Nick grew up in Orlando and graduated from the University of Florida in 2010 with a BA in Business Management. After college, Nick moved back to Orlando and quickly picked back up with friends while making a lot of new ones along the way. Nick loved the Lord, attending Celebration Church where he welcomed members on Sundays as a greeter alongside participating in many other ministry and community service opportunities.
Active in two local Christian men’s groups, Nick served as a table leader at Forge and attended Man in the Mirror as one of its youngest members. He also volunteered his time on Saturday mornings at Orlando Children’s Church mentoring children of all ages.
Nick was a friend to all who knew him. He volunteered his time to help and care for people, thriving most when he was with others. He will always be remembered for his infectious laugh and witty sense of humor. He was an avid Gator sports fan and always the first on the dance floor. Nick loved traveling and being out on the water. He enjoyed trying new things and recently completed his first tandem skydive.
After having worked as a general manager for the Winter Park Firestone store and as a commercial real estate broker for First Capital Property Group, Inc. Nick most recently advanced in his career and developed great working relationships at Gator Door East, Inc. as an estimator and project manager.

Your eyes saw Nick’s unformed substance; in Your Book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for Nick, when as yet there was none of them. Psalm 139:16 (ESV)
A few months ago, when our son was born prematurely, Nick was there for us. He would check in and ask for updates, and we were so thankful for his support.
I’m so grateful to have had Nick in my life. I can’t remember the moment I met Nick because my college experience is so synonymous with Nick. He was always around at all the big parties and games. He was such a good friend to my husband, Eyal, and I feel lucky that I could also call him a friend.
Nick, you are so missed. I wish I could be there this weekend, but I will be joining virtually. Sending my love and prayers to Tony and the entire Augello family.
In addition to his humor, kindness, and cheerfulness, Nick was one of the best dancers I've ever met. Honestly! You could always count on Nick to be out on the dance floor at every wedding or event, creating a fun, lively, atmosphere for everyone to join into. He would always make the dance floor the cool place to be at weddings.
In college, we got to travel together in a group to away football games, theme parks, and, just this past winter, I was fortunate enough to get to see him at the Orange Bowl game in South Florida with my same college roommates. It was such a beautiful treat to get to root for the Gators one more time with the same core Gator Football game crew, more than a decade later. Many of us now live in different states and time zones, but our memories of college were better and more memorable, because of great people like Nick. He will be very missed and my thoughts and condolences go out to the entire Augello family. Thank you, Nick, for your kindness and friendship.
My heart aches for his family and friends.
