With heavy hearts, we share the unexpected passing of Nicholas E. Acord, Jr., a devoted husband, loving father, and proud United States Marine, on February 6, 2026. Nick was just 26 years old.

Nick dedicated his life to serving others—first through his commitment to our country as a Marine, and every day through his unwavering devotion to his family. He leaves behind his wife and two young children, whose lives have been forever changed by this sudden loss.

This fundraiser has been created to help ease the immediate financial burden on Nick’s family during this incredibly difficult time. Funds raised will go toward funeral and final expenses, as well as short-term family needs as his wife navigates the days ahead while caring for their children.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will help provide stability and support for Nick’s family and allow them the time and space to grieve without the added weight of financial stress. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is also deeply appreciated.

Thank you for honoring Nick’s life, service, and legacy by supporting the family he loved so deeply.
