Ronald Paul Wawrzeniak, 71, of Glassport, Pennsylvania, passed away on January 31, 2025. Born on June 30, 1953, at McKeesport Hospital, Ron grew up in Glassport, where he built a life filled with music, sports, and a deep love for family. Ron was predeceased by his parents, Ted and Helen Wawrzeniak. He is survived by his twin brother, Rick Wawrzeniak of Glassport, PA; brother, Bernie Wawrzeniak of Alexandria, VA; sister, Judy Ann Wawrzeniak of Sacramento, CA; nieces, Amanda Napiecek of Wexford, PA and Natalie Wawrzeniak of Winter Garden, FL; nephew, Andrew Wawrzeniak of Mt. Dora, FL; grandniece, Cecilia Napiecek; and grandnephew, Vincent Napiecek. In his early years, Ron shared his musical talents as the lead accordion player in a band with his brothers, The Brothers Three. He was also a gifted athlete, excelling as a pitcher in Glassport’s Little League and Pony League. A proud graduate of Serra High School, Class of 1971, he carried his love of baseball throughout his life. Family legend even suggests he was once scouted by the Phillies. Whether playing golf, fishing, or cheering for his beloved Pittsburgh Pirates, Ron had a passion for sports—especially rooting for the underdog. Despite facing health challenges, Ron remained resilient, kind, and endlessly curious. His love for family and the cherished memories of his early years sustained him, along with his deep faith. Though he never traveled far from home, he took great interest in the world beyond, especially the excitement of baseball’s spring training in Florida. Ron will be remembered for his warm heart, unwavering love for his family, and the gentle kindness he extended to those around him. His family deeply appreciates the dedication of the nurses and medical professionals who cared for him over the years. A memorial service will be held at a future time. Friends will be received at the Wojciechowski Funeral Home, Glassport on Sunday from 1 to3. May he rest in peace, forever loved and remembered.
