Paul Anthony La Sala

Paul Anthony LaSala, 58, passed away unexpectedly on March 9, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. Born on April 13, 1967, in Revere, Massachusetts, Paul spent his early years forming lifelong friendships and building strong family bonds that remained central to his life.

He was the beloved son of the late Armando and Mary (MacKenzie) LaSala and the late Walter and Irene (Hurley) MacKenzie. Above all, Paul was a devoted father to Emily Rose and her partner Dan, Kimberly Willow and her partner Donny, Max Armando and his fiancée Katie, and Trevor Lee, whom he shared with the mother of his children, Heidi Murphy. He was a proud grandfather to Anthony “Tony” and Maisy Mae and was joyfully awaiting the arrival of his newest grandson, the baby boy of Emily and Dan, due April 4, 2026.

Paul was a loving brother to Michael LaSala and his wife Kathleen, Gail LaSala, Marty Lucas, and Linda LaSala McLean Piersal and her late husband Randall. He was a cherished uncle to Kristine, Jessica, and Alexa, and a great-uncle to Allister. Growing up in Revere, he excelled in sports, playing football at Revere High School where he earned the DelGaizo Memorial Award in 1985 during his senior year. He was also passionate about hockey and played baseball as a strong first and third baseman. As his own children grew, he rarely missed their games, known for his big, bold signs and his loud whistle from the stands.

Paul possessed a larger-than-life personality and a commanding presence that drew attention wherever he went. Known to many as “Mondo,” a nickname inherited from his father, a Revere Police Lieutenant, he brought laughter, generosity, and love to those around him. He cherished authenticity and live acoustic music, sharing countless car rides with his children listening to acoustic performances, especially on Sundays. Paul also had a gift for words; his published poetry captured the same intensity, depth, and insight that defined his character. His family meant everything to him, and the memories he leaves behind will be treasured by all who knew and loved him.
