DAVID MICHETTI
David Joseph Michetti, 75, of Bridgeville, PA passed away unexpectedly on April 6th, 2026 at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. He was preceded in death by his parents Joseph & Edna (DeLucia) Michetti of Wellsburg, WV and sister Josette Grace of Charleston, SC.
Born and raised in Wellsburg, WV, Dave loved his career as the Director of Laboratory and Ancillary Services at the now former Weirton Medical Center in Weirton, WV. It was at that job where he found his second family.
During his retirement, Dave loved to travel and was able to fulfill a lifelong dream of visiting the town of Giulianova, Italy, the birthplace of his grandparents.
To know Dave is to love Dave. He took great pride in being of Italian ancestry, a West Virginia University Alumnus (where he was a WVU football season ticket holder for over 40 years). Most of all, he was especially proud of his 3 daughters and exemplified the term “girl dad”.
Dave is survived by his 3 daughters: Amanda Johnson (Chris) of Orrville, OH; Samantha Sekanick (Garrett) of Bethel Park, PA; Vanessa Robertson (Mike) of Pleasant Hills, PA; a proud “PaPa D” to 5 grandchildren: Noah Truax, Elle Truax, Lydia Sekanick, Vivienne Robertson and Everett Robertson (expected May 2026); his beloved partner Taresa DiLascio; brother-in- law, nephews, niece and countless friends and extended family who will all miss him dearly.
Friends will be received on Thursday, April 16, 2026 from 5:00 pm until the time of the memorial service at 7:00 pm at Pittsburgh Cremation & Funeral Care, 3287 Washington Road, McMurray, PA 15317.
Dave’s family would like to provide special recognition to CORE for assisting with his organ donation.

In closing, Dave’s daughters would like to quote his most famous phrases – “Have a Winning Day” and “Let’s Go Mountaineers” We love you forever.
