David Michael Reuss, age 36 of Herminie, passed away at home on July 15, 2025.  After one year in the hospital, he came home and peacefully fell asleep in his own bed.  He was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Martha H. Reuss.  He is survived by his parents David S. and Christina Stairs Reuss, three brothers, Andrew and Sabria (Gasper), Thomas and Desiree (DeClaudio), Michael and Melaina (Brown), and the love of his life Trista (Globosky) Weiss and Dr. Leonard Weiss, paternal grandfather George F. Reuss and maternal grandparents Victor and Dolores Stairs.  He will also be missed by his favorite Aunt who was always there for him, Pamela (Stairs) Kuhn and his favorite uncle George D. Reuss who would give him the world, along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins.  He loved his nieces and nephews, Charlotte, August, Brooks, Eliana, Willow, and Harlow.  His smile and humor would light up the room.  His love for life was contagious despite some obstacles, but he overcame those.  He loved his dogs, Shiloh, Vegas, Ruby, and Springs, and his three cats, especially Twinkles.  He loved "Bro" night with Michael, selling and planting his flowers, gardening sunflowers, and caring for his bee hives.  He did many things throughout his life, like riding on a quad, family vacations to Myrtle Beach, parasailing, rollercoasters, boat rides, WWE, NASCAR, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, having a Bud-Light Lime with Dad, skiing, calling and texting on his phone, being the center of attention, hanging out with his brothers, all-night parties after high school dances, scavenger hunts with Trista, being a best man and groomsman in weddings: Andrew, Thomas, Michael, and Best Man at Trista's wedding. You will be missed by so many, our son, you are our best friend.   You are loved wholeheartedly and unconditionally.  Now you can walk, run, talk, see your dogs, and most importantly, live pain free.  We love you, buddy.  Look down upon all of us, as we are going to need it.  Your eternal light is not out, but glowing brighter and stronger every day.  This is not a goodbye, just until we meet again, my son and brother.  In lieu of flowers, please donate to All But Furgotten Animal Shelter in David's memory.  Friends will be received at the James W. Shirley Funeral Home, 176 Clay Pike, North Huntingdon, on Thursday from 4 to 8 PM and Friday from 2 to 8 PM.  A funeral Mass will take place in St. Edward Parish in Herminie on Saturday at 12 Noon.  Interment will follow in Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Irwin.  www.shirleyfuneralhome.com
