By obits

Jay Legros, 65, of Roscoe, lost his courageous battle on Feb. 22, 2020. Jay died peacefully surrounded by his loved ones. He was born Nov. 6, 1954, in Charleroi. He was the son of Gizel Kokoska Legros of Stockdale and the late John “J.B.” Legros. Jay graduated from Belle Vernon Area High School in 1972 and worked at Universal Stainless and Alloy in Bridgeville until the time of his illness. He was an avid fisherman and hunter as well as an avid Pittsburgh Steelers and Penguins hockey fan. He enjoyed spending many hours boating on the Monongahela River and loved time spent with the Wounded Warriors during their annual fishing on the Mon and spending time with family and friends. Jay was known for his love, kindness, generosity and gentle spirit. A loving son, father, brother, uncle, great-uncle and friend, Jay will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. Besides his mother, Jay is also survived by two sisters and brothers-in-law, Yvonne and Bill Waller of Roscoe, and Diane and Dennis Koneffko of Stockdale; four children, Jayson and Desarae Legros of Belle Vernon, Ian Legros of Newport, R.I.; Franchesca Legros of Uniontown and Tyler Legros of East Millsboro; two step-grandchildren; many nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews; and a special friend, Kris Weeks of Elizabeth. Jay was preceded in death by his twin brother, John Legros; and his father, J.B. Legros. Per Jay’s wishes, no public funeral services will be held. Please show kindness to a stranger in Jay’s memory. The MELENYZER FUNERAL HOMES & CREMATION SERVICE INC., Roscoe, is in charge of the arrangements.
