We’d love for you to join us in honoring Nick. 💛

Dear friends and loved ones,

With heavy hearts, we want to share that Nick passed away peacefully early this morning, on September 6th.

While we are heartbroken, we are also deeply grateful that his fight is over. We take comfort in knowing that he is now fully at peace—restored in strength, spirit, and joy—held in the arms of our Heavenly Father. We picture him as the vibrant, strong man we will always remember, free from pain and fully whole.

Over the past two years, your love—through visits, prayers, texts, meals, and quiet presence—has carried our family in ways words can’t fully express. Thank you for being part of this journey, and for loving Nick and our family so well.

We’ll be sharing details soon about how we’ll celebrate Nick’s life, including both a funeral mass and a celebration of life. At Nick’s request, we ask that everyone who attends wear red, white, and blue in his honor—a reflection of both his love for our country and the bold, beautiful spirit he lived with every day.

For those who feel led to honor Nick’s memory, we ask that in lieu of flowers, you consider donating to one of the causes closest to his heart:

• Ray of Hope Foundation
  Their mission is to support patients with brain tumors and their families. Nick was deeply passionate about this organization.
  👉 Donate here

• SabesWings
  This organization helps provide financial assistance to patients with rare cancers across the U.S.—including our family during this journey.
  👉 Donate here

Both of these organizations directly supported our family, and we’re incredibly grateful. This is our opportunity to pay it forward and extend that same care to other families walking this difficult path.

Thank you for continuing to hold us close. Your support, your prayers, and your love mean more than we can ever say.

With love and gratitude,
KA

Dear friends,

 

First, I want to thank you all for the incredible love and support you’ve shown over the past two years. Your prayers, visits, check-ins, and unwavering care have meant everything to Nick and me. We are especially grateful for how you’ve surrounded our girls with love through every season of this journey.

 

As many of you know, Nick has fought this terrible disease with strength and courage. Last week, we received the heartbreaking news that his tumor is progressing, and he is now transitioning to hospice care.

 

We are taking things one day at a time and holding close the peace and presence we can find. While we may not be able to respond to every message or visit request, please know we feel your love. If you're feeling led to reach out, we trust those moments will unfold as they’re meant to.

 

For those who would like to connect with Nick, there are still several meaningful ways to do so:

 

- In-person visits (based on comfort and timing)

- Zoom or FaceTime calls

- A phone call or a simple text

- Even short notes of encouragement mean so much and continue to lift Nick’s spirits.

 

We’ll also be sending out a separate update soon with ways you can support our family—through gift cards, a meal train, or other thoughtful contributions. Every gesture of support helps lighten our load, and we are so grateful.

 

All updates about Nick’s health and journey moving forward will be shared via email, so please be on the lookout if you’d like to stay connected.

 

Thank you again for continuing to walk alongside us. Your love, prayers, and presence mean the world to Nick, me, and the girls.

 

With love,

KA
