Tony G. DiMatteo

Date of Death: January 2, 2021

Anthony G. DiMatteo of Center Township, known by all as Tony, was beloved by all who knew him. Tony was a loving son, a devoted husband, and father, and a loyal brother, uncle, and friend. After a short COVID-19 related illness, Tony has departed this earthly life on Saturday, January 2, 2021.

By trade, Tony was an experienced and talented kitchen designer, enjoying a long and successful career, most recently working for Cabinet World of Center Township and Cranberry Township.

He was always available to serve the community and lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He loved the Steelers and following the local sports teams. But, most of all, he loved following his son Sam’s lifelong baseball journey and career as well as watching and supporting his daughter, Sheena as she danced as a young girl and continues to enjoy a dance career to this day. Tony’s support and encouragement throughout the years were key in both of his children to follow their dreams.

Tony had the ability to make anyone feel loved and welcomed with his big smile, genuine warmth, always positive attitude, and his affinity for conversation and loving people.

Always happy and energetic, he loved his family and home life above all else. He found joy, satisfaction, and beauty in the simplicity of living. He was a devout Christian who enjoyed learning, sharing, and reading about his faith. He proudly served his church, St. Frances Cabrini Parish, as an usher for the congregation.

At the center of his life and most important to him, was his relationship and partnership with his college sweetheart and wife of 38 years, Julie. The two of them enjoyed many happy years experiencing life together, with lots of love and laughs.

He is already missed beyond measure.

Tony is survived by his wife, Julie (Regney) DiMatteo, his children, Sheena DiMatteo (Phil Provencio) of Astoria, NY and Sam DiMatteo of Palm Springs, CA, his parents, Salvatore and Adelina DiMatteo, his brothers and sisters, Rosa (Dennis) Majzlik of Monaca, Marisa (Sam) DiNardo of Aliquippa, Mina (Ron) Paul of Steubenville, OH and Mimmo DiMatteo of Aliquippa, his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Donald and Anita Regney, his brothers and sisters in law, Donald (Suzanne) Regney, and Rusty (Sherry)

Regney, and also, many beloved nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews on both sides.

A private family viewing was held on Wednesday, January 6, 2021 at Simpson Funeral & Cremation Services, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca, followed by a Blessing Service with Father Jean Luc officiating. Burial followed in St. John the Baptist Cemetery, Monaca.

The family would like to thank the many doctors and nurses in the critical care unit of Heritage Valley, Beaver for their nonstop care and compassion for Tony.

Dear Sam & Family - Hold on to your loving memories of your father & husband. Nothing can take that away from you. Sending you loving thoughts & our most sincere sympathy.

There are certain people in this world that were simply meant to being joy to others and that was Mr. DiMatteo. He was my coach a few different times as a kid and even though I was never topoing the charts or starting a lineup, he always made sure I knew what I could and did bring to the team.As a kid that was everything to me, he made sure I wouldn't give up or beat myself up. He knew how to motivate and encourage all of us. He was a man of immense thoughtfulness and kindness.He is and will always be truly missed.

I am so sorry for you loss. I can't imagine your heartache. Tony was such a kind person. I can only pray that God gives you his peace.

Dear Julie, I offer my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I cannot imagine your heartache given that you had received encouraging news right before Christmas. You have such a tight knit family, and many friends, so I hope that you can comfort each other through time. Tony had a unique personality that I appreciated greatly. Having known him, and you, since our Little Indian days, there are so many memories that I will always cherish. The next time that I am in town, I will pay my respects in person.
