Jeffrey S. Honkus, 62, of McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, passed away on March 6, 2026.

Born November 9, 1963, in Pittsburgh, he was raised in Hopewell Township and was the son of Luana Honkus and the late Stanley Honkus.  Jeff was a graduate of Hopewell High School, class of 1981, and earned his pharmacy degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 1987.  He worked as a pharmacist for many years, a profession that reflected his desire to help others.

Jeff was hardworking, fun-loving, and generous man whose personality could fill a room.  He had a natural gift for connecting with people and was well known for creating nicknames for just about everyone he spent time with all through his life.

Jeff is survived by his mother, Luana Honkus; his siblings, Mark Honkus, Beth (Keith) Wamsley, and  Greg (Jen) Honkus; and his nephews and nieces, Stephen Honkus, Matthew Honkus, David Honkus, Kailin Wamsley, Grace Honkus, and Jackson Honkus. Jeff also shared 28 years with Jennifer Marcin.

Jeff will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Jeff was a long time family friend who graduated with my sister Chris Jones. Jennifer and Jeff spent time with our family at many Christmas parties. Halloween costume parties at their house in Robinson were the best. My wife and I went to many concerts and sports games with Jeff and Jenn. What a fun guy to be with, and truly an American patriot. We shall miss him greatly. David and Cheryl Jones.

My deepest condolences to Luana(The "Wig" according to Jeff) and the entire Honkus family as well as Jennifer. Having been a friend of Jeffs since Jr. High School we continued to keep in touch even though I moved from the area in 1985. Jeff always made time to see my family/I when we made our annual trip from Vermont to the Aliquippa area to visit relatives. It was a privilege and honor to have Jeff as a friend and he will be greatly missed. It was very sad to witness his health decline over the past several years but it gives solace knowing that his suffering is now over. Rest in Peace my good friend. Steve Dragosljvich("Hood"

Jennifer and Honkus Family, I am so sorry to hear Jeff passed away. Jennifer, I am sorry you lost your partner of 28 years. Jeff’s family, I am sorry you lost your son, brother, and uncle. Jeff also has many, many friends that were surprised and saddened to hear he passed away. Jeff and I didn’t hang out much when we were in high school, but when I ran into him when he was about to graduate from Pitt (’87) we started hanging out a lot more. I was there during his buffed-up days, mullet days, tattoo days. Harley motorcycle days, and unfortunately us getting old days. My favorite day was when he met and introduced me to Jennifer, the 3 of us had a lot of fun and laughs through the years. Before Jeff met Jennifer, we would take road trips (along with a couple of our cronies) to Ocean City Maryland and Virgina to visit his brothers and sister. Whenever we were on our way he would never stop so I could use the bathroom and said we were almost there just around the bend, but he never said what state the bend was in. I remember one road trip we went on I told him I had to go to the bathroom and he told me to lift the floor mat my feet were on. When I did there was a hole rusted through the floor of his car about the size of a baseball and I could see the road going by underneath us. These are just very few fun / happy memories I have of my dear friend. Rest in Peace Jeffrey. All my love, Chrissy (Jeff’s nick name for me) Chris Jones
