BRADLEY G. PIANSTKI

Aug. 16, 1979 - May 8, 2008
SOUTH BEND - Bradley Gene Pianstki, 28, passed away May 8th at 4:10 p.m. in Indiana University Medical Center, Indianapolis, from complications after surgery. Bradley was born August 16, 1979, in South Bend, to Gene and Linda Pianstki.

Brad was a graduate of Washington High School, attended Indiana University at South Bend, and was currently enrolled at Ivy Tech, South Bend. He was employed at The South Bend Tribune. Brad was a member of Holy Family Church.

Surviving are his devoted mother, Linda Pianstki; loving sister, Beth Gibson; brother-in-law, Doug; and nephew, Blake, all of South Bend. His beloved father, Gene, preceded him in death on September 21, 2001. He is also survived by his aunts, uncles and cousins who will miss him dearly.

Brad was a joyous person who certainly made the most of his short time with us. He enjoyed fishing with his grandfather, golfing with his father, and playing game after game of Euchre at family gatherings. More recently he found more happiness in his life as he took on the role of doting uncle to his precious nephew and Godchild, Blake.

Mayflower Road, South Bend, where a Rosary will be prayed at 4 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, May 13, in Holy Family Catholic Church. Burial will follow at St. Joseph Cemetery, South Bend. For those who are unable to attend the funeral liturgy, condolences for the family may be made at www.sjfh.net.
