Paulo John Brassanini returned home to his Father in Heaven October 1, 2022. He passed away peacefully surrounded by family at The Homestead Assisted Living in Rexburg, Idaho where he had resided the past 6 months.

Paulo was born August 4, 1935, in Brusque, Brazil to Joao Brassanini and Maria Sabina Flor. He completed his early education in Brazil, then moved to Idaho in July of 1959 at age 24.

Paulo married Karen Ann Gallup on June 25, 1971 in the Idaho Falls Temple. Farming was his passion so that is what he did for a living after coming to the states. They lived in Twin Groves when they were first married, then they moved to Hamer for a short time, and then finally moved to Terreton in 1980 where he spent most of his life. In August of 2021 he moved to Utah to live with his daughter; then in March of 2022 moved back to Rexburg, Idaho.

Paulo was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He loved gardening and his animals. He loved to joke with family and friends, but most of all he loved serving those around him.

Paulo is survived by Daughter Tischa (Greg) Castagno Grantsville, Utah; Son Michael (Tammi) Brassanini Hurricane, Utah; Brother Peter (Betty) Brassanini Rexburg, Idaho; Grandchildren Jordan (Madison) Castagno; Bree (Britton) Taylor; Sawyer Brassanini, Annabelle Brassanini, Colter Brassanini, and Raegan Brassanini; Great-Grandchild Chloe Castagno.
