JJ loved being a big brother and was a role model for his brother and sister. He loved his mommy with all of his heart and when her grew up he wanted to be just like his daddy. He had a wonderful smile and had the gift of bringing happiness to everyone. He loved to hang out with his friends.
In addition to his parents, JJ also leaves his adoring brother Joey and sister Jocelyn, his grandmothers Maria Rosato and Donna Julien, his grandfather Hawk LeBlanc, his aunts and uncles Richard and Laurie Rosato, Rosemarie Rosato, Christine and Marty Jarmoc, David Julien, Patricia Julien, and Diane and Marcel Fortier, and many cousins, great-aunts and great-uncles. He was predeceased by his grandfather, Jerry Rosato.

We have always said that JJ was going places – he was the brightest, most polite, and most talented little boy that we knew. We are blessed to have shared so many years with him. Absolutely nothing can make this right. There is a gigantic hole that can never be filled. We will be with you every step of the way. We love you so much. ~Julia, Evan, Isabelle, Colin

Hi Mr and Mrs. Rosato- I hope you remember me. I was in JJ’s third grade class when he passed away. It broke my heart into pieces when my mom told me about his passing a day before then. I have been thinking about him recently and wanted to read his obituary, so here I am. I miss him so much, and even though it’s probably a little late to be saying this, I offer my deepest deepest sympathy to you and your family. Even though JJ and I were never good friends, we were still pals. I have to tell you one thing, and that is that JJ was (and wll always be) one of the kindest, sweetest, funniest, most generous people I have ever met. He had such a big personality and he was always one of the kindest people in my class. Even though he isn’t here anymore, he will always be remembered by the #GreatOakSquad.
Sincerely,
Sabine Brousseau Garfield
P.S
Mrs. Rosato, JJ was born in the same town as me in the same year a day after I was born, which means you were in the hospital at the same time as my mother, and JJ and I were in the newborn babies room at the same times! Isn’t that cool?
