August 24, 2002 - August 17, 2024
Charlotte, North Carolina - Nicholas Peter Copsis passed away at Atrium Pineville Hospital on August 17, 2024 from an unexpected and sudden illness.
Niko attended Christ Covenant Lutheran Preschool, Covenant Day School, Socrates Academy, United Faith Christian Academy and graduated from Marvin Christian Academy. He loved his best friend and service dog Rudy.
His favorite hobby was horseback riding at Mephibosheth Farms Angelic Riders in Marshville NC every Saturday. He enjoyed his YouTube Kid videos, Nakato Japanese Hibachi for his birthday parties and going to Walt Disney World often. Nicholas also enjoyed going to the annual Autism Family Camp at the Diakonia Center of the Metropolitan of Atlanta Greek Orthodox Church.
Nicholas especially loved being an altar boy at St Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church.

I was so sorry to hear the news of Nick. I will miss the time I got to spend with him on Saturdays leading him on the horse, counting the hay bales, putting rings "up", looking for the horses on the trail ride and checking to see if anyone was fishing. It was always a highlight to end the day with Nick at Mephibosheth Farm
