Paul Robert Matis, age 59, of Finleyville, passed away on January 1, 2026.

Born on June 23, 1966, Paul was the son of the late Cynthia Kuc and the grandson of the late Helen Antis.He grew up in Finleyville-aka"Yak City"-a place he was very proud to call home.

Paul was the beloved soul mate of 15 years to Amy Jo Chiocca. He was a loving brother to Christopher Kuc (Johanna Swank) and Tammy Kuc Huggins (Bill). He was the devoted companion of his cherished Pit Bull/Staffordshire dog, Capone, who meant the world to him. Paul is also survived by nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Paul was a proud member of Teamsters Local 250, having dedicated himself to the union since 1995. He was also a devoted security guard with Drusky Entertainment working primarily at Vinoski Winery, that he very much enjoyed.

A gathering of family and friends will be held on Saturday, January 17, 2026, from 12 pm until the time of service at 7 p.m. at Pittsburgh Cremation & Funeral Care, 3287 Washington Road, McMurray, PA 15317 (724-260-5546).

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Paul's name to Sable Kennel, 1681 5th Avenue, McKeesport, PA 15132, or to your favorite animal rescue. Sable Kennel held a special place in Paul's heart, as it is where he found his beloved Capone.
