Obituary

Philip Robert Chiappetta, 46, of Beaver Falls, died unexpectedly on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at his home. 

Born on July 26, 1979, in Rochester, he was the son of Leonard L. and Christine M. (Gruber) Chiappetta. 

Philip was a graduate of the Community College of Beaver County with an associate’s degree in criminal justice and has been employed at the Beaver Falls Municipal Authority for close to 20 years. He was a self-made entrepreneur alongside his brother, Anthony.  He was our go-to guy who could fix anything and would lend a hand to anyone in need.  His joys were simple; nothing brought him more happiness than spending time with his family.  Philip had wanderlust in his soul and just returned from a 10-day motorcycle trip to one of his favorite places, Maine.  While he had no children of his own, he took his nieces and nephews on countless camping trips over the years, creating memories they will always remember.  Philip was an avid outdoorsman and loved hunting, fishing, and boating.  His talents were evident in all that he accomplished, and he loved to share them with those close to him.  Philip will be dearly missed by all who knew him.  He could befriend anyone, anytime and anywhere. 

In addition to his parents, he is survived by his siblings; Stephen Chiappetta, Joseph Chiappetta, Felicity (Jeremy) Miller, Renata (Jon) Lucci, Monica Chiappetta, and Anthony (Kierstin) Chiappetta; his cherished nieces and nephews, Isaac, Avery, Bella, Giules, Rocco, Chessa, Audri, Enzo, Sarina, and Gia; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. 

Friends will be received on Wednesday, August 27th from 2-4PM & 6-8PM in the GABAUER-LUTTON FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, INC., Chippewa Township, 117 Blackhawk Road, Beaver Falls. 

Departing prayers will be offered in the funeral home on Thursday, August 28th at 9:30AM followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10AM at St. Monica Church of St. Augustine Parish, 116 Thorndale Dr., Beaver Falls.
