John R. Stermon, age 74, of Wexford and Gibsonia, died suddenly on November 27, 2025. Born in McKeesport, PA on August 18, 1951, son of the late Rubin Blane Stermon and Vernadean L. Lattimore.

John organized Harley Davidson trips with friends and enjoyed sharing his culinary talents, especially his limoncello recipe. He loved all sports, especially following the Steelers. John most of all loved being with family, especially when he was watching his beloved grandkids, Penelope & Paxton.

Friends received Wednesday 10-1 p.m. at Schellhaas Funeral Home, Ltd., 5864 Heckert Road, Bakerstown, where services will follow visitation at 1 p.m. Interment will follow in Holy Savior Cemetery.
