Nicholas Marin Obituary
Nick was born Dec. 28, 1982, in Waterville, the son of Leonard Marin Jr. and Desiree (Harris) Marin of Benton.
Nick was a 2001 graduate of Lawrence High School and attended the University of Maine at Orono, where he received his degree in mechanical engineering technology in 2005. Nick was pursuing his master's degree in engineering science.
He was employed by Pratt & Whitney in North Berwick as a manufacturing engineer, where he was well-loved by his coworkers.
When not hard at work, Nick could be found training his dog, Reese, proudly riding his Harley on the open road or staying in for a game night with Tasha, James and Amy. He enjoyed weekends at camp on Bennett Pond in Parkman with his family, four-wheeling and putting his personal touch to the camp.
All who knew Nick could see and feel his love for life, doing everything at 100 percent and with a smile on his face. His love and dedication to family and friends will set an example that will surely live on.
He was predeceased by his paternal grandfather, Leonard "Pepere" Marin; and his maternal grandfather, Jake "Papa" Wrigley.
Nick is survived by his parents, Leonard and Desiree Marin; his wife, Tasha (Lee) Marin; his maternal grandmother, Blanche Wrigley; his paternal grandmother, Cecile Marin; his brother, James Marin and his special significant other, Amy Silliman; and his extensive loving family, which included many very special aunts, uncles and cousins, whom he considered brothers and sisters.
Visiting hours will be from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18, at Lawry Brothers Funeral Home, 107 Main St. in Fairfield. A Mass of Christian burial will take place at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 19, at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Fairfield, with burial to follow. A gathering of friends and family will be in the Knights of Columbus Hall at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church following burial.
In honor of Nick, please dress casually in jeans and polo shirts for his services.
The family would like to thank everyone for all of the love and support during this very difficult time.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Nick's name to: United Way of Mid-Maine, P.O. Box 91, Waterville, ME 04903 and/or American Cancer Society, 1 Bowdoin Mill Island, Suite 300, Topsham, ME 04086-1240.

To the Marin family:
Words escape me so I'll borrow them from someone else who said:
Cry when you miss him, laugh when you remember him, and thank God that you knew him.

To the Marin Family,
I am still in shock hearing about this unexpected news. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for Nick, he was a genuine person with a kind heart and soul. He was definitely one of a kind. He always was so happy and upbeat even when others around him were not. I am so grateful to have met and worked with him for the past few years, and I will miss his positive attitude and Maine humor.

Tasha....................
I'm Not Here
Don't stand by my grave and weep
For I'm not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamonds glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn's rain
When you awaken in morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circle flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die.
This indian prayer reminded us of Nick, and we wanted to share it. Hope it helps to know Nick will always be remembered with every, turkey, deer, buck, moose and coyote track in our neighborhood. If there is anything you need or anything we can do down on this end please don’t hesitate to call. Our prayers are with your families.

My heart goes out to you...I want you to know that you are in my prayers in this very difficult time
Loved ones leave us,and sometimes so unexpectedly but God will NEVER leave us nor forsake us (Heb. 13:5). He is "our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Ps. 46:1).
"There is never a day so dreary,
But God can make it bright,
And unto the soul that trusts Him,
He giveth songs in the night.
There is never a path so hidden,
But God will lead the way;
If we seek for His Spirit's guidance,
And patiently wait and pray."
"There is never a cross so heavy
But the nail-scarred hands are there;
Outstretched in tender compassion
The burden to help us bear.
There is never a heart so broken
But the loving Lord can heal,
For the heart that was pierced on Calvary
Doth still for His loved ones feel.
"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you"
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matt. 11:28).
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Ps. 46:1). "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me..." (Ps. 23:4).

In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we remember them.
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them
In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them.
In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember them
In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them.
When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them.
So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.
~Jewish prayer
I so enjoyed those high school years watching Nick on the socccer field and on the ice with my sons. My heart breaks for you loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
