Bogdan Stepanovich Pisarskiy

Bogdan Stepanovich Pisarskiy, 35, passed away on Monday, November 18th at Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte, NC. He unexpectedly collapsed and suffered from cardiac arrest, although the doctors nor the tests could offer further clarification as to what caused the fall. Bogdan was born in Lutsk, Ukraine, on June 6, 1978, the son of Stepan and Zhanna Pisarskiy. When he moved to the United States with his family in 1995, Bogdan worked for America's Finest Woodworking Team in Lexington, KY as a carpenter. His talent and meticulous quality of work was second to none. In 1997, while on a family vacation in Niagara Falls, Bogdan was in a life altering car accident, which led to severe brain and body injuries, as well as the death of his second youngest sister, Olesya. Bogdan was in a coma for 45 days in the Intensive Care Unit at the University of Kentucky. Doctors had little hope for his recovery. By the mercy and grace of God, and the prayers of many believers in the States and abroad, Bogdan woke up from his coma and proceeded to live 16 additional years pursuing an associate degree from Central Piedmont Community College and being an active member of the local church. Those years were not easy, as Bogdan had many physical and mental health issues to deal with and recover from. Nonetheless, those precious years gave Bogdan the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of his life. We rejoice in knowing with full confidence that Bogdan no longer suffers from any pains or aches, that he can see better than ever, and that he is finally at home with the Lord, his sister, and grandparents in Heaven. In addition to his parents, Bogdan is survived by his sisters: Inna, Sophia, Yulia, and Gloria, his brothers: Eugene and Michael, nieces: Anastasia, Vanessa and Isabel, nephews: Timothy, Mark, Mark Jr., Ian, Daniel and Branson, his grandmother Olga Grinchak, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends around the world. Bogdan's generous and kind heart, his ability to connect with anyone anywhere, and his sense of humor will be terribly missed. Join us as we celebrate Bogdan’s life and the blessing that he was to us on Thursday, November 21st, at 7 p.m. at Cornerstone Baptist Church (8947 Albemarle Road, Charlotte, NC 28227). The funeral will be held on Friday, November 22nd at 11 o'clock AM (same location). Arrangements are in the care of Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home (4715 Margaret Wallace Road, Matthews, NC).
