Michael D. Lazzaro

Michael Dante Lazzaro, 46, of Greensburg, died, Thursday, May 7, 2026, surrounded by his family at home. He was born on February 16, 1980, the son of Dr. Theodore Anthony Lazzaro and Lynda A. DiVittorio Lazzaro.

Michael was a member of Our Lady of Grace Church and built a respected career as an attorney with Mears, Smith, Houser and Boyle, P.C.. He was also a former member of the Westmoreland Bar Association, where he was known for his dedication to both his profession and the people he served.

Outside of his career, Michael had a deep love for sports and the outdoors. A talented athlete in his younger years, he played soccer and carried that same passion and competitive spirit throughout his life. His greatest joy was being on the water as an avid fly fisherman, fishing some of the most beautiful streams in the world, and he rarely missed the chance to cheer on his favorite teams, especially the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Michael was also a proud Master Mason and member of Greensburg Lodge No. 225 Free and Accepted Masons, where he valued the friendships, traditions, and sense of brotherhood he found through the organization.

In addition to his parents, he is survived by his sisters, Briana Lazzaro and Gina Kriger (Roger); his niece, Gianna Kane and nephews, Ryan Kane, Kaden Kriger and Wyatt Kriger; his maternal aunts and uncle, Debra Conte (Greg), Nancy Parkinson (Charles), and Robert DiVittorio (Share); his partner, Maria Garcia; his second mother, Lisa Morelli; cousins, CJ, AJ, and Brady Parkinson, Olivia, Adriana and  Ava Conte; and step daughter Madison Williams.

He was preceded in death by his niece, Raegan Kriger.

Family and friends will be received from 3 pm to 7 pm on Monday, May 11, 2026, in Kepple-Graft Funeral Home, 524 North Main Street, Greensburg.
