Diane said Nick passed away peacefully in hospice Tuesday afternoon. He was just 42 years old.
Nick's life was defined by service, strength, and a deep compassion for others. As a member of the Milwaukee Fire Department, he earned the Medal of Valor for saving an infant from a fire.
His life took a dramatic turn when he was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2020.
Not only did Nick fight that vicious disease with bravery, but he also inspired others. He became a public voice for hope with his signature message of PMA: Positive Mental Attitude.
As Diane says, Nick never judged and never complained. He simply loved.
ABC7's thoughts are with Diane and her entire family.
