John
Arrigo
Jul 21, 1972 — Aug 22, 2026
Boynton Beach, Florida
John Joseph Arrigo, 54, of Boynton Beach, Florida, passed away on August 22, 2026. He was born on July 21, 1972, in Brooklyn, New York, to John and Georgiann Arrigo.
Endearingly known as Baby John, John grew up alongside his older sisters, Donna and Denice. He was one of the biggest guys in the neighborhood, with an even bigger heart. John had a presence that was impossible to miss, but it was his warmth, generosity, and love for the people around him that made him truly unforgettable.
John was a devoted father to his three children, Leanna, Ava, and John Arrigo, whom he loved more than anything in the world. His family was at the center of his life, and he found some of his greatest joy in creating memories with the people he loved.
John had a special love for being in the kitchen and cooking for his family. He was famous for his meatballs and stuffed artichokes, and there was nothing he enjoyed more than feeding the people he cared about. He also loved gardening and took pride in growing zucchini, tomatoes, and figs in his garden.
John is survived by his beloved children, Leanna, Ava, and John Arrigo; his sisters, Donna and Denice Arrigo; and his girlfriend, Maria Ileana. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
John was preceded in death by his parents, Georgiann and John Arrigo; his aunt, Elizabeth Bello; and his grandparents, Felicia and John Arrigo.
Though his time with us was far too short, John leaves behind a lifetime of memories, stories, laughter, and love. His heart will live on through his children, his family, and everyone who was lucky enough to call him theirs.
