Nicholas Quets - Honoring a Life, Preserving a Legacy

U.S. Marine Corps Veteran Nicholas Douglas Quets:

We are devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Nicholas Douglas Quets, a beloved son, brother, and friend, who was senselessly murdered on October 18, 2024, while traveling through Sonora, Mexico by a cartel. Nicholas, a Tucson native, was on a trip with friends when his life was cut short in a violent and unprovoked attack along Federal Highway 2. His death is the latest tragedy in a growing pattern of violent incidents along the U.S./Mexico border.

As a means of coping with the heartbreak of losing Nicholas, his family and friends are raising funds to ensure his legacy lives on.

In addition to addressing immediate expenses linked to the tragedy, Nicholas’s memory will be kept alive via a memorial scholarship in his name. Nicholas had a passion for welding and fabrication, and we hope to establish a scholarship that will help students pursue education and training in these fields, continuing his love for craftsmanship and his desire to help others.

**Your donation will help cover:**

- The expenses of bringing Nicholas home to Tucson

- Funeral and service expenses

- Outstanding financial obligations

- The establishment of the Nicholas Douglas Quets Memorial Scholarship for students pursuing welding and fabrication schooling

We deeply appreciate any support you can provide during this incredibly difficult time. Your generosity will not only help us honor Nicholas’s life, but will also help others in our community pursue their dreams, just as he did.

Thank you for your kindness and compassion.
