John Joseph Peirano Jr., born on December 5, 1959, passed away peacefully on September 21, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. A man of deep devotion to his loved ones, John lived his life with a zest for the things he enjoyed most, from sports to spending time with his family. A proud fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, John loved football and spent many Sundays cheering on his favorite team. His love for golf and bowling was matched only by his passion for NASCAR, where he faithfully followed legends like Dale Earnhardt and Rusty Wallace.

John’s talents extended to the kitchen, where he was known for cooking up his famous lasagna, mac and cheese, and his treasured peanut butter balls, especially during Christmas. He found joy in these simple moments, cooking for his family, watching TV, and being with the people he loved.
