Sebastian Scardocci, III

Sebastian Scardocci III, age 58, passed away on Sunday, April 5, 2026, at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts following a hard-fought but brief battle with cancer. Born in Norwood, Massachusetts on June 14, 1967, he was the son of Sebastian and Nancy R. (Johnson) Scardocci. Seb was raised in East Walpole, Massachusetts and attended Walpole High School, where he was an active athlete. He played on the football team his freshman year and played baseball and wrestled his entire high school career, being especially proud of his time on the mat. After graduating from Walpole High with the class of 1985, Seb enrolled at Northeastern University in Boston, where he studied business.

Seb began working alongside his father learning to be a mason while he was still in high school. He was the proud owner and operator of Scardocci Landscaping for over 30 years. From simple clean ups to full designs, Seb offered it all, including his talents with hardscaping and masonry. He incorporated hydroseeding into his offerings, often coming home covered from head to toe caked in green hydroseed. During the winter months Seb also offered plowing, growing quite the list of customers, and kindly donating his services to help many of his community members in need.

His life was not all work though, with Seb finding time to spend with friends and family. He would meet Heather Campbell in the early 1990's at Winslow Warren Insurance while putting in multiple auto claims on his Mustang. A charming and charismatic man, Seb swept Heather off her feet. The pair were married a few years later, on May 6, 1995, in the Epiphany Episcopal Church in Walpole. They made their married home in South Walpole before purchasing a home in the neighboring town of Foxborough in 1998, where they would raise their family.

Seb was a proud, playful, and active father. His children brought out the child in him, inspiring him with their own sense of wonder and awe at the world. Many daddy-daughter dates to Bass Pro or to the Commons to eat breakfast were enjoyed with Sara, and Seb supported Mason in his athletics, coaching soccer and football teams. Seb also began teaching his son the tricks of his trade, with Mason standing on the back of the mower with him as a small child. He introduced his kids to his love of Dunkin Donuts, bringing them pink frosted donuts with sprinkles as a treat, and often taking them along on his morning runs to both the Walpole and Foxboro locations to chat with friends. He also shared his love for the New England Patriots, attending games, homecomings, and send-offs at Gillette, and taking any opportunity he could to get on TV to share his enthusiasm.

In his free time, Seb enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He was a man of grit and determination, laughter, and love. Having the gift of gab, Seb could and would talk to anyone, making friends wherever he went. He loved meeting up with friends at the Foxboro House of Pizza, where he would drink one of his favorite watermelon Canteens (which he claimed cured his diabetes) until they devastatingly discontinued it. While out, Seb would play his very special, very secret Keno numbers, thrilled when he would hit it big. Seb was also a collector, finding a way to bring new life to old items, and a backyard inventor as well. He was enormously proud of his "SETI" - his version of a YETI - a cement column cooler that could chill drinks for multiple weeks during the summer heat.
