Biagio “Poli” Harrington, 50, of Lyons, Kansas, passed away surrounded by family and friends on November 15, 2025, at Salina Regional Healthcare Center. Born on October 6, 1975, in Salina, Kansas, he was the son of Patty Harrington. He married Brandi Harrington in 2003, and to this union they had three daughters. They later divorced. Poli lived a life full of love, laughter, and purpose.
Poli was known for his generosity, sense of humor, and unwavering devotion to his four daughters. His passion for cooking—especially his legendary smoked pork—was a hallmark of his life. He often volunteered to cater for his daughters’ school events and found joy in preparing savory dishes that brought people together. Poli believed that food was an expression of respect and love, and he shared that belief with everyone he met.
Professionally, Poli was an accomplished flooring installer, twice earning the National Title for Certified Floor Installer of the Year and becoming the youngest to win in Las Vegas, Nevada. He proudly owned and operated Harrington Floor Coverings, building a reputation for excellence and dedication.
Beyond his achievements, Poli found happiness in simple traditions—smoking meats during the Christmas season and delivering them to friends, family, and neighbors. He lived by the principle that every person was worthy of respect, and those who knew him will remember his warmth, generosity, and the laughter he brought to every gathering.
Poli is survived by his daughters Jayden (Jarett Phillips) Harrington, Lyons, KS; Skylar Harrington, Oahu, HI; Payton Harrington, Ellinwood, KS; Amaya Millar, Chase, KS; grandson Joel Phillips, Lyons, KS; mother Patty Harrington, Salina, KS; sisters Katherine (Sean) West, White City, KS, and Angela Bhakta, Salina, KS; brothers Gigs (Brenda) Ross, Derek (Amanda) Ross, and Houston Ross, all of Salina, KS; step-sisters Kimberly (Jalen Rueckert) Caffrey and Samantha (Clinton) Emig, both of Abilene, KS; step-brother Ricky (Jessica) Caffrey, Jr., Enterprise, KS; aunts Bobi (Kevin) Weberg, Little River, KS; uncle Tom Kelly, Sterling, KS; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by grandparents Helen and Charles Maples; sisters Amelia, Tonya, and Faustine Harrington; and brother Joseph Harrington.
A celebration of life will be held on Friday, November 21, at 2:00 PM at Emmanuel Foursquare Church, 1325 E Cloud St, Salina, KS. Friends and family are invited to gather, share stories, and honor his life. A private inurnment will take place at a later date.
