Obituaries | The Tube City Almanac | June 11, 2025

Elmer E. Moon, age 70, of McKeesport, died June 9, 2025, at Riverside Health & Rehab Center. Born March 22, 1955, in McKeesport, he was the son of the late Joseph and Helen (Magee) Moon. Elmer's vibrant spirit will be missed by all who knew him.

Elmer had a passion for life that shone through in everything he did. He loved to play bingo, often accompanied by a refreshing cold Pepsi. His love for family was unparalleled; he looked forward to family gatherings and vacations with the Prest Family, creating lasting memories and smiling moments that will be held close to the heart. Elmer also had a special fondness for trips to Kennywood, where laughter and carefree fun filled the air. Each Halloween, he brought joy to others by passing out candy to the neighborhood kids, embodying the spirit of generosity and warmth.

He is survived by his adoptive Prest family, Pammy (Chuck) Graham, who cared for him; Chad Graham, Markki Graham, Valerie (John) Turkowski, Alyssa (Kendra) Turkowski; siblings, Dennis Moon, John Moon, Jesse Moon, and JoAnne Roney; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by Josie and Bill Prest and John Michael Turkowski; siblings, Alvin Moon, Ronald Moon, Clyde Moon, and Penny Kiefer. Pam and her family would like to thank Nurse Cathy and Aides Tammy and Andrea from Riverside, as well as Christopher and Deann from Community Life for all the compassion and care shown to Elmer.

Family and friends will be received at Willig Funeral Home & Crematory on Thursday, June 12, 2025, from 4 to 8 p.m. The funeral service will be held on Friday, June 13, 2025, at 10 a.m. in the funeral home chapel.
