Timothy Alan Ravotti

Timothy Alan Ravotti, 72 of Pittsburgh, formerly of New Kensington, passed away Thursday, November 27, 2025 at his home surrounded by his loving family. 

He was born on August 1, 1953 in Freeport, a son of the late Barbara J. (Anselmo) and Mario “Bugsy” Ravotti, Jr. 

Tim graduated from Freeport High School,  Class of 1971,  went onto Edinboro University from 1971-1975 receiving his bachelor’s degree in psychology, and received his MBA from Robert Morris University in 1981. He worked for Westinghouse for 37 years, where he was a guru SAP consultant. Tim was of Catholic faith. He was the heart of his family- steady, selfless, the original magic maker, and so full of unconditional love and support. He coached all his daughters in the Little League Association in New Kensington and attended all their tennis games, never missing a match. He enjoyed bowling, golfing, fishing, craft beers, listening to music, trips to Disney as the #1 Disney Dad, but above all, his favorite place to be was with his family. Tim was an avid Penn State football fan and worked hard to proudly put his three daughters through their years at Happy Valley, making as many visits as possible to cheer on the Nittany Lions and spend time with his girls. It was the joy of his life being grandpa (”Flaka”) to his four grandchildren and he loved sneaking them snacks and surprising them with all of their favorite things.  

He is survived by his loving wife of 44 years and best friend, Janice (Ray) Ravotti, who he married May 2, 1981,  and together they raised three daughters who adored him, Jessica and Jorge Rojas, Kristen and Kurt Knott and Corie Ravotti, his grandchildren, Elena and Leo Rojas and Kade and Chloe Knott, brother, Thomas Ravotti, nieces, Holli and Kylie Ravotti and many good friends and coworkers.  

We will honor him by living like him – his constant love, strength, kindness, humor, hard work, and joy in the everyday. He was the best husband, father, and grandfather and taught us to never miss an opportunity to say, “I love you.”  

A blessing service will be held on Sunday, November 30, 2025 at 4 pm with a visitation following from 5-7 pm at the Redmond Funeral Home, Inc., 524 High Street, Freeport. 

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Parkinson Foundation of Western Pennsylvania (PFWPA) 850 Cranberry Woods Dr., Suite 2222, Cranberry Township, PA 16066.
