Age 58, of Pittsburgh, PA, passed away on Tuesday, September 19, 2023.

He was born in Pittsburgh on March 16, 1965, to Ron and Carol Russitano, a superhero from day one. He was deeply enthusiastic about his life's many passions. Owner of Phantom of the Attic since 1986, Athletic Commissioner, builder of communities, and a true Pittsburgh Legend. Ron was a generous, warm, safe, loving, kind-hearted person to everyone he met - and a hilarious prankster. He never lost his excitement for the little things; he lived a full life.

Ron is survived by his children, Layla, Karly, and Vito; his grandchildren, Olivia, Ameliana, Sofia, and Zephyr; his parents, Ron and Carol; his sisters, Kim and Kristen; his nephews, Ryan, Sean, Brandon, Nolan, and Stefan; honorary brother, Jay; and all his friends, customers, and the other deeply meaningful relationships he's built throughout his years.
