Scott S. Bonica

Scott S. Bonica, age 32, of Wilmington, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family and friends on October 2, 2023.

Scott was born on April 8, 1991, in Waltham, MA; he was the cherished son of John P. and the late Nancy S. (Simons) Bonica of Wilmington, MA.  Scott was raised and educated in Wilmington; he loved playing sports throughout his life and made many life-long friends.  Scott was a graduate of Wilmington High School with the Class of 2009 and a member of the Wildcats Football Team.  Scott went on to further his education at Johnson & Wales University  and was employed as a Purchasing Manager for Star Sales & Distributing Corporation.

Scott loved traveling, especially to Myrtle Beach and Prince Edward Island in Canada. His contagious laugh and palpable energy for life uplifted everyone around him. Be it at a Boston Sport’s event, golfing, the beach, or family and friend gatherings, Scott ensured to remain surrounded by those he cherished the most. Scott held all his relationships dear. But what he had in Sara, he knew was special. Sara and Scott’s devotion to one another goes unmatched. Their shared happiness will carry on in beautiful memories of traveling together and simply being together. 

Scott will be fondly remembered for his big heart, endearing personality, and beautiful soul; he was always there to lend a hand or an ear to family and friends.  Scott's brief time on earth left such an imprint on those he touched; he will forever be loved and missed by all who knew him.

Scott was the loving brother of Lauren (Bonica) Murray and her husband Cory of Salem, NH, beloved boyfriend of Sara Pudvelis of Wilmington, MA. Scott is further survived by his faithful dog Zoey, as well as his large and loving extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
