Ector ‘Jack’ Pesi Jr. – Charleroi

Ector “Jack” Pesi Jr., 88, of Charleroi, passed away peacefully on Nov. 16, 2025. Jack was the beloved husband of the late Joan L. Pesi, with whom he shared a lifetime of love, devotion, and family. Born on Feb. 27, 1937, Jack was the son of the late Elizabeth “Bessie” Sutch and Ector Pesi Sr. He grew up surrounded by a close-knit family and carried those values throughout his life as a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Jack is survived by his loving children: Regina (Russell) Puzausky, Bernadette (Anthony) Stark, John (Brandy) Pesi, and Michael (Marci) Pesi. He was a proud grandfather to Gino Pesi, Cori (Matt) Kebbler, Dylan (Abbey) Stark, Johnna (Sheldon) Davis, Sarah (Bob) Cone, David Mosco, Jarett Mosco, Gianni Pesi, Benito Pesi, Natalia Pesi, Dominick Pesi and Madeline Pesi. He was also blessed with five great-grandchildren: Gabriella, Mia Bella, Rodney, Amya, and Enzo. Jack is further survived by his siblings, Samuel “Bob” Sutch and Arlene (John) Kifer, as well as many cherished nieces and nephews. Jack lived a life defined by hard work, faith, and love. He built his own home, a testament to his determination and skill, and he filled it with warmth, joy, and family. He adored tending to his garden, took great pride in washing his car and keeping his yard immaculate, and loved spending time outdoors. Jack enjoyed singing, was a wonderful dancer, and was known for bringing joy into every room he entered. He was deeply devoted to his church and found great comfort in his faith. Above all, Jack was a family man whose presence will be profoundly missed and forever remembered. Family and friends are welcome from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025, at PITTSBURGH CREMATION & FUNERAL CARE, 3287 Washington Road, McMurray, PA 15317. A funeral Mass will follow at 12:30 p.m. at St. Andrew the Apostle, 624 Washington Ave., Charleroi, PA 15022. May Jack rest in eternal peace, reunited with his beloved Joan. His legacy of love, laughter, and devotion will live on in all who were blessed to know him. Arrangements entrusted to Pittsburgh Cremation & Funeral Care, Peters Township.
