Jay Daniel Spratt, 63, passed away Friday, December 30, 2022, at Allegheny General Hospital.

Born January 20, 1959, in New Brighton, he is the son of the late James and Nora (Blackburn)

Spratt. He served countless families over his 30 plus year career as a caring funeral director at

his family’s funeral home.

In addition to his parents, Dan was preceded in death by a son, J. Dylan Spratt, 2016.

Survived by Richael Spratt and their children Zack (Leah) Spratt, Jacob (Amanda) Spratt. Also,

Patterson Twp., J. Timothy (Wendy) Spratt, Rochester Twp., and grandchildren, Rowan, Ryleigh,

Jay, Adrien, Leo, Koa and Makai. Also, a father figure to so many more.

Dan will be forever remembered by the community that he passionately served. He has

touched the lives of all in Beaver Valley at some of their worst times. He had a way of

comforting people through their grief and making all feel like family. Dan has always been a

man, that would give you the shirt off his back and was not able to say no. He was referred to as

Jay, Danny, JJ, Daddy J, and Pop. He was involved in the community planning events and holiday

parades. He remained an avid Steelers fan, his favorite holiday was always St. Patrick’s Day, and

was a shark on the pool table. Dan spent most of his free time with his mother, who many

would consider his best friend.

Friends will be received from 1pm until 8pm Tuesday, where a blessing service will be held Wednesday

at 10am, in J & J Spratt Funeral Home, 1612 Third Ave, New Brighton, with Fr. Howard Campbell

and Pastor Donald MacNeil officiating.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested monetary donations for a trust fund to provide for

his daughter, Gracie’s, future wishes. Contributions can be sent to JJ Spratt Funeral Home.
