Thomas Andrew Minnick

Thomas Andrew Minnick, age 72, of Elizabeth, PA, formerly of Duquesne, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Sunday, May 3, 2026, at Jefferson Hospital. Born in McKeesport on September 19, 1953, he was the son of the late Frank and Mary (Daley) Minnick.

Tom retired from Precoat Metals after more than 30 years as a slitter operator, where he worked banding raw steel coils. He was a member of Sts. Joachim and Anne Parish – St. Michael Church in Elizabeth. A longtime bowler, he also enjoyed playing cards, listening to music, and spending time with family and friends. Over the years, he built and installed solar rooms, taking pride in working with his hands. He was a NASCAR and drag racing enthusiast and a devoted Steelers fan. He especially enjoyed trips to the beach and visiting family in Charleston, South Carolina.

Above all, Tom cherished his family. He loved his wife deeply and took great pride in the lives and accomplishments of his children and grandchildren. He was a proud “Pap Pap,” a title he wore with joy and love.
