Obituary of John C. Taccone

John C. Taccone, age 62, of Trumbull, beloved husband of Sheila Parson Taccone, passed away on Monday, August 13, 2018 at St. Vincent’s Medical Center with his wife by his side. Born in Jamaica, Queens, New York on May 9, 1956, he was a son of Sybil Ramirez Taccone of Stamford and the late Frank Taccone.

  

John was passionate about art, and served for over 20 years as a proud member of Theatrical Stage Employees Local One (IATSE).  He worked on scores of Broadway productions, most recently on Aladdin.  He was also the Master Electrician at the Hard Rock Café, providing the lighting design for a wide variety of events.   His love of theatre was surpassed only by his love of music, exemplified by his developing skill as a guitar player and his unwavering love of Rock n Roll.

 

John was predeceased by a daughter, Sara Michele Taccone, and his father-in-law, William Parson. In addition to his beloved wife of 34 years, Sheila, survivors include two loving children, Jake Taccone of Trumbull and Katie Taccone of Springfield, MA, a brother, Anthony Taccone and his wife Morgan Forsey of Berkeley, CA, a sister, Cristina Taccone and her husband, Stephen Braitman of Novato, CA, mother-in-law, Dorothy Parson of Trumbull, brothers and sisters-in-law, Gary Parson, Margo Parson-Shea and her husband Kevin, Shari Lamson and Michele Hope, as well as a large number of nieces and nephews. 

 

There will be a wake on Sunday, August 19th, from 12-4 p.m. at the Abriola Parkview Funeral Home, 419 White Plains Road, Trumbull, CT, where friends and relatives can greet the family.  A memorial gathering celebrating John’s life will take place the following morning, Monday, August 20th, at 11:30 a.m. in the funeral home.
