John Andrew Nein

John Andrew Nein went to be with Jesus on July 29, 2024 after a valiant fight back from non ischemic heart failure. He is survived by his wife Darcie (nee Condon) Nein; daughter Salem Charlotte; parents Donald and Connie Nein; brother Jason Nein; sister Angela (Rich) Ferrero as well as many caring nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins on his and his wife's side.

John was born in Peoria, IL on August 25, 1977 to Donald and Connie (nee Lotzgesell) Nein and was to that date, the cutest baby anyone had ever seen with beautiful brown eyes and dark hair. John grew up to be a baptized believer and has had Christ as the center of his life since. John was fun loving, playful, sensitive, tenderhearted, intelligent, and above all so very kind.

John graduated from Illinois State University and then subsequently Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing in Peoria. He selflessly dedicated himself to his patients, taking care to treat them with the utmost dignity. John worked for ten years at Saint Francis Hospital in Peoria. In 2018 John met Darcie and life changed for both of them. John and Darcie were married in 2019 and John moved to the suburbs of Chicago where he took a position as an ICU nurse at West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park. John sacrificed so much of himself caring for others during the covid epidemic.

On June 6, 2023 John and Darcie's miracle daughter Salem Charlotte was born. John was the first human to hold her and tearfully bonded with her instantly. He was the best dad ever. John and Salem were two peas in a pod and enjoyed blowing raspberries and intensely pointing at each other.

There will never be one moment when John will not be missed, prayed for and loved. God, give everyone the strength to withstand the loss of this wonderful man who left us many years too soon.

Funeral service was held August 4, at the Beidelman-Kunsch Funeral Homes & Crematory, in Naperville, IL. John was buried at Mount Carmel Cemetery in Hillside, IL. the following day.
