Nick Corea's Funeral Costs and Medical Expenses

Nick "Nicky" Corea passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, October 14th at 8:00 pm. We were unaware of the extent of his illness and his death came as a shock to us all.

I started this GoFundMe on behalf of my grandmother, Mary Louise Corea, because Nick provided tremendous financial support for her over the years. His sudden passing leaves her with huge funeral costs and additional medical bills. Losing her son brings great pain that will last forever, but there has been some comfort in the amount of love for Nick shared by friends, family, and the community. My hope is that we can come together to alleviate the financial stress that his loss brings.

Nick’s culinary talents were shared in various establishments in New York and Colorado. In 2001, Nick opened Nicky’s at the Storm King Theater. It was for New Year’s Eve in 2001, that Nick created Nicky’s New Year’s Eve Ball Drop, which continues to be held every year in the Village Square. This year will be its 20th year anniversary.

Nick had an incredibly deep range of passions that spoke volumes about his character. His altruistic nature and comedic sharpness resonated with many-creating friendships and first impressions that lasted a lifetime. Nick was a brilliant chef, an artistic soul, a captivating storyteller with a larger than life personality. His kindness was treasured by more people than he ever knew. The rock of our family has crumbled. Nick’s presence will be so greatly missed but his impact will live on with all of us forever.
