DAVID BESONG Obituary
Age 65, of McKees Rocks, gave so much of himself to others until there was no more to give. Dado lost his battle with cancer on February 25, 2019 and has joined his mother and loved ones in heaven. He is now free of pain and driving his Corvette on country roads. He was born October 1, 1953 in Sewickley, PA to the late William E. and Viola (Sharf) Besong. He was one of ten children, attended Quaker Valley Schools and resided in McKees Rocks. He was a salvage yard operator for Trapp and Webb Salvage Yard, McKees Rocks. Dado is survived by his siblings, Kathy (Dennis) Swarmer of Beaver Falls, Beverly (James) Rupert of Emsworth, Janet (Jack) Crain of New Kensington, Darla Besong of New Castle, William (Carolee) Besong of Ambridge, Gerald Besong of Fair Oaks, Hugh (Nancy) Besong of Ohioville, Jay (Lori) Besong of Fair Oaks, Steven Besong of Fair Oaks; numerous nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews; close friends, Debbie (Armond) Trapuzzano, Puff McCarthy, Paul Goerman, and Terry Soman. Friends will be received Wednesday and Thursday from 2 - 8 p.m., in the JOHN SYKA FUNERAL HOME, 833 Kennedy Drive, Ambridge where a funeral service will be held on Friday at 11 a.m. Interment will be private. The family would like to thank the staff Dr. Robert Schillo and his staff for their compassion and exceptional care extended to Dado. Online condolences can be made at www.sykafuneralhome.com.

I just was reading my emails after work this evening and seen this message of the anniversary of Dados passing.
Earlier I was passing Rudys in the rox and was daydreaming at the long lite of going in and having a pop and ordering a bottle of miller and leaving on the bar with no explanation.
I thought if she asked Id just say its for a friend.
I then thought maybe when its a year Ill do it if Im still here.
When I seen this email,I never thought its been a year already.
Im not one to read into things,...but
Miss you man,hung with you 40 years after meeting you while I worked at the corvette shop all the way to months of chemo we spent next to each other until they separated us kindergarten kids.
Be seeing you soon it looks like,Rudy

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one, Virginia. May 1 Thessalonians 4:14 bring you some comfort in knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death. They are very precious in Gods eyes. May the God of all comfort strengthen your family during this time of deep sorrow.

Dado was a regular at Rockys where I bartend. And i also live right across from him.He was a good guy. Many memories if him. He would play a ton of numbers on the lottery machine and would never get mad if I got them wrong and would tell me just give them to me and if I hit I'll split it with you lol. I've had so many talks with dado and if I needed to know anything going on around town I'd ask him cause sure enough he would know! There's a cold Miller highlife waiting for you up there dado! RIP!!!

Dado,be seeing you soon,messaged our friend dr. Schillo,he only got one of of us to put up with now.
I guess you won our final race to see who finished first,it's the first time I got to see your taillights.
Thinking about how long it's been since we met at the corvette shop,
When we first found out we were in the same business
To your family,who I only got to meet Jay from Diane's bar in south heights years ago, I offer my deepest condolences and if there is any thing I can do please call me
