Obituary - Nicholas Charles Bisignano
Nicholas Charles Bisignano
Born March 19, 1994, to Charles and Kimberly Bisignano. Nick was a beloved father, son, brother, friend and much more to those fortunate enough to know him. He returned to his heavenly home on Thursday August 6, 2026.
Nick was a proud father to his son Riley. They enjoyed spending time together doing countless activities including surfboarding, jet skiing, fishing, bowling, and gaming. He was a Journeyman Millwright in the Local Union 1529. He had been in the Union for 14 years and was extremely proud of his work. When Nick wasn’t spending time with Riley or working, he enjoyed playing the banjo and having guitar sessions with his dad, concerts, and working on projects. He earned his Eagle Scout in 2012 and always enjoyed being outdoors.
Above all, Nick cherished his family. He will be deeply missed by those who loved him dearly.
Though his time with us was far too short, the memories Nick created will remain forever. His laughter, kindness, and love he gave so freely will continue to live on in everyone who knew him.
Nick is survived by his son Riley; father Charles and mother Kimberly; sisters Danielle and Samantha; and grandparents Robert and Sharon.
He is preceded in death by grandparents Carole and Charles, and uncle Shane.
Our hearts are immensely heavy with his loss; however, we know he is in Heaven with Jesus and we will see him again.
Psalm 32:18-19
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.”
A Memorial Service will be held at Dickey’s Funeral Home in Harrisonville, MO on Saturday August 15, 2026. Visitation will be at 10AM, service at 11AM, and burial to follow the service at Byler Cemetery.
