Support for Nick’s Family After Tragic Loss

Donation protected
On July 26th, our community lost a true hero. Nick, a dedicated volunteer firefighter, loving husband, and devoted father, tragically passed away in an accident while doing what he loved most, helping others.

Nick was on his way to fight a fire, answering the call as he had so many times before. While driving the fire truck, the vehicle left the road and rolled. Nick did not survive the crash.

Nick lived a life of service; not just to his community, but to his family. He was the kind of dad and husband who showed up, gave his all, and loved without limits. His presence was a steady, comforting light, full of heart, humor, and unwavering dedication.

Now, we have the chance to show up for the family he held so dear.

This GoFundMe has been created to support Nick’s wife Shannon and their children as they face the unimaginable. Funds raised will help cover funeral expenses, ease immediate financial burdens, and provide stability as they begin to navigate life without him.

While nothing can take away the pain of this loss, every donation is a reminder that they are not alone and that Nick’s legacy of love, bravery, and selflessness will never be forgotten.

Thank you for giving what you can, and for holding this family in your hearts.
