By obits

Daryl William Demchak, 53, of Monongahela, died unexpectedly Thursday, May 27, 2021, in his home. He was born Nov. 7, 1967, in New Eagle, the son of Marjorie McCarty Demchak, with whom he resided, and the late Jack Craig Demchak. Daryl loved horses, playing his guitar and the family dogs. The jokester that he was, Daryl always made people laugh and had a way of bringing your spirits up when you were down. In addition to his mother, he is survived by three brothers, Shane, Michael and Mark Demchak, all at home; two sisters, Shari Ohler of Minerva, Ohio, and Shelly Demchak, at home; along with many nieces and nephews. Friends will be received from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, June 2, 2021, at FRYE FUNERAL HOME INC., 427 West Main St., Monongahela. Memorial donations are being accepted at the funeral home on behalf of the family. In order to provide a safe environment for all, we are asking that masks be worn inside of the funeral home.
