Michael F. Paranzino, a decorated soldier, had been a cavalry scout with the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division. His family saw him two weeks ago, when he was home in Middletown on leave. He had been in Afghanistan since March, after serving a tour in Iraq.
Michael Paranzino leaves behind a wife, Lindsey, and sons Maxton and Logan, all in Calcium, N.Y., outside Fort Drum, and his parents, Melane and Francis “Butch” Paranzino of Middletown.
Michael Paranzino graduated from Middletown High School in 2006. He did some wrestling there. He was also a good archer. He didn’t want to go to college right away and explored other options, such as working at a tent company and toiling on fishing boats. Ultimately he decided to volunteer for the military. His father said that he was proud of how far his son had come as a soldier. He described his son as a hero.
Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Michael Paranzino is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
