Zagorski

Lee Thomas Zagorski, 72, of Butler, passed away Sunday afternoon, Sept. 6, 2026, at his home.

He was born in Pittsburgh on Nov. 4, 1953, son of the late Leo and Loretta Schramm Zagorski.

Lee was a devoted father, grandfather and a familiar light in his community. He lived a full life, spending many years working as a repairman for Ryan Homes until his retirement. He was the kind of man who knew how to fix things, work with his hands, and leave an impression on the people around him.

Lee was the proud father of six children, Kristie Kollinger (John), of Butler, the late Thomas Zagorski, Jared Zagorski, of New Castle, and Courtney Garcia (Lucas), Tyler Zagorski (Megan) and Paige Zagorski, all in North Carolina.

He was also a proud grandfather to Noah and Jake Kollinger; Max and Gavin Zagorski; Rylan, Merik and Zurie Zagorski; Callie, Ryker and Ronan Garcia; and Emma Zagorski.

He was the brother of Debbie Olson (Mike), in Florida.

While his passing leaves an emptiness that cannot be filled, his family finds comfort in knowing that Lee is finally reunited with his oldest son, Thomas Zagorski, who passed away in January 2021. After more than five years apart, father and son are together again.

Lee will be remembered for the life he lived, the family he raised, the work he took pride in and the impact he had on those fortunate enough to know him. His memory will continue to live on through his children, grandchildren, family, friends and community.

ZAGORSKI — Arrangements for Lee Thomas Zagorski, who died Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026, were private for family only at MCDONALD-AEBERLI FUNERAL HOME, 238 Crowe Ave., Mars.
