Jerald "Jay" A. Villari

Jerald Anthony Villari, “Jay” passed away on March 11, 2021 at the age of 52.  Jay leaves his beloved wife, Tina.  Together they were raising Tina’s grandson, Jayden Davidson whom Jay affectionately referred to as “my boy”.  Jay was also the father of Celina Villari.

Born on November 3, 1968, Jay was the son of Judy Garthwaite and Stephen and Diane Villari.  He was the son-in-law of Patsy Young and Allen Adams and step-father of Shawn Rock and Anthony Denny.  Jay was the brother of Bethany Bereny, Stephanie Dorman and Stephen Villari; step-brother of Gina Cozza and Joy Bianco and brother-in-law of Jodee Adams.

Family was at the heart of Jay and in September 2019, his grew bigger when he reunited with his biological parents Susan Maioli and Gerald Greene along with his siblings Barbara Greene, Keri Catania, Robin Damas and Russell Greene.

Jay was a graduate of Cranston West High School.  He was hardworking, kind, loyal, helpful and loving.  If you knew Jay then you’ve been enveloped in one of his hugs.  He was a jack of all trades, master of none and enjoyed concerts, gardening, fishing and camping.  A perfect day would be spent sitting by a campfire with Tina and his dog Cassie by his side.

Due to Covid restrictions funeral services are private.

In honor of Jay’s life, help a friend, play with a dog or hug someone you love. He’d want you to do that.
