Taz Dan Pagano

  Taz Dan Pagano, age 36, of Gainesville, passed away Monday, July 27, 2020. Taz was born in Ogden, Utah on May 31, 1984 and resided there until last year when he moved to Texas. When he moved to Texas, he landed his dream job and was so proud of the fact that he was working on the new Texas Rangers Stadium and had several other jobs that were really cool and he took great pride in his work. He loved his family, was a proud dad, and could not wait to get home in the evenings to spend time with Tiffany and Kodah. He was a huge fan of professional sports, especially the Dallas Cowboys and College football, he could quote you stats as quickly as they became available. He also loved music and all types of animals. 

  Taz is survived by his wife, Tiffany Gates Pagano of Gainesville; son, Kodah Pagano; daughter, Luna Paislee Pagano (due to arrive in late August); parents, Lance and Michelle Hancock of Clinton, Utah; brothers, Ryan and Haagan Hancock of Clinton, Utah; niece, Tinlee Jayd Hancock; grandfather, Johnny Pagano; his Texas Family; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. 

  He was preceded in death by his grandmothers, Janet Hamblin and Brenda Eliason Nunn.
