Nick graduated from Northwestern High School in 2010 and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Biology from IU. Nick was working as a histotechnologist for the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine in the Dementia Lab at Indiana University School of Medicine. In a field that depends on precision and patience, he brought a calm presence and a considerate approach, offering his time and attention in ways that mattered.
Outside of work, Nick enjoyed gaming. Those who knew him will remember a man who was quiet, kind, and funny. He was someone that everyone got along with.
Nick is survived by his parents Julia and Jerry Maynard; uncle Terry Maynard; aunts Susan Holman and Sandi Maynard; and cousins Jason Maynard, Amanda McCormack, Matthew Maynard, Andrea McKoon, and Kasey Catt.
He is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents Lee and Ella Maynard and maternal grandparents Gerald and Linda Swaidner.
