Nicholas Edward Ellison

Nicholas Edward Ellison, 20, of Manchester, NH, passed away at the Community Hospice House in Merrimack surrounded by his loving family on January 22, 2024. Born in Manchester on March 13, 2003, he was the son of Sharon Ellison.

Nicholas was a vibrant soul who found joy in life’s simple pleasures. His enthusiasm for swimming was evident in the countless hours he spent in the water, embracing the freedom and joy it brought him. His love for cars, motorcycles and monster trucks reflected his love for excitement. He had a deep appreciation for music and made many cherished memories attending concerts such as Backstreet Boys, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Poison, Joan Jett and Recycled Percussion with his family. He had recently begun to learn how to play the guitar. Nicholas was not only a friend to humans but also to animals. Above all else, Nicholas’s greatest love was for his family, especially his nieces. His eyes lit up with joy whenever he was in their company.

Nicholas is survived by his mother, Sharon Ellison; his sisters, Felicia Ellison and Mikayla Lefavor and her husband Jordan; his nieces, Abbygail and Emelia Lefavor; as well as extended family members and friends. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Edward and Doris Ellison and his aunt, Lisa Marie Ellison
