John E. Batya

"Johnny"

"Rooster" "Nightcrawler"

Age 61, of Uniontown, passed away on January 3, 2022.  Beloved son of the late Aloysious and Norma Batya; loving brother of Barbara (the late Chris) Christopher, Al (Kim Brennan) Batya, Mikey Batya and Danny (Anna) Batya, with whom he resided and help raise his nephews, Joshua, Patrick, Danny, Jr. and Zachary; brother-in-law of Carey Metcalf; best-bud of Joe Kaylor.  He was preceded in death by his sister, Mary Metcalf.  He was the best uncle to many nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews and a friend to many.  Johnny had a huge heart and would do anything for anyone without hesitation.  He loved his family and friends with a passion.  He enjoyed hanging out with his family and friends, card games (especially 500), Yahtzee, monopoly, cheering on the Steelers and cold beer.  You could often find him sitting on the steps of his home on Route 51 watching traffic and relaxing.  Johnny was one-of-a-kind and taken from us far too soon.  He will be missed immensely by everyone that loved him.  Friends will be received on Thursday from 4-8 pm at DeGusipe Funeral Home, 65 N. Gallatin Ave, Uniontown.  Mass of Christian Burial will be offered on Friday, 10 AM, at St. Mary (Nativity) Church in Uniontown.  Burial will follow the mass.  The family requests that visitors wear a mask or facial covering during the viewing and funeral mass.  Funeral arrangements were handled by his nephew, Patrick Upole with Paul Henney Cremation & Funeral Tributes, Bethel Park in conjunction with DeGuspie Funeral Home.
