Jeffrey Dugan

Jeff Dugan Age 68, a graduate of Churchill High School and resident of Highland Park, passed away on February 23, 2025. An artist at heart and an adventurer in spirit, he saw the world differently—more vividly, deeply, and beautifully. His appreciation of art, music, and nature was a passion and a way of life. Jeff's keen eye and senses allowed him to see what others often missed—the subtle play of colors in a sunset, the hidden harmony in a piece of music, and the intricate details of the natural world. A lifelong learner, Jeff would dive headfirst into new interests, reading and researching, and often mastering skills without formal training. He loved to share his knowledge, teaching his family and friends to appreciate the world from his unique perspective. Whether selecting the perfect album for a particular moment, jamming at Bluegrass night at the Starlite Lounge, or going to the Pittsburgh Blue Festival, many of Jeff's friendships were deeply rooted in a shared love of music. Buildings all around Pittsburgh are cooled, tinted, and protected by the work of his business, Pittsburgh Window Film. For 40 years, he built and led the company. A member of the Lawrenceville business community, he volunteered for many years with Art All Night and the Somali community. Jeff was an avid traveler and adventurer. He frequently combined camping, canoeing, fishing, hunting and hiking in his trips. He loved traveling and took every opportunity to explore a new destination. He leaves behind his beloved, Joyce Alper; children, Jessica (Jason), Jeffrey (Ewere), and Kelly; and grandchildren, Ikechukwu, Lily, Nkonyeasua, Khira, Ezekiel, and Ijeamaka. He is also survived by his brother, Scott, and his sisters, Becky and Vicki. Jeff's presence in the world was vibrant, unique, and unforgettable. His legacy lives on in the music, the landscapes, the colors, and shared moments that continue to enrich our lives. Visitation will be held on Saturday, March 8, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at D'Alessandro Funeral Home at 4522 Butler Street, Pittsburgh, PA, 15201. Remarks and remembrances will begin at 1 p.m., and all who wish to share a story or memory of Jeff are welcome. In place of flowers, the family encourages donations to Angels for Animals or Art All Night.
