He attended Holy Name Catholic Grade School, Central Nine Career Center, Roncalli High School, and Ivy Technical College where he received several welding certificates and was the recipient of the National Leadership and Success award in 2019 from Ivy Tech.
He made an impression on everyone he met and made everybody laugh.
He was a cherished son, grandson, and good friend. He was loving, funny, outgoing, and generous to a fault and was an avid animal lover and history and science buff. Nicholas had great admiration and respect for the military and loved airplanes and playing video games. He had flight simulation software that allowed him to fly every fighter aircraft in the world and was considering joining the United States Air Force. His soul was called home too early.
