July 19, 1975 – March 18, 2015
It is with great sadness that we
announce the passing of Nick on
March 18th. He was a husband, father, brother,
son and friend, born and raised in Calgary. He
was a strong and dedicated man, who loved and
cherished his family and friends. He was passionate,
honest, energetic and most of all, full of life.
From a very young age, Nick had a passion for construction,
hunting, fishing, camping, and music.
His true passion was hosting outdoor gatherings
for family and friends that always involved the
biggest bonfires, his signature barbecue and plenty
of food. His hilarious, determined and loving
spirit brought laughter to everyone he knew, and
will live on in the hearts of his family and friends,
especially his wife, Michelle and their sons, Elijah
and Antonio, whom he adored very much.
Besides his beloved wife Michelle and their 2
sons, Nick leaves behind his loving parents Luigi
and Cristina Vaccaro; and siblings, Marilena (Dan)
Giercke; Franca (Johnny) Ryman; Jordan (Gabriella)
Vaccaro and nieces and nephews: Angelina
and Brendan Giercke; Adamo, Valentina, Catalina,
Amanda and Vanessa Ryman; Luca, Marcello and
Massimo Vaccaro; and numerous aunts, uncles
and cousins. Nick was predeceased by his grandparents
Nick and Maria Vaccaro and Nicola and
Assunta Massarelli.
Nick will be mostly remembered for his huge
heart and giving nature, and will be missed by all
who knew him.
A Celebration of Nick’s life will be held at North West Family Church (10307 Eamon Rd N.W., Calgary, Alberta ), on Friday March 27, 2015 at 10:30 AM. Visitation will take place at North West Family Church, prior to the service
