Nickolas Humphries Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Dec. 5 to Dec. 7, 2023.
Broussard - Nickolas Baxter Humphries II, Nick was 38 years old when he unexpectedly passed away in his sleep at his home in Broussard, Louisiana in the early morning of November 22nd, 2023. He was a kind, patient, and compassionate soul who triumphed in his Recovery with 9.5 years sober. He dedicated his sober years giving service to those beginning the journey themselves. With his calm and steady demeanor he led by example and offered a gentle presence in the face of uncertainty and fear. His impact on the community was grander than you'd expect for such a short time on this Earth. He was a new, yet avid frisbee golf player whose spirit will be kept alive on the course.

He is preceded in death by his Father, Nickolas Baxter Humphries who died 1/1/2022. He is survived by his Mother, Monette Marie (Meaux) Humphries, and his sister, Leah Virginia Humphries.

There will be a Celebration of Life Memorial on December 9th, 2023 from 11 - 2 pm at Bayou Church, 2234 Kaliste Saloom Rd, Lafayette, LA 70508, followed by a reception from 2-5pm at Day One Clubhouse, 924 Kaliste Saloom Rd, Ste. B, Lafayette, LA 70508.

I just found out the news about you Nick and my heart is shattered to pieces.
I was fortunate enough to meet Nick as his neighbor. I had started a new life alone with my two kids and Nick was such a source of comfort and support. He´d let me borrow random things or move something heavy when I couldn´t for the kids. He´d come sit on my porch with me to just talk or come over to eat dinner when I cooked so I want always alone. Id come home to my grass being cut. He´d do little things to make sure the kids and I were okay. He was always smiling. Warm. Kind. Funny. Someone you could trust with your world. He was a peaceful soul. Nick wherever you are now, I hope you have the peace and warmth you worked so hard to give. I will miss you always.

Nick was so kind to me when I needed it. He helped make me less anxious at the beginning of my journey to recovery. He was always good for a laugh. Rest easy, Nick, you touched a lot of people!

Nick meant alot to me. I was his grandmother caregiver for years. I met Nick while he was over to see his grandmother. He was quiet, calm n had a peaceful demeanor. I later found out he was in recovery and worked at Victory Recovery center. He helped me navigate getting my two brothers into treatment n was quick to do service by tell his story without hesitation. His story struck my heart because I had become complacent in my own recovery of 30 yrs. Nick was my go to person when I needed help. He never complained that I was a bother he always pointed me in the right direction. I will truly miss him dearly he curved a place in my heart fill with love,joy,service and so much more. I love u Nick with all my heart. I´m not going to say goodbye I´ll simple say see u later. My brother from another father (GOD) Angela C.
