It is with an extremely heavy heart that we pass along this heartbreaking news. Coach Jimmy Pasquale passed away on Tuesday, April 11, 2023, at his home in Monroe Twp, NJ.
You would normally hear Coach Jimmy before actually seeing him. Loud, exciting, and all-in defined not only his coaching style, but how he approached every aspect of his life. He did the best birthday parties and excelled at working with just about anyone you asked him to coach. He loved coaching Men’s gymnastics, tumbling for Cheer and Special Needs children. He impacted hundreds, if not thousands of lives. He was truly loved by many and we will miss him greatly. He was Miss Rose’s only child. Rest in Peace my dear cousin…until we meet again. The following is a brief biography with visitation information.
Born in Easton, PA, Jimmy was raised in White Twp, outside Belvidere, NJ, where he was a 2006 graduate of Belvidere High School. Following high school, he attended Warren County Community College, working towards a degree in Criminal Justice.
In 2005, Jimmy joined the Screen Actors Guild (SAG/AFTRA) where he did local plays, commercials, and small parts in TV, and movie. In between this and wrestling, he performed stand-up comedy at clubs in NJ.
In 2004, Jimmy spent the summer working at his aunt’s business, Ace Gymnastics where coaching became another passion of his. He loved training boys in men’s gymnastics and Special Olympics team gymnasts. He also loved coaching cheerleaders to become their very best at tumbling and had been doing so right up until this week.
Around 2007, Jimmy began training at the Monster Factory Professional Wrestling Training Center under the guidance of Danny Cage, which quickly became his life.
In 2019, he became a Professional Wrestler, known to most as “Jimmy the Jester”. He also wrestled in various promotions, including Titan Championship Wrestling Entertainment, Stand Alone Wrestling, Lucha Riot, WWWA, and Atomic Championship Wrestling.
Looking always to stay fit, Jimmy enjoyed working out at any gym near him, and got his mom Rose to go along many times as her trainer to get her to live a healthier lifestyle.
His page is filled with so many tributes and memories that his family found some peace knowing how loved he was by all. He had a heart of gold and would help anyone out that needed it. His personality was a mix of “if Robin Williams and a wrestler had a child together". Jimmy was someone who could fill a room, the life of the party, and larger than life. Funny, loud, and always ready to make people laugh.
Jimmy is survived by his mother, Rose Pasquale Emmons, and her husband Edward, his step-brother Jesse Emmons, and his two favorite companions, his dogs, Holley and Nixen.
He was predeceased by his dad Andrew Palmer.
A visitation will be held at the Middlesex Funeral Home, 528 Bound Brook Road, Middlesex, NJ on Tuesday, April 18, 2023, from 4 PM – 7PM.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Discovery Institute, 80 Conover Rd, Marlboro, NJ 07746
