Dear Friends and Community,

It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we are writing to let you know that we lost our brother, Nick, last week.

Nick built a career as a certified arborist, combining his incredible work ethic with his love for working outdoors. He eventually founded his own company, 585 Tree, where he became well known for his skill, determination, and the pride he took in his work. In 2016, Nick met Erin, and together they welcomed their beautiful daughter, Wendy, who became the center of his world.

Nick will be remembered for his generous heart and the way he could always be counted on when someone needed him. Whether he was lending a hand, sharing a story, or putting in a hard day's work with a chainsaw in hand, Nick left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him. His legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched and in the deep love he had for his family and friends.

Nick passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind his 6-year-old daughter, Wendy. We are asking for support for Wendy during this incredibly difficult time. Any funds raised will go directly to her to help provide stability, care, and future opportunities as she navigates life without her dad. Nick loved her deeply, and our hope is to surround her with the same love and support he would have given. Every contribution, no matter the size, means so much to her and our family. Thank you for keeping her in your thoughts.
