Nicholas was the 2nd born out his 8 siblings. He grew up listening to and impersonating Elvis Presley but also enjoyed participating in learning the martial arts and watching Western movies. He took on protective roles such as an Army ranger, serving bravely in Vietnam, a Sheriff Deputy and later a correction officer, bur mastered the ultimate role as a father. He was a great husband and my best friend, a man of few words, with a great sense of service to his fellow man. His family was the reason for him leaving. 

Nicholas is survived by his wife of 45 years, Ada Cuevas; his children, Cassandra Cuevas (Blake) and Orlando Cuevas (Melissa); his granddaughter, Faith Aaron Cuevas; his 7 siblings; his dog Petunia and cat Baby and a host of family and friends.

He is preceded in death by his oldest son, Nicholas Cuevas Jr.
