John Higbee Obituary
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, John graduated from Penn State University in 1966 and embarked on a career at Arthur Anderson, where he served as audit partner for 20 years, including 16 years leading the firm's Pittsburgh office.
John was a lifetime Penn State fan and a longtime Pittsburgh Steelers season ticket holder.
Those who knew John will remember him for his patient, caring, and selfless nature. His loyalty and supportive spirit touched countless lives, and his hard work set an example for all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife, Linda Swanson Higbee; his sons Brandon (Kasia) Higbee and Justin (Jenny) Higbee; his daughter Marissa (Christopher) Fasano; and his grandchildren Addison, Bryce, Jack, and Evan. He was preceded in death by his mother Ruth Emmett Higbee, father John K. Higbee, and brother Donald Higbee.
