Paulo's obituary

Paul "Paulo" Joseph Rigdon, 58 - dedicated son, husband, father, and friend passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones on Monday, May 1, 2023. He is survived by his mother, Rose Rigdon, his wife, Donna McAleese, and his four children, Kristi (David), Bradley, Sean, and Gianna.

Paul attended the Clarke School and continued his education at Gallaudet University, where he met many of his beloved friends. Paul and Donna met long before they could even imagine the concept of marriage in a tap dance class at a young age. They later re-connected and married on October 31, 2009, where he welcomed his newest family.

Paul was a dedicated father and cherished his family with all his heart. He brightened every room he walked in with his funky dance moves and sense of humor. There wasn't a person he couldn't make smile and would do anything to make someone laugh. He never missed a milestone or achievement for one of his children and would tell everyone how proud he was of them. Anyone who knows him knows he has a big heart and would drop everything to be with his family and friends.

He loved the Miami Dolphins and had just about every shade of orange in his wardrobe. He would find peace and love in all his travels, and we will continue to treasure our memories with Paul.

He loved his family and cherished his friends deeply, and we take comfort in knowing he is at peace now.

Please join us for a celebration of life in honor of Paul on Sunday, June 25, from 11-2 pm at the Union Mills Public House in Frederick, MD. 340 E Patrick St Unit A, Frederick, MD 21701
