Former State Representative Jeff Pyle, 57, dies of Cancer

From 2005 to 2021, Rep. Jeff Pyle represented Pennsylvania’s 60th legislative district in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Pyle was an American politician and schoolteacher.

Jeff Pyle, a former state representative, passed away, but his legacy lives on at a Ford City community college.

After a protracted battle with cancer, former State Rep. Jeff Pyle, 57, passed away in Ford City on Wednesday. Pyle, a Ford City citizen, served as mayor, a teacher, and a Republican state legislator for nine terms. His two daughters and wife, Michele Pyle, are still alive.

Since 2005, Pyle has been battling cancer, but remissions from the illness allowed him to continue serving as a state legislator until last year when he resigned. One year before his retirement, he had a stroke.

A little over a year ago, Pyle spoke at the Butler County Community College’s Ford City groundbreaking. Pyle gathered support and raised many million dollars to expand the educational and employment options for locals.

Pyle formerly had an office with state speaker of the house Bryan Cutler, a Republican from Lancaster, who applauded his efforts in a statement.

“Every member who spent any amount of time with Jeff would be struck by his unwavering commitment to the trust given to him by the public, and his ability to lighten the mood and bring everyone together,” Cutler said.

To assist locals, state representative Joe Pittman, a Republican from Indiana, observed where Pyle got his fire in part. Pittman was acquainted with Pyle while he taught at Ford City High School, served as mayor, and later as a senator.
