Obituary

Livingston, Daniel Carson; 65, East Taylor, ended his physical journey on this life path and began his spiritual return back to the garden as Stardust on November 2, 2018. He passed in his wife’s arms with his beloved canine companion Riley by his side at their home. Preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Mary Livingston and brother Eric; he is survived by his wife, Kathleen (Kalina) Livingston, and his siblings; James Livingston married to Barbara; Charleene Livingston-Novic married to Doug; and many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Dan’s first love was music beginning at age 14. He was an extraordinary keyboard player and singer in numerous bands including, Kindred Spirit, Roscoe, Everwind, Down to the Wire, and Vice. He also played warm up for The Guess Who, Steppenwolf, Fog Hat and other big bands while under the management of Danny Kresky Enterprises in Pittsburgh. But Dan’s talents did not end with him being a great musician and entertainer.  He was a master mechanic, builder, and inventor. Dan was also passionate about sick children. He asked that his hair be donated to “Locks of Love” to help children who are dealing with the ravages of Cancer. At Dan’s request, there will be no viewing or funeral services.  Instead, a Memorial Service by family member Pastor Russ Peruso and an Outdoor Celebration of Life will be held at the Livingston Family Home on Memorial Day weekend, Saturday, May 30th, 2019.  As Dan was such a unique, at times bigger than life personality, the family is asking that all who had the experience of knowing him to please bring a ‘favorite Dan Livingston’ story, memory or quote to share at the Celebration. These memories will be compiled into a book entitled “The World According to Dan”. The family would like to thank Hospice nurses, specifically Sarah Stiffler, for their compassionate service.
