Nicholas Theodore Despas III

Nick was a dedicated and hardworking man who took great pride in his career. He spent several years with Thrive Companies, where he served as a Senior Construction Manager, earning the respect of colleagues through his leadership and commitment. Outside of work, Nick had a deep love for life’s simple pleasures. He found joy in riding his motorcycle, casting a line while fishing, listening to his favorite music, and visiting the beautiful Smoky Mountains.

Nick had a magnetic personality—he was fun-loving, a natural storyteller, and always knew how to bring laughter to those around him.

Nick was a bright spirit, and will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

He was preceded in death by his mom, Donna Despas.

He is survived by loving wife of 13 years, Anna Maria Despas, daughters; Cayla (David), Jordan, Madison, and Isabella, sister, Nichele Despas, father, Nicholas Despas Jr., grandchildren; Shay, Flo, RJ, Mila, Nola, Wes and Ryan, nephew, Jackson, and furry friends, Tank, Diesel and Lolita, along with many other family and friends.

Family will receive friends Sunday, September 28, 2025 from 1-3PM at SCHOEDINGER EAST FUNERAL HOME, 5360 E. Livingston Ave, with a memorial service to follow at 3PM .
