Ronald E. Rossi 1978-2024

Born Feb. 4, 1978, in Youngstown, Ronnie was a devoted son of Ronald J. and Sandra L. Patrick Rossi. Ronnie attended St. Dominic’s School and graduated from Cardinal Mooney High School in 1996. He was a dedicated U.S. Postal Service carrier who took great pride in his work.

Ronnie shared a deep bond with his son, Raiden, and together they were avid fans of Marvel, DC, WWE and “Star Wars”. Ronnie also had a great passion for watching the Pittsburgh Steelers, especially when surrounded by his family.

Known for his infectious sense of humor and his remarkable ability to make others laugh, Ronnie will be fondly remembered by all who knew him. His laughter was a light in the lives of those around him.

A devoted and loving father, Ronnie was actively involved in his son’s life, coaching Raiden’s basketball and soccer teams. He rarely missed a chance to cheer him on at his games, always there with unwavering support and pride.

He leaves to cherish his memory, his mother, Sandra; son, Raiden Rossi; brother, Ryan (Nicole) Rossi; and aunts and uncles, Al (Christine) Rossi, Dan (Patricia) Rossi, Marie Rossi, Patricia Reitmann, David (Connie) Patrick and Helen Patrick.

He was preceded in death by his father, Ronald; his maternal and paternal grandparents; uncles, Vincentv A. Rossi, Richard Patrick, Martin Reitmann; and his aunt, Patti Arnoto; and leaves behind many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins whom he loved deeply.

In his final act of generosity, Ronnie was able to donate to LifeBanc, leaving a legacy of kindness and compassion.

Ronnie will be dearly missed by his family, friends and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

One of his favorite memories was going to Disney World in 2023, with 23 Rossi family members, and had the opportunity to go to Super Bowl XL with his parents and brother and witness “one for the thumb.”

His memory will forever live on in the laughter he inspired and the love he gave so freely.
