Paolo Stefano Fratianni died on Monday, October 28, 2019 at his home in Bloomington, Indiana. He was born on March 28, 1970 in Columbus, Ohio. Paul was a lively and precocious child with boundless energy. He grew into a compassionate, generous and loving man, and a devoted father of two lovely daughters.
Outside the family, his life-long mission was preserving the environment and fighting for economic equality and social justice. He left a footprint on this earth and influenced family and friends to follow suit. Paul graduated from Indiana University with a degree in religious studies, a topic he continued to explore and debate with fervor. He opened two shops on alternative health supplements and was passionate in dispensing herbal wisdom. Later, he founded and ran the Persimmon Inn with Sue O'Rourke Fratianni.
Paul is survived by his father Michele Fratianni; mother Linda Kubiac Fratianni; sister Claudia Friedman; brother Jon Fratianni; step-mother Shelley Fratianni; step-sister Christi Walton; daughters Abigail Cedar Fratianni (mother Holly Cedar) and Sophie Poppy Fratianni (mother Sue O'Rourke Fratianni).
Paul will be sorely missed by family and friends alike. Farewell Paolo Stefano Fratianni.
