ronald  komorowski

Ronald Michael Komorowski of Follansbee, WV, departed this world on October 26, 2026, at WVU-Weirton Medical Center.

Born on June 14, 1943, in Steubenville, Ron was a son of Walter and Irene Sugajski Komorowski.

A graduate of Madonna High School, class of 1962, Ron dedicated over thirty-seven years to Weirton Steel Corporation, where he worked as a Boiler Operator. He served his country honorably in the United States Marine Corps, where his passion for service and staunch patriotism shone brightly. His love for the American flag was evident in everything he did, underscoring the respect he held for his country.

Ron was an avid outdoorsman, relishing every chance he had as a hunter and fisherman. For more than thirty years, his fishing adventures frequently took him to the idyllic shores of the Outer Banks, with many joyful hours spent casting his line in the fresh waters of Lake Erie. Ron’s keen interest in fishing extended to crafting his own fishing rods, a skill he took pride in nurturing.

Ron had a special bond with his grandson, Miles, whose regular calls brought immense joy to his life.

He was a supporter of local sports teams, displaying unwavering loyalty to the Steelers and Pirates, and cheering on the Mountaineers, even in the face of adversity.

A member of the Colliers Sportsman Club, Ron also took immense pride in his home and landscaping, making his lawn a benchmark in the neighborhood, inspiring all around him with his meticulous care.

He had a knack for imparting wisdom to his children, always just a FaceTime away to lend a helping hand with any project they embarked on.

In addition to his parents, Ron was preceded in death by his brother Wally Komorowski.

Ron leaves behind his beloved spouse, Patty Komorowski at home, whom he married on September 10, 1966, recently celebrating sixty years of marriage, sons Ronald Komorowski, Ryan (Kelly) Komorowski and Craig (Tracy) Komorowski, sister Theresa Gryskevich, sister-in-law April Komorowski and his little buddy and favorite grandson, Miles Komorowski.

Friends can visit Ron’s family on Monday November 2, from 4- 7 p.m. at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home, 3219 Main Street, Weirton.

Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, November 3, at 10:00 am at St. Anthony Catholic Church, 1017 Jefferson St., Follansbee, WV.

He will be laid to rest in St. Paul’s Cemetery, Weirton.

Military honors will be afforded by the American Legion Post 10 Honor Guard and the United States Marine Corps.

    Our condolences to the Komorowski family. Ron was a star performer where ever he was. I got to know Ron at the Weirton Steel Foster Wheeler Boiler House. Ron was a straight shooter. He made his point with clarity and conviction. Ron was well balanced in every respect – at work in the community and any other endeavor he was involved with. He always had the idea of doing everything correctly. God Bless Ron’s family at this difficult time. He will be missed.

  7. Holding you close in my thoughts and prayers.

  8. Holding the Komo’s in my prayers. I will personally miss Mr Komo deeply. I have so many memories of him growing up around the ball field and fishing trips. Growing up without a father he was there to give me advice on many things. Above all he was all about doing the right thing and always put his family first which I was lucky enough to experience first hand. Fly high Mr K, you’ll be missed.
