected. If anyone was ready for the Apocalypse, it was Gino! His preparedness and resourcefulness were just a few of his endearing qualities.
In his early professional life, Gino worked in private security, having worked with renowned artists such as Brett Michaels and various EDM artists across marque New Jersey venues. Since 2018, he’s dedicated his time and energy to Passaic County Technical Institute (PCTI), where he worked in maintenance. As Gino did best, he made friends with everyone there and left a lasting impact on the PCTI community.
Gino’s love extended beyond humans; he deeply cherished his three dogs, Spock, Thor and Ace and his cat, Sylvester. His love for his animals knew no bounds, and his furry companions brought him immense joy and comfort.
In celebrating Gino’s life, let us remember the lessons he imparted - the importance of kindness, the power of resilience, and the beauty of his special love. His memory will forever live on in the hearts of those he touched, reminding us all to be compassionate, strong, and willing to help others in need.
Gino is survived by his beloved mother; Bernadette Varone of Wayne, his two brothers; Michael Varone and his wife Jessica of Pompton Lakes, and Matthew Varone of Wayne, his three nephews; Mason, Micheal, and Joseph; his uncles Elias Massood and his wife Patricia of North Wildwood, NJ; Michael Massood and his wife Vivian of Franklin Lakes, NJ; and Edward Massood and his fiancé Robin of Greensboro, NC; his aunt Mary Massood of Woodland Park, NJ; his cousins, and dear friends. Gino was predeceased by his father, Gino Sr., in 2007; by his grandfather, Michael Massood Sr., in 2020 and his grandmother, Helen Massood, in 1997.
