Leo Edward Kwiecinski, 73, of North Huntingdon, PA passed away on Wednesday, March 26, 2025 in Forbes Hospital having fought a courageous battle with heart disease. He was born September 13, 1951 in McKeesport, PA, son of the late Sylvester Paul Kwiecinski and Rosina Marie (Schiavo) Kwiecinski. Leo was a loving and generous husband, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend to all. He was an avid life-long Steeler fan and never missed a game, always watching them live from his living room. He loved sports of all kinds, especially fishing and was happy to share equipment and techniques with kids who wanted to learn. The PA Lottery and casino slots were some of his favorite pastimes as well. Leo was proud of his 45 years as a machinist and journeyman tool and die maker and enjoyed teaching others his craft and staying current on the newest machines. Leo is survived by his loving wife and partner of 50 years, Mary Barbara Williams, sister Rose Ann Kwiecinski, brother Paul Joseph (Sandy Rymarchyk) Kwiecinski, many brothers-in-law and sisters-law, and many nieces and nephews as well as great-nieces and great-nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents, sister Annette Marie Kwiecinski Troll, niece Alexis Catherine Troll, and sister-in-law Janet Komara. Friends will be received at the James W. Shirley Funeral Home, 176 Clay Pike, on Monday, March 31 from 2-4 and 6-8 PM. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at St. Agnes Church on Tuesday, April 1 at 11AM
