In Loving Memory of Andrew Philip Adornato
August 29, 1972 – May 2, 2025

Andrew Adornato of Mountainside, NJ, beloved husband, devoted father, admired brother, uncle and friend and accomplished architect, passed away peacefully on May 2, 2025 at the age of 52.  He is survived by his wife Allison, his chidren Alexander, Addison and Ava, his brothers and sister in laws Christopher (Megan) Adornato and Philip (Michele Lee) Adornato, nephews Luke and Ben, nieces Miro and Miko, sister in law Lindsay Friedman, father in law Jeffrey Friedman and uncles Anthony Adornato and Angelo Paternoster.  Andrew was predeceased by his parents Andrea and Carmen Adornato.

Born in Fords, NJ, Andrew's life was defined by fun, creativity, generosity, and a deep commitment to family and community. Andrew was a Partner at USA Architects where he worked for 30 years.  A visionary architect with LEED certification, Andrew poured his heart into every project he touched, blending function with beauty in a way that left a lasting mark on the places he helped shape. However, his lasting impact will be on all of the colleagues that he mentored along the way.

Outside the office, Andrew lived life to the fullest. He found joy on the golf course, serenity on snowy slopes and peace at the beach.  He played the most famous golf courses in Scotland and Ireland and was a member at Suburban Golf Club.  Andrew served the Mountainside Community as the President of the Mountainside Softball and Baseball league for 9 years.  Andrew helped facilitate the Mountainside PAL basketball program and most recently served as a Trustee of the Mountainside Library.  Despite his many professional and civic accomplishments, there was nothing that made him happier and more proud than coaching his children and all the children of Mountainside on the soccer, baseball and softball fields and the basketball court.
