Jim, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, veteran and friend, passed away on September 1, 2025, at the age of 77.
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, Jim’s heart was always full of love for his family and friends. A proud veteran of the United States Army, he served his country with honor.

Of all his roles, “Pappy”, was the one he treasured most. His grandchildren were the light of his life, and he cherished every moment spent with them. He never missed a chance to attend a game, performance, or special moment.
His memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved him.
Friends will be received on Wednesday 4-8PM and Thursday 2-8PM at DEVLIN FUNERAL HOME, 806 Perry Hwy., Pgh, PA 15229. Funeral Services will be on Friday 11AM at North Hills Church of Christ, 797 Thompson Run Rd., Pgh, PA 15237. Everyone please meet at church.

It is so sad to think about this world without Jim in it. He means so much to so many people- his family, his friends and his former bank colleagues. I always looked forward to seeing Jim at family parties and catching up on all of the positive things he had going on that always involved Debbie, his kids, and his beautiful grandkids. I hope that his legacy and love he always shared will bring us all comfort over time.

I have so many positive memories of Mr. Steigerwald! Most of them from a ballfield through the years.

I wish you all smiles and happiness to accompany your memories.
