Wayne Cardelli Obituary
We are sad to announce that on January 8, 2026, at the age of 78, Wayne Cardelli in Carmichael, California passed away. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Wayne Cardelli to pay them a last tribute.
As Wayne departs from our midst, his spirit ascends to join the cosmic dance of stars, a shimmering constellation of memories that will forever grace the night sky of the hearts of those who loved Wayne. Though Wayne may no longer walk beside us, his legacy lives on — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of time and space.
He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, June Dolores Stamatis and Frank Leo Cardelli; his wife Jeanine Fornaciari; his son Paul Cardelli (Elaine); his grandchildren, Luca, Cecelia, Nora and Quinn; his daughter Michelle Ballard (A. J.); and his pet Bently.
In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations in Wayne's honor to the Giants Community Fund: https://www.mlb.com.
