Todd DiPerna Obituary

Todd F. DiPerna, 59, of North Huntingdon, passed away on Jan. 3, 2025. He was born on Aug. 21, 1965, in McKeesport, a son of Susan Sharp and the late Frank DiPerna. Todd was a member of St. Agnes Church and a graduate of Brashear High School in the class of 1983. Prior to his retirement, he was employed as a salesman at White Diamond. Todd was an all-around athlete, and he loved sports. He collected antiques and always looked forward to spending time at the local flea market. He enjoyed his morning coffee at Sheetz, and he was easily recognized by his beloved lime-green Dodge Ram pickup truck. Most of all, Todd was known as a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend. In addition to his mother, Todd is survived by his wife, Maria; his stepfather, Robert Sharp; his two stepchildren, Rebecca and Matteos; one brother, Kurt DiPerna (and his wife, Teri); his nephew, Cameron; his aunt, Elaine DiPerna; and his cousins from the Sollisi family. Friends and relatives will be received from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m., on Sunday, at the JAMES W. SHIRLEY FUNERAL HOME, 176 Clay Pike, North Huntingdon. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 10 a.m., on Monday, in St. Agnes Church. Interment will follow at a later date to be announced. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be given in Todd's name to the Kidney Foundation. www.shirleyfuneralhome.com

I am so very sorry to hear about Todd. My dad Joe Polovich, was friends with him and Troy. Todd was always nice to my sister and I. He even came to my wedding reception. He was sweet. So very sorry to hear this happened. He was too young to go. Families in our prayers and our hearts go out to you. We will miss hearing all his crazy stories with our dad!
