My name is Danielle Nicholson, and my husband, Stephen, passed away on February 27, 2025, at only 48 years old, after a seven-month battle with pancreatic cancer. Stephen and I both felt blessed to have shared over five wonderful years together, having each found the love of our lives. Stephen leaves behind myself, his two children, four stepchildren, parents, two brothers, and a strong group of friends.

He will be cremated, and the family would love to hold a celebration of life for Stephen, who meant the world to all of us. His life was cut far too short, but while he lived, he demonstrated a profound love of family, art, and friendships, as well as a dedication to his work. He treated others with kindness, relaxed people with a sense of calmness and humor, and made everyone feel welcome. He will truly be missed by everyone that was blessed with the opportunity to know him.

We are fundraising to hold a celebration of life for Stephen and to provide support to the family in this difficult time. The celebration will be held in mid to late April, with more details being provided as they are available.
