Andrea Patoku, 42 of Peabody, passed away on September 2, 2024. Born in Tepelene, Albania, Andrea immigrated to the United States at the age of 14 with his parents and two older brothers. As the youngest of three, Andrea learned quickly to navigate the paths as the “baby” of the family with his quiet demeanor and contagious humor. He lived in Lynn until his late 20’s and then he moved to Peabody.
Andrea had a strong work ethic and spent his career in the food industry and real estate. As part of his leisure time, he liked to take part in home improvement projects as well. He will be remembered as an amazing, caring, loving son, brother, and uncle. Andrea will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
He was the son of the late Leonora (Liti) Patoku and survived by his father Kostandin Patoku. Andrea is also survived by his two older brothers Leonart Patoku and his wife Zamira Patoku and Erion G. Patoku and his wife Eliona Patoku. Andrea was a loving, affectionate and amazing uncle to his nieces and nephews; Kostandin, Alexandra, George, Leonora and Mathieu Patoku. He will forever be remembered as “ADEA”. His departure leaves an unfilled void in their lives and yet they find comfort in the memories and everlasting love they shared. Andrea is also survived by his maternal uncle Margarit (Marko) Liti and Zhaneta Liti and cousins Ajisa and Kris Liti.
