Aldo A. Cedrone 1961-2025

Aldo was born Nov. 18, 1961, in Youngstown, to the late Antonio and Elizabeth Malizia Cedrone. He graduated from the Mahoning County School, which later became Leonard Kirtz School, in 1981.

A hardworking and kind-hearted man, Aldo worked at Farmer Casey’s Ranch in Coitsville and was a dedicated member of Christ Our Savior Parish-St. Nicholas Church in Struthers.

Aldo had a deep love for life and cherished the simple pleasures that made him happiest. He looked forward every year to visiting Kennywood amusement park, attending the Canfield Fair and celebrating the Struthers Annual Fourth of July Parade. Aldo also enjoyed attending local festivals, traveling with friends on bus trips and playing basketball. Aldo was on the Leonard Kirtz basketball team and his team won the state championship in 1981.

A true lover of fun, Aldo could always be counted on to show up for a “good party” and was an active member of a bowling league. Most of all, he loved riding his bike and spending time outdoors.

Aldo is survived by his sister, Diana M. (Clifton) Payne of Ellettsville, Indiana; two nephews, Jeremy L. (Jessica) Payne and Justin L. (Emily) Payne; a niece, Cherise D. (Evan) Snoddy; three great-nephews, Tyus Payne, Kyler Payne and Rylan Payne; two great-nieces, Vayda Payne and Vianna Payne; his best friend, Anthony Bozzo; and his resident manager, Tina Morell.

He was preceded in death by his parents; a nephew, Travis Payne; and his favorite aunt and good friend, Pearl Novotny.
