Mrs. Diachok & Mark-My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Andy holds a piece of my heart that travels with him in his new journey. I will miss him deeply and love him always. Love-Stacy
Vichnaya Pamyat. He served our country and was certainly a great man, a good son, and a loved family member.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of Andy’s family and loved ones. He will be missed dearly.
Mrs. Diachok and Mark, I am saddened to hear the news of Andy’s passing; you both are in my thoughts. Too many memories of the great times we had growing up playing football, D&D in the playroom, and all the other crazy things we used to come up with. I am sorry to say that I lost touch over the years, but I will always remember those times and the great friendship we all had. My heart goes out to you with love and support. -Ryan Lloyd
Senior Diachok was one of a kind. From my first days at Rivron, I could tell that he was the intense leader that we needed to prepare us for anything that came our way. There is no greater honor than to lead men into combat. He did this with success, and did it with his unique style. I am honored to have served with him, and will keep the lessons he taught me close to my heart.
Therese, Mark, Family and Friends, Andy was a person you could never forget once you met him. His positive energy and attitude was contagious to those around him. I have been truly honored to have been his friend. I could always count on Andy if I needed some help no matter what, as could so many more of his friends. His loss is tragic, but he will always be remembered for all the great and funny things he did and said. The world is a little emptier with him gone from it, but our hearts are full from the love and memories we have of him.
To the family and friends of Andrew. Andrew was a great man. I had the pleasure to have him work for me in Sugar Grove, WV. We have shared a lot of great memories. I knew from the time I met Andrew that he would be a great leader and a better man. God Bless the family and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. From one Chief to another another You are greatly missed.
Mark and Mrs. Diachok, I am so sorry to hear of Andy’s passing. He was way too young. Wish I’d known what he was up to over the years. It sounds like he was quite a remarkable young man. I only remember him as smiling and enjoying life. My deepest sympathy.
My family and I are so sorry for your loss. We pray that God will lift the sadness in your families hearts. We will miss him very much. He was a great man. He was a funny, generous, dedicated, happy, hard working, great neighbor and friend with a huge appetite! He was family to us. He would help you whenever you needed help. We will never forget him. We loved Andy. He will be missed by all.
I had the pleasure of meeting and working for Andy at NECC. He was more then just a supervisor he was a great leader, a mentor and a good friend. I will never forget the good times. You will be missed, Brother.
I met andy through Nicole. I met nicole years ago. The way Andy treated Nicole was better than any man could treat any woman. He truly lived her and you could see it from just the way he looked at her. But he showed how much he did love her. There were so many times I’d go over her house and him just wanting to do things for her hey Hun do you need this want this. Can I help you with that? What man does that on a regular everyday ? Andy was an amazing man and person. I’m so sorry for his family and for Nicole and her girls … She was actually really truly happy with Andy and he Gets taken away so fast and too soon. I just wanna say I love you Nicole ! And Andy thank you for putting a real smile on her face she was glowing ever since you walked into her life ! Hey while your up there can you hi 5 my good buddy zack for me. Rip Andy you will forever be missed and never forgotten.
I worked with Andy at NECC when he was a Chief and remember when he made Senior Chief. He was an upbeat, professional who’d always try to brighten your day. He was a great Chief (Senior) and an even greater person. I’ll miss you.
Chris and I were saddened to hear of Andy’s death.
I wish we could have been better friends. You actually had more positive impact on my life than you knew. As with my, sister wishing to have had a better relationship comes to late.
What fond memories we share of Andy while my husband was stationed in Sugar Grove WV. He always had a wonderful heart, a contagious smile and a great laugh.My husband kept in touch with him through the Expeditionary Warfare Community and was so happy to see him go through the ranks with such success and committment. We are so saddened to hear of his passing. Please know what an impact he had on so many, not just Sailors but their families as well. We are praying for all of you during this holiday season. Thanks for always having such a great smile Andy…you will be missed. Cyndi Treiber wife of MA1(EXW/AW/SW) Robert M Treiber USN
Sorry for the loss. When I met Diachok, he was an E-6 at the time, and I was the new E-3 checking in at MSRON 2 at Portsmouth. When I heard he made Chief, I knew he’d still stay true at heart. He’s a good man and I know his legacy will continue thru all the lives’ he’s touched. Godbless and Godspeed. -MA2 Fenn
I heard through some mutual friends/shipmates about Andy’s passing. I am very sorry to hear this. I was stationed with him at Sugar Grove, and I always remember him as not only one of the most up-beat, fun to be around guys but also as a great petty officer to with/serve under. What a terrible shock to hear the news. Andrew, you will be missed…by those who knew you and the Navy you leave behind.
