John C. Cantella

1964 - 2021

John Christopher "Chris" Cantella, 57, of Greensburg, passed away Friday, Nov. 26, 2021, in his parents' home after a tough battle with cancer. He was born Aug. 10, 1964, in Greensburg. Chris had been employed by ARCO Enterprise, where he had a supportive and caring crew of co-workers. Chris had a lifelong love for dirt bikes, motocross racing, Mopars, hockey and Harleys. He was a very talented and detailed motorcycle artist, able to do custom paint jobs. Just last year he fearlessly re-entered motocross racing after a 31-year hiatus and was able to grasp a first place win! He will be sadly missed by his loving family including both of his parents, Jack R. and Barbara E. Cantella; his three sisters, Debbie L. Frye and husband, Bob, Amy M. Cantella and Heidi A. Noel and husband, Bob, all of Greensburg; and five nieces and nephews, Sara, Melissa, Jon, Jacob and Alexis. A private family visitation and funeral liturgy were held at the LEO M. BACHA FUNERAL HOME INC., 516 Stanton St., Greensburg. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Chris' friends and co-workers who reached out to him during his illness and offered help and prayers.
