Steven P. Welcsh 1944-2025

He was born Feb. 10, 1944, in Youngstown and lived here all his life.

Steve will always be remembered for his love and dedication to God and his family.

He was a very active member of St. Maron Parish and the St. Tobias Society, and played in the church’s bocce league and bowling league in the past.

Steve worked as an ironworker and welder through Local 207. He retired from his career that he relished only to care for his grandchildren whom he adored.

Steve was a vibrant outdoorsman who enjoyed golfing, skiing, boating, fishing, hunting and gardening. He also loved winemaking and spending time at the casino.

He traveled extensively through Europe and the United States, as well as cruising the world over.

Steve was preceded in death by his parents, John and Edith Raduly Welcsh; his brother, Thomas Welcsh; his father- and mother-in-law, Charles and Josephine Thomas; two brothers-in-law, Simon Sarkis and John Acerra; and a sister-in-law, Barbara Acerra.

Steve leaves to cherish his memory, his wife of 60 years, Marian Thomas Welcsh, whom he married May 21, 1966; his daughter, Charlotte (Keith) Rogers of Canfield; his grandchildren, Andrew (Maggie Paris) Rogers and Sara Rogers; along with numerous sisters and brothers-in-law, as well as several nieces and nephews.

For all those lucky enough to know and be loved by him, he was considered our hero.

Family and friends may call 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025, at St. Maron Maronite Catholic Church, where a Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 11 a.m.
