**Pittsburgh Steelers Mourn Loss of Longtime Journalist and Team Contributor Dale Lolley**

**PITTSBURGH, PA** – The Pittsburgh Steelers community is in mourning following the death of Dale Lolley, a beloved journalist and key member of the team’s media platforms, who passed away Wednesday, September 17th, after a battle with cancer. He was 56.

Lolley, a Fryburg, Pennsylvania native, dedicated over three decades to covering the Pittsburgh Steelers. A Pitt-Johnstown graduate, he started his journalism career at The Derrick in Oil City before moving to The Observer-Reporter. His passion and dedication led him to DK Pittsburgh Sports before joining the Steelers organization in 2022 as a Contributing Writer/Editor.

During his time with the Steelers, Lolley became a fixture across their media channels. He wrote extensively about the team, provided radio analysis, created video content, and co-hosted the popular “SNR Drive with Dale & Matt” podcast. He covered everything from games and training camps to the NFL Combine and owners meetings, always viewing his work as a way to connect with the passionate Steelers Nation.

Prior to his time with the Steelers, Lolley was also a regular contributor to the Steelers Digest and a fill-in on the Steelers Radio Network.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Lolley was a devoted family man, deeply involved in youth baseball as a board member and coach with the Washington County Founder’s PONY League and with the Pony League World Series. He also possessed a love for music, especially Pearl Jam and George Harrison.

Lolley’s passion for storytelling and his commitment to Steelers fans will be deeply missed. He is survived by his wife, Amy, and their children, Noah, Tanner, and Madeline.

In his own words, Lolley once wrote of Steelers Nation, “It’s a worldwide phenomenon that only continues to grow with each passing day. We do it because of the passionate fanbase that is second to none.” His legacy as a storyteller for that passionate fanbase will endure.
