His sister, Sandy Scott announced his death on Saturday, April 27 via Facebook, saying the loss of her brother was sudden and unexpected. A cause of death has not been disclosed.
"I have no words to describe how I am feeling but I know I am suffering from an extreme loss," Scott wrote.
Pasfield, who attended Sayville High School, the State University of New York at Cobleskill, and studied at the Institute of Culinary Education in Manhattan, opened the go-to restaurant in 2017 with partners Frank Bragaglia and Brad Wilson.
But before he began his days behind the stove at the Brixton, Pasfield served as chef at Starr Boggs, The Trattoria in St. James, Orto in Miller Place and worked at the Public House 49 in Babylon.
He met his future partners at Public House 49 where he worked as a line cook off-season. The owners saw his talent and when they planned to open their second restaurant, the Brixton, they went straight to Pasfield.
Pasfield is survived by his wife Katie Kauffman, his parents, Robert and Janet Pasfield, sisters Lori Ann Beckmann, Sandra Scott and Deborah Haase, and brother Joshua Pasfield.
Visitation will be held at Raynor D’Andrea Funeral Home, 245 Main St, in West Sayville on Wednesday, May 1, from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Services will at 11 a.m., Thursday, May 2, with burial to follow at St. Anne’s Episcopal Church cemetery in Sayville.
