Pasquale Accettura

Pasquale Accettura, 65, of El Dorado Hills, California, passed on November 25, 2020. Pasquale was born on March 2, 1955 to the late Giovanni and Raffaella in Sannicandro di Bari, Italy. Pat came to America with his parents and siblings when he was eleven years old. They made San Jose, California their home until he moved to El Dorado Hills in 2000. Pat spent his childhood side by side with his brother Tony. Rarely could they be found apart. He loved his family more than words could express. Pat's brothers, his sister, nieces, and nephews were his best friends. Although he never had children, he often said he did not need any because he had nieces and nephews that he loved as his own and they loved him just the same. Pat spent many years working at Almaden Imports which he owned with his brothers and was involved in multiple business ventures as an owner/operator over the years. He poured his heart and soul into every business venture and was very savvy, which was one of his best kept secrets. Pat lived the life of 20 people and he did it his way. He always did what he wanted, and he did it well. You always knew where Pat stood in life. In 2000, he met the love of his life, Jennefer. They were married in 2011. Together, they opened their home to family and friends every chance they could and celebrated occasions big and small. Nothing made him happier than having his home filled with the people he loved. Pat also loved his dog Samson who he affectionately called "my son". Pat is survived by his wife Jennefer, his mother Raffealla, brothers Tony and Jack, his sister Nina Chimienti, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, and his many nieces and nephews and countless friends. Pat's passing will forever leave a hole in all the hearts that loved him. We will honor him by remembering his quick wit, infectious smile, and his gigantic heart.
