“Our Beloved son Tigger was pure of heart and he will live forever in our hearts. Guardian angel please protect our son”.

Tigger lost his seven-year battle with addiction and died of a heroin overdose at age 25.

Richard J. Stavola Jr., of Middletown, passed away Friday, Oct. 11, at 25.

Tigger loved riding motorcycles and quads, fishing with his dad, visiting with his grandmother, watching the Jets, planting flowers with his mom, snowboarding with his brother, playing with his nieces, riding horses and taking the dogs to the beach with his girlfriend Sam. He loved children and animals and they loved him. Most of all he loved his family.
