On January 28,1960, Nicolas was born to Nicolas Sr. and Christina in Pecos, Texas. Nicolas, a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and lasting memories. He spent most of his life in Green Field, New Mexico, where he formed lifelong friendships and built a family that was the center of his world. Throughout his life, Nicolas had two meaningful relationships that blessed him with seven children, all of whom he cherished deeply. His love only grew with the arrival of 23 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren, who affectionately knew him as a fun-loving, supportive presence always ready with a smile or a joke. Nick, as he was fondly called, had many passions that brought joy to both himself and those around him. He was an avid football fan, proudly rooting for both the Washington Commanders and the Green Bay Packers on game nights. He found peace in fishing, pride in gardening, and happiness in cooking out for family and friends. Music was always playing nearby, and he could often be found enjoying good times and laughter with those he loved. At one point, Nicolas lived with his daughter Marisol and his grandchildren, where he continued to share his love, laughter, and guidance as a proud and present grandfather. For a time, Nicolas also lived in Virginia with his sister Nancy and brother-in-law Dennis. He spent cherished time there with his nieces, nephew-in-laws, and great-nieces Astrid Kidd and Christina Listrani, creating meaningful memories and deepening his family connections. During his stay in Virginia, he made several close friends and became a valued employee at Walmart Supercenter. After returning to New Mexico, Nicolas continued working for Walmart and proudly reached his five-year mark, while living with his daughter-in-law Rebecca, Gabriel and granddaughter Aaliyah. He genuinely enjoyed meeting new people and was known for bringing a smile to customers and coworkers alike. Family meant everything to Nicolas. He especially enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, sharing stories, watching games, and creating joyful moments. Sitting around a fire with his cousins—Edna "Ninja" and Tondis—or laughing and joking with his sons-in-law—Juan “Flako” and Jason—was his idea of a perfect evening. No matter where he was, Nicolas brought with him warmth, humor, and a smile that made people feel welcome and loved. Nicolas will be remembered not only for the life he lived, but for the joy he gave so freely. He was a man who knew how to have a good time, how to love deeply, and how to make those around him feel special. He will be missed dearly by all who knew and loved him.
