Michael Chiodo Obituary

Michael Chiodo, 65, of Bennetts Valley Highway, Weedville, PA, died unexpectedly Thursday, October 10, 2024 at Penn Highlands DuBois.

A son of Rosanna (Scanish) Chiodo of Weedville and the late Lawrence Chiodo, he was born on February 20, 1959, in St. Marys, PA.

Along with his mother, Mike is survived by two brothers, David (Kim) Chiodo of St. Marys and Jeffrey (Jill) Chiodo of Weedville; and a niece and nephew, Jake and Keeley Chiodo.

Living all his life in Weedville, Mike was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church of Force. He graduated from St. Marys High School and received his bachelor's in secondary education from Penn State University. He worked as a social studies teacher for DuBois Area Middle School for 30 years, retiring in 2013. He was an avid hunter and fisherman and enjoyed trap shooting and playing softball. He was a member of the St. Marys Trap League and a member of the Bennetts Valley Rod & Gun Club of Penfield, where he had served many positions, including 20 years as president, and the past several years as Range Master. His enjoyment in volunteering with his community is evident by his many years volunteering for the Camp Mt. Run Youth Field Days, Bennetts Branch and Medix Run Stream Improvement Projects and many others. Mike was well known as a kind soul and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Public visitation will be held on Sunday, October 13, 2024 from 2–4 and 6–8 p.m. and also on Monday from 9–10 a.m. at the Ralph M. Geer Funeral Home of Penfield.

Had him in school nearly 30 years ago and just spoke with him at St Mary´s Walmart a few months ago. Such a nice person. And wow did he love the Minnesota Vikings. He had his Vikings hat on when I talked to him!

First of all my deepest condolences for the shocking news of Mikes passing. I just saw Mike at Clearfield Walmart last week, we had a long talk. He was a dedicated teacher and loved by many of his students and a truly great friend to all of the teachers. He and I shared a love for the outdoors and shared many talks about hunting and fishing. We retired together in 2013 and I thought highly of Mike, he was very trustworthy and dedicated to the teaching profession. The only thing we ever disagreed on was football, he was a Minnesota Vikings fan I rooted for Pittsburgh Steelers. I have only seen him a few times since we retired, but any time I went to Benezette I would think of him. The world has lost a good man and the Lord knows he has received someone very special I pray he rest in peace and that you find comfort in the memories you have of him.
