Mark E. Smida, Jr.'s Obituary
Mark Edward Smida, Jr., 33, of Brownsville, formerly of Monongahela, died unexpectedly Friday, July 21, 2017 in his home. He was born December 26, 1983 in Monongahela, the son of Mark E. Smida of Monessen and Linda Rach Smida of Monongahela.
Mark was a 2002 graduate of Ringgold High School. After high school, he attended WyoTech in Blairsville, where he earned a degree in automotive technology. He then ventured to broaden his schooling and enrolled in WCCC where he became certified as a radiology technician. Currently, he was employed at the Monongahela Valley Hospital as a technician in the Radiology Department.
Mark and a group of his friends, formed a car club called "Evil". They entered their cars in competitions, went to car shows and sponsored events. He had a passion for working on and restoring cars. His pride and joy was his lowrider, a 1984 Ford Crown Victoria which he inherited from his pap Smida. He showed it at car shows and even used it in his wedding! Mark also enjoyed fishing, boating, jet skiing, taking road trips on his motorcycle and BMXing.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his wife, Angela DiBasilio Smida whom he married on October 26, 2013; two sisters, Rachel Smida Bock and husband Charles of Pittsburgh, Lisa Smida and Chelsea Angelo of West Newton; brother, Jeremy Smida of Monongahela; four nieces, Scarlet, Claire and Amelia Bock, Sophia Angelo; father and mother-in-law, David and Dianne Cole DiBasilio of Monongahela; grandmother-in-law, Marge Cole of New Eagle; numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins; and his faithful feline companions, MJ and Latoya.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Ryan Matthew "Merm" Smida, who went to be with the Lord on April 16, 2017; maternal grandparents, Herbert "Joel" and Marlene Rinehart Rach; and paternal grandparents, Michael and Margaret Rosemeier Smida.
Friends will be received on Tuesday, July 25, 2017 from 2-8 PM in the Frye Funeral Home, Inc., 427 West Main Street, Monongahela, where services will be held on Wednesday, July 26, 2017 at 11:00 AM with the Rev.
