Nick De Benedetti Obituary
Nick Buckley De Benedetti, age 37, passed away after a sudden illness on April 23, 2023, at Providence Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane, Washington with his parents at his side. Nick was born in Moses Lake, Washington on May 6, 1985. He graduated from Moses Lake High School in 2003. Nick attended Whitworth University on an academic scholarship and graduated in 2007 with a double major in Business and Accounting.
Nick was working for Engie Impact in Spokane at the time of his passing. Nick loved golf, soccer, Gonzaga basketball and gaming with friends around the world. Nick especially treasured vacations with his extended family every summer. Nick was an excellent cook and enjoyed preparing meals for the entire family on vacations, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Nick enjoyed many wonderful adventures and experiences with his friends and his interactions with his Engie Impact teammates.
Nick is survived by his loving parents Camille Buckley and P J De Benedetti, and his brother John. He is also survived by his aunts, Pam Mildon (Dan), Melinda Buckley and Madeline Buckley (Angie Williams), Teri Watters (Paul), Ann De Benedetti, uncles Greg Buckley (Cindy), Mike Buckley (Sandy), Mike De Benedetti (Kim) and John De Benedetti (Donna) and numerous cousins.
He was taken from us much too soon and we will miss him forever.
A private family service is being planned for this summer.
Donations in Nick's memory may be made to Grant County Animal Outreach, 6725 Randolph Road NE, Moses Lake, WA 98837.

The 4 years I spent with Nick in marching band and Percussion Ensemble in high school I remember fondly. He and I lost touch after graduation, but I'd hear about him from time to time from others in our circle. He was a salt-of-the-earth person.
If he wasn't in on it, he put up with our foolishness in high school splendidly. I am sad at his passing. All the best to his family and friends.

I had only met Nick one time in person because of the pandemic, but we lived near each other and we had spoken about beer and the best internet in the neighborhood. 99% of the time Nick won our weekly team trivia contests, and our playful accusations of cheating rolled off his back because he knew he was right. We did, too. He was a sweet and brilliant person and his photo shows me someone I wish I had known better.
HIs memory will continue to be a blessing on the Engie team as he was in life. In spite of this great loss, I hope you can find comfort in your memories of him.
