KANE — John M. Marconi, 51, of Pennsylvania Avenue passed away Sunday (July 6, 2025) at UPMC Kane as the result of a construction accident.

John was a self-employed building and remodeling contractor. He also was a well-known drummer and musician and played in several bands throughout the years.  He was an amateur archeologist with a great love of history, and loved riding his bike on the trails.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, John and Elizabeth Marconi; his maternal grandparents, Bruce and Carol Zook; two aunts, Anita Rietter and Patti Zook; and two uncles, Roger and Henry Marconi.

John would want everyone to help one another, to get out into nature, and to love and live fearlessly with an open mind and heart.
