David M. Reuss

David Michael Reuss, 36, of Herminie, passed away at home on July 15, 2025. After one year in the hospital, he came home and peacefully fell asleep in his own bed. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Martha H. Reuss. He is survived by his parents, David S. and Christina Stairs Reuss; three brothers, Andrew and Sabria (Gasper), Thomas and Desiree (DeClaudio), and Michael and Melaina (Brown); the love of his life, Trista (Globosky) Weiss and Dr. Leonard Weiss; paternal grandfather George F. Reuss; and maternal grandparents, Victor and Dolores Stairs. He will also be missed by his favorite aunt, who was always there for him, Pamela (Stairs) Kuhn, and his favorite uncle, George D. Reuss, who would give him the world, along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He loved his nieces and nephews, Charlotte, August, Brooks, Eliana, Willow, and Harlow. His smile and humor would light up the room. His love for life was contagious despite some obstacles, but he overcame those. He loved his dogs, Shiloh, Vegas, Ruby, and Springs, and his three cats, especially Twinkles. He loved "Bro" night with Michael, selling and planting his flowers, gardening sunflowers, and caring for his beehives. He did many things throughout his life, like riding on a quad, family vacations to Myrtle Beach, parasailing, roller coasters, boat rides, WWE, NASCAR, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, having a Bud Light Lime with Dad, skiing, calling and texting on his phone, being the center of attention, hanging out with his brothers, all-night parties after high school dances, scavenger hunts with Trista, and being a best man and groomsman in weddings: Andrew, Thomas, Michael, and best man at Trista's wedding. You will be missed by so many, our son; you are our best friend. You are loved wholeheartedly and unconditionally. Now you can walk, run, talk, see your dogs, and, most importantly, live pain-free. We love you, buddy. Look down upon all of us, as we are going to need it. Your eternal light is not out but glowing brighter and stronger every day. This is not a goodbye, just until we meet again, my son and brother. In lieu of flowers, please donate to All But Furgotten Animal Shelter in David's memory. Friends will be received from 4 to 8 p.m. on Thursday and from 2 to 8 p.m. on Friday at JAMES W. SHIRLEY FUNERAL HOME, 176 Clay Pike, North Huntingdon. A funeral Mass will take place at noon on Saturday in St. Edward Parish in Herminie. Interment will follow in Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Irwin. www.shirleyfuneralhome.com
