Timothy "Tim" Piglia Jr., 32, passed away unexpectedly on March 28, 2019 in India. He was born in Metairie, Louisiana to Gaiana (White) and Timothy Piglia Sr. on February 8, 1987. Tim was a much-loved husband, son, brother, and friend. He graduated from Grace King High School in 2006 and entered the United States Navy in 2007 for a 5-year term of service. Tim was stationed on the USS Rushmore and received numerous awards and medals for his service to the country. After leaving the service, Tim attended the University of New Orleans and graduated Cum Laude in 2016 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Performance and Health Promotion. It was after graduation that Tim joined Freedom Trade International as an intern and met his future wife, Hannah. The two were fatefully married on December 31, 2018 in Alabama. Tim was known for his humility, generosity, and servant’s heart. Tim had passion in his faith, for fitness and sports, but nothing brought him more joy than helping his family, friends, or even strangers who were in need of a hand. He was known for his positive outlook on life, his kind and compassionate sprit, and his infectious smile. Tim was a member of Restoration Church in Metairie. His magnetic personality and passion for life remain as his legacy and while he will be sorely missed, he will never be forgotten. Tim is survived by his loving wife Hannah Piglia; his parents Gaiana and Timothy Sr.; his siblings Addison Piglia, Garrett Piglia (Chelsea), and Rebecca Piglia; his grandparents, Esther and Huey P. White Sr., and the late Audrey and William J. Piglia Sr., as well as his loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless friends.
