Brian Sukitch Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 17, 2025.
Brian Douglas Sukitch, 57, passed away on January 13, 2025, in Orlando, Florida.

Born on June 4, 1967, and raised in the Spring Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Brian spent his early years surrounded by family and friends. He graduated from North Catholic High School and continued his education at Duquesne University. Brian dedicated over three decades of his professional life to UPS, where he rose to the position of Gateway Manager at their Pittsburgh International Airport facility before retiring.

Brian is lovingly remembered by his parents, Bill and Marion Sukitch; his brothers, Mike (Anita) Sukitch and Bill (Eileen) Sukitch; his two sons, Ken (Courtney) Sukitch and Bill (Brittney) Sukitch; and his cherished granddaughter, Christina Rose. His family will forever treasure the memories they shared with him.

Brian had a profound love for the water, sun, and sand. His passion for travel often led him to beaches across the United States and the Caribbean. Whether relaxing on land or enjoying a cruise, these trips brought him immense joy and created lasting memories.

Throughout his life, Brian faced significant health challenges with courage and resilience. A cancer survivor and liver transplant recipient, he inspired those around him with his strength. In honor of Brian's legacy, he and his family encourage others to consider becoming organ donors to help give others the same second chance that he was so grateful to receive.

In celebration of Brian's life, a gathering will be held this summer at one of his favorite beach locations on Hilton Head Island.

May Brian's memory bring comfort to all who knew him.

I was a Gamma Phi brother of "Sukitch" at Duquesne.... So many good memories with this man... He was hilarious and always a joy to hang out with... One of my favorite memories with him was a double date at Kennywood where we spent the whole day laughing non-stop!!!! Our gourmet dinner was Long John Silvers!!!! That memory still makes me smile!!!!!

I had limited contact with you a long time ago Brian when I worked with your brother William. You are a memory I will never forget and an honorable man. I'm sorry for your family's sorrow from your loss.

A great fraternity brother and friend.
"Suk" was my Gamma Phi big brother and boy, did he help me through some difficult times in college. Mentor and buddy, we had great times with The Gammas, acted in our college play together and shared more than a few laughs. It was nice to have a friend a few years older to advise and support me.

Brian was my manager at UPS for 5 years and he was a stand up guy to me who always helped me with any issues I had on the job or in my life. When I heard of his passing, it definitely took my breathe away. Prayers and love to his family!
