Obituaries | The Tube City Almanac | February 08, 2023
Taron R. McBride, 49, of McKeesport, was born March 17, 1973, in McKeesport, PA. He was the beloved son to Terrence McBride and Dr. Deborah Cox. He is the oldest of two siblings from the marriage. Taron had a remarkable knack for writing poetry, he loved God, and gospel music.
Taron was perceived as one who danced to the beat of his own drum; the truth of the matter, he suffered from common mental conditions called obsessive impulsive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder and hyperactivity all controlled by an imbalance of hormones. Following his traumatic brain injury, he spent 24 years living a healthy life at ReMed in Greensburg, PA where he received adequate treatment that changed his life. Despite his disability, he was one who loved God, his family and longed to be accepted and loved as a person not judged because of his disability. While living at ReMed, he attended church regularly in Greensburg and when his mother was in town, he would attend church with her where he gave his life to Christ. Taron was often the staff’s entertainment and enjoyed making people laugh; he had a hearty laugh and he loved to sing. He had a heart of love and more than anything he wanted his family to embrace each other irrespective of differences.
Taron departed this life on February 2, 2023 in Pittsburgh, PA. Taron is survived by his parents: father, Terrence R. McBride, stepmother, Ruby McBride, mother, Dr. Deborah A. Cox, mother/grandmother, Patricia Cox, two brothers from the marriage: Terrence J. McBride, Jason R. McBride. He leaves five siblings: four sisters: LaShawn McBride, Shanae McBride, Terris Ross, Tieria Ross, and one brother: Sheldon McBride, a host of nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family and friends.
