Nicholas J. Tripp, of Maplewood, MN, passed away on March 26th, 2025 at the age of 24 years old. He was born on December 6th, 2000, in Clinton, Iowa. He grew up in Maplewood, Minnesota, with his parents and four sisters.

Nick loved making music and playing games with friends on the computer. Nick had a big heart in that he always wanted to help feed the poor and help the less fortunate.

When Nick was little the girls would call him: My Nee Nee Nuu Nuu, my little poo poo, and little big eyes. With those big brown eyes we would say, “Nicky don’t give us those crazy eyes!”

The compassion and love that Nick had for every person he came in contact with was truly beautiful. He could make everybody laugh. Nick showed his big heart when he was spending time with his nieces, nephews, and all those that knew and loved him.

Nick, you had many odds stacked against you from the start and you tried so hard to overcome those life struggles.

We are so proud of your efforts.

We are thankful knowing you are at Peace and that you knew how much you were loved by your family and friends.

Nick is preceded in death by his grandparents, Rita and Ralph Gerads; grandfathers, Herb Arioso and Jim Tripp Sr, and aunt, Julie Tripp.

He is survived by his parents, Margret and Jim Tripp; sisters, Coral Haselbauer (Joe), Keela Brown (Patrick Cahalan), Daphne Bushilla (Alex), and Carrie Tripp; nieces and nephews, Cadence, Lincoln, Calian, Elora, Liana, Ledger, and Phoebe, as well as many loving relatives and friends.

Family and friends are invited to attend a Celebration of Life on April 11th, 2025 at Hope Glen Farm, 10276 E Point Douglas Rd S, Cottage Grove, MN, 55016, from 4PM-730PM.
