John J. Loniero

John J. Loniero, age 67, of Hankey Farms, Oakdale, PA, passed peacefully at home on Saturday, September 27, 2025, surrounded by his beloved wife of 31 years, Barbara (Rodgers) Loniero, daughter Lia, and son, Nick (Kaylee).  John was born on January 6, 1958, in Pittsburgh, PA, son to the late Eugene and Joan (Walsh) Loniero.  He grew up in a close-knit family alongside his five siblings, Jim (Amanda) Loniero, Anita (Jim) Doncaster, Lisa Loniero, Maria Hastings, and Marc Loniero.  In addition to Barbara, Lia, Nick, Kaylee, and his siblings, John is survived by his nephews, Adam and Andrew Hastings, Grant and Maxwell Loniero, and Jesse Rodgers, and nieces, Vanessa Rodgers and Emma Doncaster.  Along with his parents, John is preceded in death by his father-in-law, William Rodgers, and brother-in-law, Robert Rodgers.

John worked for over 27 years at Comcast, where he met the love of his life, Barbara.  Outside of work, he enjoyed spending time with his family, including his mother-in-law, Clara Rodgers, brother-in-law, Bill Rodgers (Jan), and sisters-in-law, Bonnie Rodgers (Dean) and Peggy Rodgers.

John was a man of quiet strength, deep love and conviction, and unwavering dedication and loyalty to his family and friends whom he valued greatly.  He took pride in the life he built and in the people he shared it with.  Whether at work or at home, John lived with purpose and led by example.  Above all, his family was the pride and joy of his life. John was a devoted husband and loving father who lived in service to the well-being and happiness of his loved ones.

John fought his illness for more than 17 years with courage, dignity, and resilience until the very end, all while keeping his sense of humor that so many loved.  To his family, he was a rock - steadfast, protective, and full of heart. John leaves behind a legacy of love, loyalty, and a life rooted in family.

Barbara, Lia, and Nick would like to thank Herrick Compassionate Funeral Service, and especially John’s nurse, Karlee, and AHN Allegheny Health Network.
