Nicholas Birnie passed away peacefully on February 1, 2026, surrounded by his friends and family. Nick was born on June 2, 1981 to Greg and Helen, in Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho, joining his big brother Christopher (or as Nick called him Topher). He had an infectious smile and a huge heart filled with love for all.
Anyone who knew Nick, knew that he was always focused on making people smile, through being a gentleman, telling silly jokes, even when times were tough for him. Nick leaves a huge hole in our hearts. Those left behind are his son Nox, brother Chris, sister Nicole, father Greg, mother Helen, many aunts, uncles, cousins, soon to be brother and sister in-laws, and many, many, many, many friends.
We will be having a “Celebrations of Life” gathering, which we will announce here and will spread the news to all.
