William J. Horvath

William J. Horvath, 74, of Struthers, Ohio, passed away peacefully on September 24, 2026, at Mercy Health Boardman Campus.

William was born on October 5, 1951, in Youngstown, Ohio, son of the late Leonard W. and Esther C. (Herbolich) Horvath.

William worked for Youngstown Sheet & Tube for many years and later worked in the receiving department at Marc’s. He was a devoted Ohio State football fan and proudly supported the Buckeyes—just don’t dare say anything bad about them! He was also an avid NASCAR fan.

In his spare time, William enjoyed woodworking, gardening, and baking. He especially cherished his morning coffee with his friend and neighbor, Inge Schmidt, a daily tradition that brought him much joy and companionship.

William is survived by his siblings, Robert Horvath, Leslie (James) Visnic, and Edward (Sara) Horvath; his nieces and nephews, Robert Horvath, Adrienne Visnic and Nicholas Horvath; and his great nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Leonard W. and Esther C. Horvath, and his uncle, Larry Herbolich, sister-in-law, Kathy Horvath.

Calling hours will be held on Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Kirila Funeral Home, Inc., 258 Poland Ave., Struthers, Ohio. Funeral services will follow visitation at 12:00 p.m. at the funeral home.