Andy was a great friend. He showed me and taught me good things in this world and ultimately turned my life around. He was a good fisherman and i’ll never forget him.
Andrew was so very special to so many people. I love him with all my heart and always will. The love of Andrew’s life was his wife, Amanda. He missed her so much. It is comforting to me to know they are together again in that beautiful garden that I envision heaven to be. I think of him as having been redeployed to heaven where he is with Amanda, and they are blissfully happy fishing on crystal blue lakes beneath the sunniest skies. I love them both. Take care and catch the “big one”, Andy. I love you with all my heart, Mom, or as you would say, “Mama”. I miss you so much.
I know this is late,but I just found out today. I’m really sad to hear Andy has passed away. We hadn’t spoken in years, but he was a great person and very good to the people he loved. Andy’s quality that I most remember him most for was his loyalty.
We think of you often and miss you so much. I hear the kids talk about you at times when their in their bed room playing, it put a smile on my face. I see you beautiful teeth when you smiled, and that was a lot. I can see you doing push ups with the kids on your back, which they loved that. I smile remembering you out side trying to roller blade skate with the kids. I told you, you should have had knee an elbow pads on but you said you’d be alright. In the end your hands, knees an elbows were all bleeding and you just kept on trying to keep up skating with the kids. I smile when I think about the morning I went over to your house you said you were letting Nicole sleep in an you fed the kids breakfast, you asked the girls what they wanted. Cake said Kylee, noodles said Alayna. I told you that was not a good breakfast for the girls. You said oh but it is, noodles and cake have milk an eggs in them. That made me laugh and smile. I can see Kylee sitting on your lap in your boat, letting her think she was driving. With Brandon you would play TV games with him, have him do push up and sit ups with up. He still talks about you saving his life when out on your boat he fell over in the water, you jumped in so fast to get him. With Nicole you treated her like a princess, of course you had your ups and downs, every relationship does. I know you loved they very much as they did you. I am so great full to have had you in our life. You were a wonderful man that will always be remembered an in our hearts. Love you always, Beverly
I can’t believe it’s been a year already. There isn’t a day or hour that goes by that I don’t think about or talk about you. Everytime someone has a story to tell about something that had happened to them or something they did I always have 1 about you or us and my face lights up as I tell it. There are a lot of days I spend laughing when a movie comes on that we watched together (which is alot because we had every redbox movie that ever came out) the way we would look at eachother with our faces lit up laughing so hard until we had tears pouring out of our eyes or when we would make the kids put on a dance show because we both knew that they needed many many years of lessons haha but I also have my bad days where I catch myself dropping to my knees breaking down when a certain songs comes on the radio.. a song that you dedicated to me, sang to me, or just a song that reminds me of you, or when I watch a movie that reminds me about our life, our love story! The kids and I talk about you often, I always ask them what they remember about you and they always say “His smile, he always smiled so big, How much he loved you and treated you like a princess, he loved us like his own kids” I could go on and on about all the wonderful things they say, that everyone has to say about you! To think that in just 2 days we would have been married and finally have had our own family breaks my heart that it’s not going to happen now but I will always look back on our wonderful life we had and all the amazing memories you left my kids and I with with a smile. I will always love you Andrew Diachok… Always missed but never forgotten <3

The thing is, I’ve found a medallion, a recognition memory honor, “honoring the passing of “Macs Andy Diachok” at my workplace, Starbucks Coffee outlet in Singapore, outlet is located at Raffles Hospital. I’m sure whoever left this piece of memory, this is an important and valuable and he/she might be distraught in losing this. I’m trying my best to get a hold of the owner or someone who might have drop this. My name is Ronnizan, and I’m the store manager of the outlet. If anyone have any information pls do contact me at my Facebook, Ronnizan Katman. I’m apologize again if I had the wrong person, or the way I seek for information is not appropriate as I’m not sure where else I could seek help.
