Nicholas Francis Grimaldi

Nicholas Francis Grimaldi, 45, passed away peacefully at home, leaving behind a family who love him deeply and will never forget him. Born on May 2, 1980, in Yuma, Arizona, Nicholas brought humor and kindness into the lives of those around him.

Nicholas was a graduate of Boyertown Area Senior High School, Class of 1998. He spent much of his life in Pennsylvania, where he built lasting relationships and memories with family and friends who cherished him.

He is lovingly remembered by his mother, Carolann Grimaldi, his father, Arthur Paul Grimaldi Jr., and stepmother Joyce, grandmother Joan Grimaldi, his sister, Kristin Justavino and her partner Fred Culvyhouse, his brother, Andrew Grimaldi, and his stepsister, Amanda (Joel). He is also survived by his uncles and aunts on both sides of his family—on his maternal side, Uncle Frank (Kathleen), Eugene (Colleen) and Aunt Kelly, and on his paternal side, Uncle Rich (Tammy), Bob (Tammy) and Dominic—as well as many cousins.

Nicholas was predeceased by his grandfather, Arthur Grimaldi, and his maternal grandmother, Carol Carmichael, both of whom he loved dearly.

Nicholas shared an enduring bond with his lifelong best friend, George, whose friendship meant so much to him throughout the years.

Nicholas loved looking out his bedroom window at nature, a good cup of coffee, special ramen, and mom’s pot roast and dumplings. He enjoyed everything about the sky and stars.

Nicholas will be remembered for being deeply loved by everyone who knew him. His presence brought comfort, laughter, and connection, and his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
