Nathan Piernik Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Neely Funeral Home on Nov. 11, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Nathan Louis Piernik, age 38 of Shaler Township, sadly passed away due to a cardiac arrest on November 10, 2025.
Husband of Ashlyn Piernik.
Father of Abby and Oaklynn Piernik.
step-father of Kailee and Aiden.
Son of John and Deb Piernik.
Brother of Mark (Becky), Jennifer, Kristin Copeland (Jeff), Kala Morley (Jason), and Nicholas (Brittany).
Grandson of Bernice Pugliese Yeager.
Also survived by 15 nieces and nephews.
Nathan is preceded in death by his sister Emily, and grandparents Regis Yeager, Louis Pugliese and Hank and Joan Piernik.
Nathan was a proud Veteran of the U.S. Navy. He was stationed in Camp Bucca in Iraq. He loved and lived life to the fullest, he lit up a room when he entered. Many people have said that he was the life of the party. He could see someone having a bad day and somehow he could get them smiling and laughing. He was a hard worker and proud owner of an HVAC company. In his spare time he loved to remodel things. Nathan will be so very missed by all.
Visitation will be held on Saturday November 15th from 2PM until the time of the Funeral Service at 7PM at Neely Funeral Home, 2208 Mt. Royal Blvd. Glenshaw, PA 15116. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Nathan, please visit our floral store.

I remember you fiercely. You were a force to be reckoned with - a true friend. You supported our crew with your vibrant personality, lifting spirits when days felt long and difficult. You made us laugh, helped us smile, and reminded us what camaraderie truly meant.

My fondest memories of you are from our time aboard the USS Carl Vinson - doing things you probably shouldn´t have been doing, and shrugging it off with that effortless charm that made us all laugh. You were incredible. I hope you are at peace now, and that you know how deeply you are loved - by all of us here, and by God, who now wraps His arms around you.

Your fellow Sailors - those who shared so many good memories with you - reached out to let us know that you are with God now. Please know that you´ve always remained in our hearts over the years, even when our paths no longer crossed. Your extended Navy family has carried fond, loving memories of you all this time.

Loving wishes to your family.
Forever - From CVN 70

I served with Piernik onboard the USS Carl Vinson, I was one of his LPOs. Piernik was a great shipmate, he protected the ones he loved, he was one of the hardest workers on my team, and I could always count on him to take ownership of a situation and see it through to completion. He's the guy you would wanna be in a foxhole with. The world lost a great one. Farwell and Following seas my friend.
