Paul John Podesla

Paul John Podesla passed away peacefully at Riverview Medical Center on November 19, 2025, holding the hand of his beloved wife, KC. Paul was a loving husband, son, brother, uncle and fiercely dedicated friend. His biggest accomplishments include serving his country in the Army Reserves and dedicating many of his years to the Best Day Foundation, which puts on beach days for children with special needs. Paul was immensely proud to be a graduate of Immaculata High School and Seton Hall University. You would often find him brandishing his Pirates gear. Paul was a vibrant man with a big heart, a big smile and a booming voice - which he used to spread joy. He was loved by so many and was surrounded by many in his last days. Paul was a member at Long Branch Covenant Church and considered that community his family. He will be missed by so many on earth but we rejoice that he is in heaven with our Father.

A celebration of life will be held with a date to be determined.

• In lieu of flowers, we ask for donations to the Best Day Foundation in honor of Paul.

• Take me to your dreams
• Touch me as I fall into view
• When the winter comes
• Keep the fires lit
• And I will be right next to you
• Keep me in your heart for a while”
