Age 55, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, March 9, 2026.
He was the devoted husband of Lynn Pagliei and cherished father of Alyssa Pagliei. Timothy is also survived by his brothers, cousins and nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents, Albert and Jane Pagliei. A loving, caring man, he would do anything for others and was a friend to all. He was known for his keen eye for detail, immense pride in his work and in being the very best heavy equipment operator he could be. Tim was especially proud of winning a dog show in his youth - his pet goat by his side - an anecdote he loved sharing with everyone.
Friends will be received at the John F. Slater Funeral Home, Inc., 412-881-4100, 4201 Brownsville Road, Brentwood 15227 on Thursday, March 12, 2026 from 2-7 p.m. where a blessing service will be held in the funeral home Chapel on Friday at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, family suggests contributions to a charity of one's choice in Tim's memory.

Tim was a teenager when I knew him. I was his pastor back in the 1980s, and he was in the youth group at James Chapel United Methodist Church. We had a lot of great times together, along with his brothers, Al and Josh, and his mom and dad, Jane and Al. I regret that I can't be there today, but my prayers and love go out to Tim's family today, especially to Lynn and Alyssa. May God bless you with wonderful memories to cherish as you give Tim back to God today.
