<p>Barry Dugita, age 58, of Edgewood, on February 20, 2026, after a 2-year battle with cancer.</p><p><br></p><p>Born and raised in Edgewood. Pre-deceased by his mom, Elsie, his dad, Paul and brother Paul. Also, his mother-in-law, Rose and father-in-law, Kell.</p><p><br></p><p>He is survived by his wife, Kimberly, who adored him. His 2 sons, Brendan and Aidan, who were his whole world. His sister and sparring partner, Elsie. His brothers, Allen (Julie) and Tom (Nikki) and his niece, Jessie. Also survived by his loving sister-in-law, Colleen. His niece, Kelly, who he thought of as a daughter and her fiancé, Alec. His nephew Ryan, who was his 3rd son.</p><p><br></p><p>Barry’s loves in life were Kim, Brendan and Aidan, but his mistress was golf. He used to joke that he worked to pay for golf. Taking trips all over the country and playing the best courses (thanks Don). His lifelong dream was to go to The Masters. Maybe now he will get there.</p><p><br></p><p>Barry, Kim, Brendan, Aidan, Colleen, Kelly, Ryan and Maw Maw would hit the road every May for their annual Walt Disney World trips. These trips were his fondest memories. People always ask why Disney World all the time and his favorite answer was, “Why not, the memories we make, and share will last a lifetime.”</p><p>The last 2 years were rough, but Barry always had a smile on his face and a silly comment. He made everyone around him smile.</p><p><br></p><p>The Dugita Family would like to thank Diane Karcz, Krystina Warwick, Joe Shaffo and Gallagher Home Health.

The Drs and nurses from the MICU on 5 west. They made Barry very comfortable. All these people gave Barry 2 more years that we didn’t think we would get.</p><p><br></p><p>The Central Catholic community…Barry said that 8 years ago was the best decision we ever made. You treated the boys like one of your own.</p><p><br></p><p>To his work family, Tricia and Dave, he truly loved what he did and loved his job. Thank you for giving him the freedom to keep working until the end.</p><p><br></p><p>In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Central Catholic High School 4720 Fifth Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15213</p><p><br></p><p>Friends received Tuesday from 6-8 p.m. and Wednesday 2-8 p.m. at the Thomas L.
