Philip Scavone

July 7, 1976  — November 12, 2025

Lincoln Park, New Jersey

Philip Scavone, 49, of Lincoln Park, New Jersey, passed away on November 12, 2025. Born and raised in Little Falls, NJ, Philip built a life defined by hard work, creativity, and love for his family.

Dear son of Sharon Marquez (Pombo) and Philip Scavone. He graduated from Passaic Valley High School Class of 1995 in Little Falls, NJ. He continued his education at Engine City Technical Institute for diesel mechanics.

He began his career at Dell Landscaping, continuing his passion for small engine repairs. He later became the proud owner of StoneyBrooke Landscaping, where his dedication, skill, and craftsmanship could be seen in every project he touched. He had an incredible talent for building and fixing things whether it was a new project in the yard or tinkering with his quads, he found joy in his ability to construct and fix things. He could look at a broken object and somehow know just how to bring it back to life. If you gave him just a hammer and a nail, he could build you an entire house. His hands were never still, and his creativity and resourcefulness left a mark on everything he touched.

Phil met the love of his life Michele, during their high school years.  They married on June 7, 2003, and have been married 22 years. They began their life in Little Falls before moving to Lincoln Park. Phil and Michele’s marriage blessed them with two beautiful daughters Ashley & Brooke. He enjoyed spending time camping with them and sharing his love of quads. Sunday morning breakfast at his favorite diner with his family was always the highlight of his week.

Phil’s true passion was building and racing his quads.  He built his first quad in 1999 and from there his passion grew. Phil traveled the country racing his quad on the ice and on dirt tracks. He never cared if he came in first, last or crashed!

Philip’s greatest pride and joy were his family. He is survived by his beloved wife, Michele Scavone, and their daughters, Ashley and Brooke Scavone. He is also survived by his parents Sharon Marquez and Philip Scavone and his sister, April Scavone and her husband Carlo Galizia & their two children Giana & Carlo. Adored son-in-law to Anthony & Barbara Toscano. He was a beloved brother-in-law to Michael & Caryn Toscano and their children Michael & Vincent Toscano, Matthew & Colette Toscano, Jeffrey and Judy Toscano and their 2 children Jayden & Jocelyn Toscano and his great nephew Michael (MJ).

Philip will be remembered for his strong work ethic, boundless creativity, dedication to helping others and a remarkable ability to build and repair anything with his own two hands. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved him.
