David John “DJ” Grecco J.D.

David John “DJ” Grecco J.D., 53 of Peters Township, formerly of Mt. Lebanon and Baldwin Boro. Beloved husband of Christy (Ross) Grecco. Devoted father to Dante E. Grecco (mother – Tamara (Rzepka) Grecco) passed away with grace in the arms of his wife and son after winning a four plus year battle with cancer. Born in the city of Pittsburgh that he loved, he was a miracle baby to his late parents Ernest S. and Carmela (Pizzuto) Grecco. Adoring brother to Patti  Bonagiano; predeceased by siblings Ernie, Jr., Barbara J. and Theresa M. Grecco. Loving brother-in-law to Peter Bonagiano, John and Becky Skrabski, Robb and Jennifer Ross and special son-in-law to Donald and Gail Ross. He will be remembered fondly for his courageous spirit and his big heart by his nieces and nephews Lauren and Andrew Ogburn, Erin Skrabski and fiancé Justin Smith and Matthew, Rachel and Brandon Ross.

David graduated from Baldwin High School in 1984, received his undergraduate degree from Robert Morris 1988. He entered the workforce as a CPA and then decided to pursue a career in law. He attained his Juris Doctorate from Duquesne University Law School 1997.

David had a successful career at prestigious accounting and law firms where he made many lifelong friends – Doug, Dean and David E. among others.

Cancer has a way of taking away so much, but David focused on the many blessings that evolved from such a grim diagnosis. During his battle, he enjoyed unexpected vacations, reconnecting with old friends, Maxwell Barkley, his “battle buddy dog,” visiting colleges with his son, attending Penguins, Pirates and Steelers games, a new bike, a boat ride on the 3 Rivers and the Justin Timberlake concert where he was the only man in the box. He also loved visiting neighbors, Anne, Stellani and Chris, or simply enjoying his home that he loved so much. He made the most of everyday because he knew that every day was a gift.
