Family And Friends Remember A Man Who Died After Falling Off An Escalator At Acrisure Stadium

PITTSBURGH — There’s one word that springs to mind when you mention Dalton Keane’s name, and that’s loved.

“It’s hard to find people with a good heart,” said Jimmy Harding of Steamfitters Local 449.

This 27-year-old father dedicated his life to his two-year-old daughter and his job as a welder at McCarl’s.

“We are shocked and saddened to learn of Dalton’s accident on Sunday. He joined McCarl’s in 2014 and has been well received by our staff. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family,” said Ken Burk, CEO of McCarl’s LLC.

“That’s a loss…that — you don’t replace kids with that kind of talent every day,” Harding said.

On Sunday, Keane went to a Steelers game with his fellow Steamfitters, who can’t believe he’s gone now.

“What I remember most about Dalton is that he was always in a good mood, he was always a happy kid, and he enjoyed what he was doing and going to work,” Harding said.

At that game, Pittsburgh police said he fell off an escalator and later died in a hospital. As for exactly what happened, the Steelers said they will not release any further details until the internal investigation is complete.

“This is not just a loss for the Steamfitters community, but for the community in general,” Harding said.

The family hopes everyone who saw what happened will come forward to help them provide answers and want the public to know that Keane was a wonderful son and husband.
