Nicholas Scott Kane

If you were lucky enough to have known Nick Kane, you knew how much of a fun loving, hardworking, and genuinely good-hearted man that he was. If you knew him well, you are probably also able to recall at least one hilarious joke that he has shared with you, followed by his infectious, jolly laugh. He had a special gift of lifting spirits and bringing laughter into the world with his corny jokes. Nick passed away peacefully but unexpectedly in the comfort of his home early on November 1, 2018. Nicholas Scott Kane was born in Waukeegan, IL on June 19, 1964 and was raised in Estes Park, Colorado. He attended school in Estes Park until he graduated in 1982. He wrestled, ran track, played football, basketball, softball and baseball from middle school throughout high school. He attended a semester to play football at Chadron State in Chadron, Nebraska. He was a phenomenal athlete, but his true passion was riding dirt bikes and four-wheelers and being able to escape into the mountains. Nick married his high school sweetheart, Kim Rambeau, on May 19, 1990. Together they have two children, Alyssa and Bradley Kane and have been together for nearly 40 years. Brad blessed him with his only grandson on April 24, 2017, Preston, who made Nick so very proud and brought a new joy into his life. Nick was well known around town as a handyman of sorts, as he owned his own business; Kane Construction for almost 20 years. He also helped manage Nicky’s Resort with his son Bradley. He was constantly found in a garage working on cars and motorcycles (his own and friends) and watching his beloved Los Angeles Rams. He is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of 28 years, Kim and children Alyssa and Bradley Kane; grandson Preston Kane; parents Nick Kane and Penny Kane; sister Peggylee Kane; mother-in-law Diane Rambeau; father-in-law Michael Rambeau; sister-in-law Michele (Wayne) York; brother in law Matt (Cristie) Rambeau; nieces Nikole (Chris) Stevenson, Laeticia and Maddy Rambeau; nephews Gunnar and Luke Lordemann. A Prayer Service will be held at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church on Thursday November 8, 2018 at 11:00 AM. A private burial will take place at Estes Valley Memorial Gardens followed by a public reception at Nicky’s Restaurant.
