Nick Firestone Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 1, 2025.
It is with heavy hearts and eternal love that we share the passing of Nick Firestone - a proud father, a hard worker, and a man whose quiet strength shaped the lives of those around him. Nick passed peacefully on March 12, 2025, just four days shy of his 81st birthday, surrounded by love, and on his own terms.

Born on March 16, 1944, Nick Firestone was cut from a rare cloth - a man who believed in toughness, discipline, and doing things the right way. He was a provider in every sense of the word - not just through hard work, but through presence, loyalty, and love.

Nick taught those around him the things that truly matter: to face challenges head-on, to never quit when life gets hard, and to take pride in every single thing you do. He led by example, not by words - but when he spoke, you listened.

He was a man of grit, resilience, and quiet generosity. The lessons he passed down will live on for generations - in work ethic, in perseverance, and in heart.

In his final days, while his body grew tired, Nick's spirit never did. True to his nature, he held on with strength and dignity until the very end. And when it was time, he left this world peacefully, free from pain, and entered into the hands of God.

Nick Firestone is survived by his loving family, including his wife of 50 years, 3 children, 2 grandchildren, and all those lucky enough to have called him a friend or mentor.

Dad - thank you for the life you gave, the lessons you taught, and the strength you instilled. I will carry your legacy forward and make you proud.

You were loved beyond words, and you are missed beyond measure.

Rest easy, Dad. You've earned it.
