Nicholas Michael Carrigan, 29 of North Adams, beloved son of Jacqueline A. White-Almeida (Madeo Almeida) and the late Michael R. Carrigan, passed away in a tragic motorcycle accident on Wednesday, June 11, 2025.
"Our world is not as colorful without you here, but we are grateful for the love that we continue to feel for you. It's the memories of you that are eternal, protecting us always."
Born in Pittsfield, MA on June 1, 1996, Nick was a 2014 graduate of Mount Greylock Regional High School. He went on to become a certified barber and opened his own barber shop 'Carrigan's Cuts' in North Adams, MA. Outside of his passion for cutting hair, his greatest accomplishment and honor was being a father to his son Killian, a dog dad to Kai, and a 'bonus dad' to Jordan. He was everything to his boys.
He was ambitious and would do anything for his child(ren). He loved spending time with his family and friends, NY Sports, creating good music, and making people laugh. Nick was a member of Mount Greylock Baptist Church putting all of his faith into the Lord.
He will be remembered by his unforgettable personality, the way he lit up any room he walked into, his loyalty and genuine heart.
He leaves behind his son Killian, his 'bonus son' Jordan, his mother and step father; Jackie and Madeo Almeida of Pittsfield, MA, his eldest sister; Courtney Rowell and her husband Matthew of Weymouth, MA, his older sister; Ashleigh Almeida of Pittsfield, MA, his younger brother; Lucien Almeida of Pittsfield, MA, his younger brother; Connor Carrigan of Pittsfield, MA, his youngest brother; Alex Carrigan, his nieces Athena and Aria, his nephew Benjamin, his maternal grandmother Sally Martin Furlano, his goddaughter Freya, his dog Kai, and his many beloved aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
He is predeceased by his father, Michael R. Carrigan.
