Nicholas Joseph Weinert

Age 69, of New Lenox, IL passed away unexpectedly on Friday, September 18, 2026. Nick was born in Great Lakes, IL to Irene (nee Polak) and the late Donald Weinert.

Beloved husband and best friend of Cheryl (nee Wernli) Weinert; loving father of Rebecca Oswald and Mark Weinert (partner Stacey Rokusek); cherished grandfather “Pops” of Grace (Michael Weeks) Oswald and Gwen Oswald; dear brother of Susan (late Mike) Spina, Linda (Bryan) Ellis, Karen (Ed) Lukaszka, and Julie (John) Schruefer; loved uncle, cousin, and friend of many.

Nick was a retired Master Code Professional working for many cities and towns throughout the area. He was a proud U.S. Navy Veteran who served on the USS Sam Rayburn SSBN 635 and the USS Nathaniel Greene SSBN 636. Nick was a member of the New Lenox VFW Post 9545. He enjoyed riding his Harley and was an avid woodworker. Nick could grow anything, and you could see that from the flowers and plants that landscaped his yard to his extensive vegetable garden. He enjoyed cooking, especially grilling, and had about every grill you could imagine. But mostly, Nick enjoyed spending time with family and friends and he will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

In lieu of flowers, memorials in Nick’s name to the New Lenox VFW Post 9545, would be appreciated.

The family will receive friends at Kurtz Memorial Chapel 102 E. Francis Rd, New Lenox, IL on Sunday, September 27, 2026, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Private interment will be held at a later date, with full military honors, at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery, Elwood, IL.
