SIGLEY RONALD W. Age 54, of Saint Petersburg, FL, died on April 5, 2016, at home. Lil' Sig as he was often referred to, was preceded in death by his mother, Ronice L. Sigley and his father, Donald W. Sigley. He is survived by his older brother, Donald J. Sigley and his sister-in-law, Kimberly Sigley; a nephew, Donald B. Sigley; a niece, Rachel L. Sigley; and stepmother, Constance Sigley. All reside in Saint Petersburg. He is also survived by an older sister, Renee D. Sigley; along with several aunts, uncles, and cousins from the Pittsburgh area. Ron was born and raised in Munhall, PA where he attended Saint Therese Catholic School. Ron excelled at every sport in his youth. He played for Munhall Baseball in the Little, Pony and Colt Leagues. He graduated from Steel Valley High School in Munhall in 1979 where he starred in baseball and football. In the early to mid 80s, Ron worked for Katilius Furniture in Homestead and an auto parts store in McKeesport, PA. He also worked as a deckhand for the Ohio Barge Line out of Dravosburg, plying the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans and back to Pittsburgh. Ron moved to Saint Petersburg in 1988 to be closer to his father and brother and worked at Pier 1 Imports on 4th Street. Ron was a restless and rambling man. In 1990, he set out on his own as a traveling salesman across America. Ron often remarked that during his travels, he saw all of the wonder and grandeur of every one of the lower 48 states. His favorite places were on the west coast in Washington, Oregon and California. He made people smile wherever he went. Through it all, he never missed a game when his beloved Pittsburg Steelers were on. Declining health combined with the wear of constant motel rooms forced Ron to settle down. He returned to Saint Petersburg in 2013 until his condition gradually worsened and he passed away. He is reunited with his loving parents, released from his pain and affliction.
