Sebastian G. Z. Triscari

Sebastian Gerard Zachary Triscari 1954 – 2025

With hearts full of love and gratitude, we celebrate the remarkable life of Sebastian Gerard Triscari, a visionary creator, devoted family man, and generous soul who left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, leaving behind a legacy built on imagination, perseverance, and purpose.

Born in Jamestown, New York in 1954 to Basil and Virginia Triscari, Sebastian moved with his family to Camp Hill, Pennsylvania in 1961. A proud graduate of Cumberland Valley High School’s Class of 1972, he pursued his passion for electronics and storytelling, earning a degree in television engineering from a trade school in Baltimore.

Sebastian launched his career in television production at WHP, Channel 21, and in true entrepreneurial spirit, founded Triscari Productions in 1983, beginning with little more than a dream in a garage. Ten years later, his vision expanded into a state-of-the-art facility at 59 Central Blvd, which he personally renovated to include professional studio and editing suites. Over the years, his company created more than 30,000 commercials, each one a testament to his creativity, innovation, and dedication.

Sebastian’s life was deeply rooted in love and family. He married Maryrose Mudrock in 1979, and together they welcomed two children, Basil Triscari and Krystal Triscari, who carry forward his passion, humor, and wisdom. In 2000, Sebastian found love again and married Jacqlyn Turner, gaining two stepdaughters, Angela and Britney, whom he cherished as his own. Together, Sebastian and Jacqlyn shared a beautiful life filled with travel, laughter, and adventure, until her passing in February 2020.

During their time together, Sebastian wrote the inspirational book "Turn Lack to Luck with U," reflecting his deep belief in the power of optimism, resilience, and kindness. His life philosophy was simple yet profound: "Life is a boomerang," and he often encouraged others to "turn a problem into a possibility."

A generous mentor and community leader, Sebastian inspired others not just with his success, but with his unwavering integrity, work ethic, and heartfelt commitment to giving back.

Sebastian is survived by:

• His mother, Virginia Triscari, age 98
• His sister, Maria Triscari and her husband John Holmes
• His son Basil Triscari, his wife Elizabeth, and their son Sebastian
• His daughter Krystal Martel, her husband Joel, and their son Maxwell
• His stepdaughter Angela Randolph, her husband Ryan, and their children Kenna and Walter
• His stepdaughter Britney Turner and her children Dalton, Delaney and Daxton

Sebastian’s legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched—through his work, his words, and most of all, his love. His spirit will continue to echo in the stories he told, the family he cherished, and the possibilities he inspired others to see.
