Funeral services for longtime Pinellas County politician John Morroni have been scheduled for June 1.

From 9:00 am to 10:15 am, a viewing will be held at the David C. Gross Funeral Home in St. Petersburg, 6366 Central Ave, followed by an 11:00 am funeral mass at St. John Vianney Catholic Church in St. Pete Beach, 445 82nd Ave.

Morroni died Sunday evening at Suncoast Hospice in the company of his family and loved ones, ending his decade-long battle against a rare form of cancer. He was 63.

The veteran politician served in the Florida House in the 1990s and was elected to the Pinellas County Commission in 2000, serving as its chair in 2005, 2012 and 2015.

Last March, he announced he would not seek a fifth term on the Commission, ending a 25-year career in elective office. It’s unclear at this point when Governor Rick Scott will appoint someone to fill out the remaining portion of Morroni’s term.
