It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Nicholas (Nick), a beloved son, brother, and friend, who left us on April 18, 2026 at the age of 37.
Nick was a man of deep patriotic passions with an old soul. To those who knew him, he was an encyclopedia on wheels-there wasn't a thing he didn't know about cars, especially his favorite, the Ford Mustang. He didn't just love cars; he captured their soul through his photography, finding the perfect angle and light to showcase his favorite machines.
His adventurous spirit was most at home in the Glamis dunes, where he found freedom in the sand. When he wasn't at the dunes or a car show, you could find him at the ballpark, cheering on his favorite baseball team.
At home, Nick had a huge heart for animals. He loved his dogs fiercely ( mostly Al) finding peace and companionship in their presence. Above all, he cherished his "found family"-the close-knit circle of friends he loved like brothers and sisters and grandparents. Justin, Lynette, Angel, Don, and Denise.
He is survived by his father, Mark, and step-mom, Lona; his mother, Cheryl, and step-dad, Jeff; his half-brother Chase and many Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. He will be deeply missed by his family, his friends, and all those whose lives he touched with his kindness and his passion for life.
A date to Celebrate Nick's life will be determined which will be announced on Nick's FB.
