Samuel F. Crisanti, of Pittsburgh, passed away peacefully on August 27, 2025, at the age of 76. He was born on December 28, 1948, to the late Eva and Samuel Crisanti.
Samuel was the beloved husband of Mary E. Crisanti for an amazing 55 years. Together, they built a beautiful life and family filled with love and cherished memories. He was the devoted father of Craig (Kris) Crisanti, Bill (Amy) Crisanti, and Lisa (Bob) Faust. He was also a proud and loving grandfather to Nicholas Crisanti and Jacob Crisanti. Samuel is survived by his dear brother, Salvatore (Kathy) Crisanti, his sister, Rosemary Mitchell, and his beloved nieces and nephews. His loyal and very smart fur baby, Daisy May, also held a special place in his heart.
Family was always at the center of Samuel's life. He treasured time spent with his wife, children, and grandchildren. In his quiet moments, he enjoyed relaxing while watching his favorite shows, The Honeymooners, King of Queens, and any movie featuring Clint Eastwood. He and Mary often enjoyed spontaneous day trips to local casinos, creating lasting memories together. Later in life, Samuel discovered a love for birdwatching from his back deck, a pastime that brought him peace and joy.
Samuel will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Service with full military honors will take place on Thursday, September 4, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. at The National Cemetery of the Alleghenies, 1158 Morgan Road, Bridgeville, PA 15017.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Pittsburgh Cremation & Funeral Care, McMurray, PA
