Carl J. Savona 62 of Endicott, New York passed away Thursday April 24, 2025. He was predeceased by his son, Jesse Savona: his parents, Frank and Catherine Savona; his brother Joe Savona. He is survived by the love of his life of twenty five years Lisa Thompson and her grandchildren who he thought of as his own, Kyler Goetz (Paige), Kalonie Bailey (Shae) and Keyleah Bailey. His brother Frank Savona. His sister Ann Canfield and her sons Dave (Crystal) and Dan Fairchild. His son Deacon Savona (Jade) and his son Sean Savona. His grandson Noah Savona. His stepchildren Justin Scott, Jamie Barber, Brandy Bailey, and Aldo (Ashley) Confalonieri, several nieces, nephews, grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
Carl worked multiple trades as an auto mechanic (Sears), carpentry, plumbing (Water Works) and the list goes on. He was very compassionate and detailed, and strived for perfection with each job he did. He said you can learn how to do anything if you just watch “You Tube.” He was very mechanical from a young age when his mother’s toaster broke he took it apart to pieces and fixed it for her. From his father giving him his first pick up truck when he got his license as a teen with business cards “We Haul You” and his father told him the Ad was in the paper already. From the phone ringing that day with 3rd floor apartments to be moved he recruited his forever best friends from Johnson City to help. He worked on houses with his father and brothers at “Savona and Sons” which he was proud of. He was a man of many talents and qualities.
Carl had a kind heart and generous spirit and was truly one of a kind. He was a family man showing love, kindness, and compassion. He enjoyed fishing and camping with family and friends. He loved to play his guitars and listen to music and see bands. He was a giver always willing to help even if he did not know you.
The last couple years were a struggle for him on each breath. He passed away Thursday morning at Wilson Hospital after a sudden fatal event that took his life. He was still giving even upon his last breath with family at his side for he chose to be an organ donor to live on in others.
He will forever be remembered in our hearts, by his family and so many close friends, too numerous to list. He would love for us all to hold on to the memories that bring smiles to our faces. Love and peace to everyone.
Celebration of life to follow on May 3, 2025 from 3- 7pm at Tap House 66 on 66 North Broad Street, Johnson City N.Y. Many close friends who loved him are playing in their bands. Everyone who has known him is welcome to come celebrate his beautiful life.
