In Loving Memory of Nicholas Anthony BertucciFebruary 10, 1994 – March 31, 2025

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Nicholas Anthony Bertucci. Born on February 10, 1994, in Tacoma, Washington, Nicholas passed away on March 32, 2025, at the age of 31.

Nick was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend. He loved his family deeply and was fiercely loyal to those he held close. Always ready with a helping hand or a listening ear, Nick brought warmth, strength, and kindness to everyone around him. Nick also shared a deep and loving bond with his girlfriend, Ember. Their connection was filled with laughter, love, and unwavering support.

A true adventurer at heart, Nick had a deep passion for the outdoors. He found joy in hiking, kayaking, and exploring new places—nature was his playground, and he embraced its beauty with gratitude and awe. He was also a proud member of Cascade Grotto, a caving and spelunking club affiliated with the National Speleological Society. Through this community, Nick explored the underground world with the same curiosity and courage that defined his life above ground, building friendships and memories that he cherished deeply. 

Nick was an arborist by trade, and he truly loved his work. It allowed him to be outside, doing something he was passionate about every day. He made countless memories and lifelong friends through his job, and he took great pride in the work he did.

Music was another of Nick’s greatest loves. A self-taught guitarist with a natural gift, he found happiness in playing and singing—especially in the cherished moments he shared with his dad, Damon. One of his mom’s greatest joys was hearing Nick’s voice and the sound of his guitar echoing through the house. His music brought comfort and light to everyone who heard it, and that beautiful sound will be missed deeply. The melody of Nick’s guitar will forever echo in our hearts.

Nick touched the lives of all who knew him with his generous heart, kind spirit, and steadfast loyalty. His presence was a gift, and his absence leaves a space that can never be filled. He will be missed more than words can ever express.
