Nicholas Bourdeau Obituary
Great Falls - Nicholas L. Bourdeau, 68, of Great Falls passed away at his home on Monday, July 27, 2020. Private services are being held.
Nick was born December 25, 1951, in Missoula to J. Fred and Lottie Bourdeau. They moved to Great Falls in 1953. He graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1970, went on to Gonzaga University and then graduated from University of Montana with an accounting degree.

Nick & I took drivers training together & were in the same car together. That is when I really was able to get to know him. I appreciated his personality! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
