By obits

Brad A. DeBerardinis, 33, of Belle Vernon, passed away on Saturday, April 6, 2019. Born in Monongahela on March 29, 1986, he is the son of the late Patsy S. “Dino” DeBerardinis and the surviving Darcy Huhra DeBerardinis (John Gregg). Brad was employed in the shipping and receiving department at Lee Supply Company Inc. in Charleroi for the past 10 years. In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by grandparents, Patsy and Ann DeBerardinis and Andrew and Nancy Huhra. In addition to his mother, he is survived by his wife, Lindsey Levandosky DeBerardinis; two sisters, Dena (Charles) Colditz and Lisa (Kevin) Riley; grandmother-in-law, Nancy Levandosky; father in-law, Robert Levandosky (Janice Greyshock); and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Brad had many interests. He was a member of the Charleroi Italian Club, participated in a duckpin bowling league, was an all-sports fanatic, was a sudoku, crossword puzzle and Rubik’s Cube whiz, considered Lee Supply “family” and unconditionally loved his dog, Butter. In many ways, Brad was an “old soul” who considered his father, Dino, and his late grandfather-in-law, Richard Levandosky, two of his best friends. Private visitation and services were held, followed by interment in Sacred Heart Cemetery, Monongahela. Arrangements were entrusted to ANTHONY L. MASSAFRA FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATION SERVICE INC., 40 Second St. Ext., Carroll Township/Donora PA 15033, 724-379-6900. The family suggests memorial contributions be made to the Washington Area Humane Society, 1527 PA-136, Eighty Four, PA 15330 in Brad’s memory.
