On Sunday, June 29, Mary lost her husband - the love of her life and father to their children. Nick was beloved by many, and to honor his family, we are raising money to support Mary and their children as they navigate this unthinkable tragedy.

Nicholas was an incredibly loving and supportive husband and father. He devoted himself completely to Mary and their children, always doing everything in his power to bring them joy, comfort, and security. His love and pride for them shone through in everything he did. To his family, he was not only a provider and protector, he was their greatest cheerleader, their steady anchor, and their safe place.

Nicholas lived a life grounded in compassion. He majored in Biochemistry at Montana State University with the goal of pursuing research to make a difference. He constantly looked for ways to ease the burden of others, whether that meant paying for a stranger’s groceries, bringing food, water, or sunscreen to people experiencing homelessness, or simply offering a kind word and a warm smile. He volunteered his time, supported his friends and coworkers with unwavering kindness, and made each day brighter for everyone lucky enough to cross his path. He was a natural light in this world and he will be remembered as someone who made life better just by being around.

Nicholas was an incredibly talented guitarist and music lover. He found joy in nature, in the mountains, and on long hikes and family runs. He was an avid fitness enthusiast who always encouraged others to be their best selves.

Nicholas was a devoted husband, loving father, gifted friend, and generous human being. His loss is deeply felt, and he will be forever missed by all who knew and loved him.

Thank you for supporting Mary and her children during this heartbreaking time. Your love, prayers, and generosity mean the world.

With love,

Steph, Sonya, and her SSWB Girls ❤️
