John F. Schmitt

64, passed away on July 13, 2023. Born in Pittsburgh on December 22, 1958 beloved son to the late Joseph and Dorothy Schmitt. Loving father to Jason, Cody and  Joey Schmitt.  Proud grandfather to Avery and Presley. Brother to Jim Schmitt. Preceded in death by his siblings Joe and Maureen. Forever friend and beloved mother to his children Sandra Grosz. Also survived by many loving extended family members

John was a great man. A Charismatic, Intelligent, Passionate, Sun worshipper you’ll ever meet. A man who wasn’t afraid to tell you how it was and stuck to his words. Although stubborn and short fused he always helped his family, loved ones and even people that needed a hand in life. For those who never met him he’d be that man at the Pen’s game yelling the loudest with passion and would treat you like a childhood friend regardless of your looks or views. Unless you were a republican, jk he’d bust your balls no matter what you are but in a friendly fashion. We can’t compare how much we love you dad even to all our family because to me you were always our hero. I can already hear everyone yell “Schmitty” as you walk through the gates of Paradise. Rest in Peace.
