Nicholas Mena died Monday, Aug. 5. He was 43.

Nicholas was a truly blessed man, but those who had the privilege of knowing him were even more blessed. His infectious laughter and unwavering ability to bring smiles to the faces of everyone around him made him the heart of every gathering.

He is survived by his daughter, Lexi Mena, son Spencer Tompsett, brother Manuel Torres and sister-in-law Brandy Torres, niece Mckaylya-Hope Vanbeek and her husband Austin Vanbeek, and his aunt and uncle, Rose and John Visscher.
