Obituary For Matthew A. Tranovich

March 15, 1988 - March 5, 2016

Tranovich, Matthew A. Age 27, passed away unexpectedly at home on Saturday, March 5, 2016, of Bethel Park.

Beloved son of Michael and Donna; cherished brother of Dr. Mike and Dr. Meaghan Tranovich; also survived by his grandmother, Frances Salsburey, special aunt Irene Katona and dozens of loving aunts, uncles and cousins. Matt graduated with high honors from Seton-La Salle High School, graduated from Penn State University with a B.S. in Science, and proudly attended Pitt Law School for one year. He loved the outdoors; he was an excellent downhill skier, a natural fisherman, and he was fascinated with astronomy. He loved playing sports and watching Penn State football, Steelers football, and March Madness. He loved shoes, watches, and movies. Music became his solace. He was known for his charm, intelligence, wit, attention to detail, and love of children. He will be sadly missed. A Mass of Christian Burial was held in St. Germaine Church. Condolences may be sent to JOHN F. SLATER FUNERAL HOME, 4201 Brownsville Rd., Pittsburgh, PA 15227. If desired, contributions may be sent to Seton-La Salle Catholic High School, 1000 McNeilly Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15234 or Auberle, 1101 Hartman St, McKeesport, PA 15132 .

    To the Family and Friends of Matthew: I'm very sorry for your loss This must be a very hard time for you all. Thatâ??s why we were writing this message to hopefully bring a little comfort. The inspired words of the apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 are encouraging: â??Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God. For just as the sufferings for the Christ abound in us, so the comfort we receive through the Christ also abounds. Now if we face trials, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are being comforted, it is for your comfort, which acts to help you to endure the same sufferings that we also suffer. And our hope for you is unwavering, knowing as we do that just as you share in the sufferings, so you will also share in the comfort.â?? This certainly is a trial for you. There will be a time in the near future when we will not experience the enemy death. Revelation 21:3, 4 tells us that God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. That too is a comfort and hope isnâ??t it? I hope and pray that these scriptures will be of encouragement. Take care. JJ
