William Rusiewicz Obituary

William George Rusiewicz Jr., 56, of Pittsburgh, passed away peacefully in Sarasota, FL, on Thursday, Aug. 14, 2025, after a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Born on March 5, 1969, in Pittsburgh, Bill was the son of William George Rusiewicz Sr. and Janice Margaret Beley. He proudly served in the U.S. Marine Corps and was a longtime member of the Teamsters Union. In his free time, Bill enjoyed hunting and fishing. Bill was preceded in death by his father, William George Rusiewicz Sr. He is survived by his loving wife, Jessica Dawn Demeo-Rusiewicz; his mother, Janice Doak; his bonus dad, Bill; his children, William George III (Alyssa) and Brian Matthew (Carolina); his granddaughter, Ellarie; his sister, Trisha Cavanaugh (Rick); and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. In keeping with his wishes, a private cremation has taken place. A celebration of his life will be announced at a later date. The family extends a heartfelt thank you to the many doctors, nurses, and caregivers who provided exceptional care and comfort during his illness. While those who are left behind will miss him, we find peace in knowing that he was greeted by the Lord at Heaven's gate.
