Amemorial service to celebrate the life of Paul Mario Marigonda will take place at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 7, at Holy Cross Church in Santa Cruz.
He passed away Dec. 10 at home surrounded by his family and his beloved canine companion, Duke. He died 15 months after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
A first-generation American, Paul was the son of Laura and Cesare Marigonda of Trieste, Italy.
Italian was his first language; Paul was extremely proud of his Italian heritage. He spoke with his relatives in Italy on a daily basis.
Born in Oakland on May 9, 1960, he graduated from Skyline High School in 1978 and the University of California at Berkeley in 1982, where he studied political science, which became a lifelong passion. He was a proud Cal Bear and rarely missed a home football game.
He received his juris doctorate from Golden Gate University in 1986, then started his legal work at New and Kay in San Francisco. In 1989, he started a long career at the Santa Cruz County District Attorney’s Office, where many treasured lifelong friendships were born.
He felt he had more to give to his community and decided to run for a seat on the Scotts Valley City Council in 2000, serving as mayor in 2005. In 2006, he left the City Council when he was appointed to the Santa Cruz County Superior Court.
He was passionate about his work as a judge, presiding over many different types of cases including criminal, civil, probate, and family law.
