Dennis Michaels, age 71, passed away peacefully on November 10, 2026. Born on December 11, 1954, to loving Ukrainian parents, he grew up locally and attended the Montour School District.

A proud graduate of the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy, he dedicated 40 years of his life to serving as a compassionate and trusted pharmacist across the Pittsburgh community. Over his four-decade career, he cared for countless individuals and families at community pharmacies in Lawrenceville and Bloomfield, as well as hospital settings at UPMC Presbyterian and the Hillman Cancer Center.

On April 13, 1978, he met the love of his life, Barbara. They were united in marriage in 1979 and built a life filled with deep devotion and mutual care until her passing in 2018.

Above all, he was a devoted father and grandfather who found his greatest happiness surrounding himself with family. He cherished traveling the world alongside his loved ones, exploring new places, and creating lasting memories.

He is survived by his loving companion, Janet Colville; his three children, Nicholas (Kathryn), Matt, and Megan; and his eight cherished grandchildren, Johnny, Bee, Jayla, Jackson, Arwen, Seren, Christian, and Roman. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Barbara.
