Nicholas Mader Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jun. 19 to Jun. 21, 2023.
Nicholas Thomas Franklin Mader Miami - Never again will there be such a distinctive imprint bestowed on our hearts as the one that Nicholas Thomas Franklin Mader, 44, of Jupiter & Miami, Florida & Buffalo (Chaffee), New York, stamped on ours. He was escorted by angels to be with Jesus on Friday, June 9, 2023 in Jupiter, Florida. Nick exhibited an unparalleled, courageous spirit. Nick's childhood summers were dedicated to gallivanting around the family farm, Mader's Acres. This near 6'5", former Pioneer High School basketball star was adored by everyone. A charismatic, perpetual jokester, Nick shone a captivating, Colgate grin that could light up a room! Golf, music, sunrise at the beach, working out, movies based on true stories, his mother's cheesecake, enjoying new culinary delights, and his family & friends brought him great happiness, not to mention, he was a driving force in his field of operations for 20+ years. Nick is preceded in death by Edward A. Mader, Marcelline (Chavanne) Mader, Beatrice "Bea" (Float) Graham, Thomas Edward Mader, Sr., & Robert Raymond Vales. Further, he is survived by his faithful wife of 11 years, Shara Danette (Vales) Mader, mother, Linda Lee (Graham) Engstrom, step-father, Denman Brooks Engstrom, siblings, Deborah Lynn (Timothy) Keller and Thomas Edward (Marie) Mader, Jr., step-brother, William (Jennifer) Engstrom, step-sister, Jeanne Reber, grandparents, Francis (Linda) Graham, mother-in-law, Audrey Mae Vales, & brother-in-law, Robert Alexander (Denise) Vales; beloved uncle to 14 nieces and nephews; & great-uncle to 5 great nieces and nephews. Family & friends are invited to the memorial celebration at: Mader's Acres (Chapel), 10500 Olean Road, Chaffee, New York 14030, Thursday, July 20, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. Memorial donations can be made to: Buffalo Titans Basketball, Attention: Mrs. Melissa Kuberka, 134 Elmsford Drive, West Seneca, New York 14223.

My family and I met Nick when he and Shara started dating. We immediately knew there was something special about him. He was a genuine, funny, friendly, gentle soul. He even connected with our two young daughters almost instantly. We always enjoyed the time we spent with Nick and Shara. We especially remember all piling into our minivan and driving around enjoying Christmas lights together. I personally enjoyed talking sports with Nick despite the fact that he was a huge Browns fan...Go Steelers! You will be missed, my friend!

I met Nick when he came to Southeasterns' Stuart office. He was such a great guy to know and to work with. He was never cranky and always willing to do whatever needed to be done no matter how much he already had on his plate. And that smile didn't hurt.... I was lucky to know him and very sad to hear he lost his long fight. My heart goes out to his wife, family and friends, may time soften your pain and loss.

The best thing that life can give you is to meet people like Nick who, no matter where they are, always leave their mark.
And I had that privilege, although my English is not the best he always communicated with me, smiled at me and always treated me with kindness and kindness, he congratulated me for my achievements.
A great partner, boss, and person.
We will miss you very much.

Nick was a Great Guy and a logistics genius. He always found solutions no matter how tough the task. We can contribute a lot of Southeaster's success to his dedication and hard work. He was hilarious, he would always say to me, "Hello Stranger" because I work from home and we both had a lot of laugh's. He will be greatly missed. We will continue praying for the family. I know he is in a better place and we will see him again.
Lets be grateful for each day.

I had the privilege of working alongside Nick for three years. He possessed a charming personality and exuded immense vitality. He earned my admiration for his bravery and resolute drive to live. Although we will dearly miss him, his legacy will remain indelibly etched in our hearts. Farewell, my friend.

Nick was always so engaged and dedicated with anything I ever needed, no matter how trivial it might have been. I loved talking golf with him and his energy. He will be so missed. He left a mark on everyone he ever meet including me. I'm so incredibly sorry to the Mader family for your loss.
