DiPasquale, 48, died peacefully in his sleep March 5, 2022 at home in Rindge, NH after a short battle with cancer.  Mike was born in Fitchburg, MA on March 7, 1973, son of John and Linda (Petrucci) DiPasquale of Fitchburg.  Mike leaves behind his wife of 21 years Wendy (Arseneault) DiPasquale and his two children Jacob and Joshua, all of Rindge, NH.

Mike was a US Army Veteran serving in the US Army Reserves from February 1992 until January 2000.  As a member of the 1173rd TTBn, Mike was a decorated soldier and was always proud of his service to our country.  Most recently, Mike was employed by Monadnock Disposal Service in Jaffrey, acting as their Route Manager. Before graduating with a Bachelor’s degree from Franklin Pierce University in 2018, Mike worked as a Maintenance Director for several healthcare facilities and apartment complexes for many years.  Mike was also a member of the RAMS (Rindge Athletic Men’s Social Club) in Rindge, holding the offices of Vice President, President and Secretary for many years. One of Mike’s greatest joys came from coaching his boys in all the sports they played and teaching his boys how to do almost anything.  His great appreciation for baseball had Mike organizing and coaching t-ball as well as Little League baseball and was a member of the Jaffrey/Rindge Mt. Monadnock Little League board of directors.

Mike loved to golf with his father, brothers, and his children.  Always the helpful one, you could also find Mike helping friends and family whenever they were in need of anything mechanical or construction related.  One of Mike’s favorite things to do was to tinker in his garage, some days for hours at a time.

Mike’s sense of humor, infectious laugh, and quick wit made for great memories and time well spent.  He spent his life dedicated to friends and family, always getting the most out of every moment of every day, making for a short life, well lived.
