Gaglione, Mario Phillip

Passed away unexpectedly on June 16, 2026, at the age of 57. Loving husband of Shannon (nee Adrian) for 24 yrs. Devoted father of Josephine & Sophia. Caring son of Ellen (nee Caldwell) & partner James Gramins, & the late Anthony Sr & stepmother Kathleen. Brother to Anthony Jr & wife Rebecca, & brother-in-law to Jason Adrian. Loving uncle to Marcus & Matthew. He was also loved by many other relatives & friends.

When he wasn’t working hard at Alsco for the last 5 years (over 20 years at G&K/Cintas prior to that), he loved to fish, bowl, play with his dogs, go to old car shows, grill, make his famous lasagna or watch drag racing. He loved watching the Bucks, Brewers, Packers, Badgers & was starting to get into hockey.

He was always tinkering with something, even when on vacation. He was the ultimate Mr. Fix-It & if he couldn’t fix it, it really was broken. He was almost ready to bring his Javelin home to make it drivable again & just came back from a special place for decades, the Chippewa Flowage near Hayward. He was always on a mission to find a good show to binge watch with his beloved daughters.

Visitation will be held at Krause Funeral Home, 21600 W Capitol Drive, Brookfield, Wisconsin on Tuesday July 7, 2026, from 4:00 PM – 6:45 PM. Funeral Service at 7:00 PM. Burial on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, 11:00 AM at Wisconsin Memorial Park, 13235 West Capitol Drive, Brookfield, Wisconsin.

A special thank you to the Fire & Rescue of Menomonee Falls who didn’t give up without a fight.
