On Tuesday, December 2, 2025, Michele Antonio Kadreff, age 65, of Youngstown, OH, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer.
He was born on March 4, 1960, at Northside Hospital in Youngstown, OH, to Stanley and Llena (Marchesano) Kadreff. He graduated from Ursuline High School in 1978 and went on to build a dedicated career in construction and supply. Michele served as a supervisor of the paint line at Woods of America until the plant’s closure. He later worked at Youngstown Construction Supply, Builders Hardware, and, most recently, at Brock Construction.
Michele leaves behind his companion. Julia Braun and her son, John Braun; his best friend, Frank Vona; great-grandchildren Mia, Santino, and Frankie, along with their parents, Tara and Ron Moffo; and cousins Anita (John) Whiteley, their son Jay (Heather) Whiteley of Cleveland, OH, and their children.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Anna Maria (Kadreff) Frketich.
Michele will be remembered by those who knew him as a kind and generous soul who remained steadfast in his support for family and friends. His presence will be deeply missed by all whose lives he touched.
May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
