Frank E. DeBlasio, 76, of White Oak, passed away on Wednesday, August 6, 2025. He was born March 18, 1949 in Greensburg and was the son of the late Frank and Agnes (Timmerman) DeBlasio. On January 5, 1970, Frank married his sweetheart Pat, who became his lifelong friend and closest companion. It was rare to see one without the other. He and Pat together were the DeBlasio Home Repairs team for over 30 years. Frank was a man of principal, well known for his strong work ethic. He was highly regarded within the community for his excellent work and for the many homes in the area that bear his touch. Frank was a well-loved member of The McKeesport Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses for over 50 years. Frank was among the first to be there when anyone was in need. He generously used his trucks, equipment and strength to lend a helping hand. He was a hard, hard worker, always happiest when he was working. He was a great husband, and all in his family were very dear to him. He will be greatly missed. He is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Patricia J. "Pat" (Moore) DeBlasio; sisters, Lena Cherry and Barb (Tom) Hillegass; and nieces and nephews. Friends are welcome on Sunday, August 10, 2025 from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the Gilbert Funeral Home and Crematory, Inc., 1638 Lincoln Way, White Oak (412) 672-6322 Troy J. Gilbert, Director.
