Nicola "Nick" Oddo passed away peacefully on August 2, 2025, at the age of 66.

Beloved husband of Karen for 31 wonderful years. Proud father of John (fiancée Julianne Einkorn), Nicholas, and Mathew. Loving son of the late Giovanni and Mary. Dear brother of Nanette and the late John. Cherished uncle of Nicole Miele-Kerns (Clifton) and great-uncle and godfather of Gabriana. He will be deeply missed by his loyal dog, Yoshi, and is also survived by many loving family members and friends.

Born and raised in Detroit, Nick graduated from Osborn High School. It was while working at Bonanza Restaurant in Warren that he met the love of his life, Karen. Their story began with friendship and laughter and blossomed into a lifelong partnership rooted in love, respect, and devotion.

Nick was a passionate fan of Detroit's sports teams-the Tigers, Lions, and Red Wings-always rooting for the home team no matter the score. His loyalty extended beyond the field and into his professional life. For 31 years, Nick was a dedicated and proud employee of Little Caesars, where he began as a store manager and rose to become a respected National Trainer. He was a mentor to many and known for his warmth, humor, and strong work ethic.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, August 7, 2025, from 3:00–8:00 PM at Bagnasco & Calcaterra Funeral Home, 13650 E. Fifteen Mile Road, Sterling Heights, MI.
