With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Nick Bartholomew, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Nick departed this world on December 3, 2024, leaving a void that can never be filled and a legacy of love, kindness, and generosity that will forever resonate in our lives.

Nick was a man who truly embraced life. His happiest moments were spent on his beloved boat, shrimping, oystering, and crabbing. The bayou was not just a place for him; it was a canvas for his adventures, a sanctuary that brought him joy, peace, and purpose. Here, he forged countless cherished memories, where the gentle rhythm of the waves accompanied his thoughts and dreams. The bayou nourished his spirit and filled his heart, providing a backdrop for the beautiful moments that defined his life. In every wave that lapped against his boat, he found solace and fulfillment, reminding us all of the simple joys that life has to offer.

Nick's selflessness knew no bounds. He was an honest man who believed in the goodness of others and was always ready to lend a helping hand or share a comforting word. He had a remarkable gift for making everyone feel valued and loved, often putting the needs of others before his own.

A devoted family man, Nick was a rock—steadfast, loving, and unwaveringly supportive husband to Sue. His love for her was a beautiful testament to the power of partnership. As a father, he was a guiding light, offering wisdom, encouragement, and laughter to Eraina, Mike, and Tony. And an adoring grandfather who cherished his Trojan. He was a source of boundless joy, always ready with a story, a warm hug, or a gentle nudge of encouragement that filled her heart with love and laughter.

He was a God-fearing man. A devoted prayer warrior, Nick's faith was his foundation. He believed in the power of prayer and often served as a healer who touched the lives of many with his unwavering faith and compassion, offering not just words of comfort but also a listening ear and an open heart. His faith inspired all who knew him, reminding us of the importance of kindness and love.

Nick's zest for life extended beyond family and work; he loved cruising with friends and his wife, creating unforgettable memories. He was also known for his love of dance. Often taking to the floor with enthusiasm, inviting everyone to join him in celebration. With his infectious smile and warm spirit, he danced with every woman in the room, spreading happiness and leaving a trail of laughter behind him.

Nick Bartholomew's spirit will forever live on in the hearts of those he touched. He was a beacon of love, laughter, and friendship, and his absence will be felt deeply by all who knew him. His infectious joy will forever remain in our hearts.
