Richard L. Zahrobsky II, 56, of Aleppo Township in Sewickley, passed away on December 29th, 2024 after a long courageous battle with cancer. He was born on February 2nd, 1968, the son of Richard L. and Joanne Zahrobsky. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his loving family and his beloved wife of nine years, Tamey Zahrobsky (Bliley), three children, Connor, Owen, and Cara, three stepchildren, Tara (husband Andrew) Corace and grandson Luke, Brianna Sucharski, and Zachery Sucharski (fiancée McKenna Kaup), sister Cindy Zahrobsky and numerous other family members and friends.
Richard graduated from Connellsville Senior High School. He obtained a degree in polymer science at the University of Pittsburgh where he was a proud Delta Tau Delta. He traveled extensively around the world during his employment with various technology companies. He finished his career as the Director of Sales and Marketing with Beaumont Tech.
Richard loved Sewickley’s small-town presence and served on the board of the Aleppo Water and Sewer Authority. In his free time, he enjoyed biking, triathlons, sailing, skiing, and riding motorcycles. He was a ski instructor at Seven Springs Ski Resort, a founding member of the Pitt Crew rowing team at the University of Pittsburgh, and a trumpet player in high school and the Molinaro Band. He will also be remembered for his pure joy in teasing his family with dad jokes – the worse the joke, the better for him! He loved vacationing, especially at the beach where he could put his feet in the sand, search for shells, and have pizza while watching the sunset.
Family and friends will be received on Monday, January 6th, 2025 from 2-4 p.m. & 6-8 p.m. at Huntsman Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Moon Township, 1522 Coraopolis Heights Road, where a funeral service will be held on Tuesday, January 7th, 2025 at 11 a.m.
