Nicolas Lewis Kell, dearly loved son and brother, peacefully passed away on December 14, 2025, at just 19 years old, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on September 15, 2006, Nicky’s radiant smile and infectious laughter brightened every room he entered. His passion for music and his joyful spirit were a true reflection of the vibrant person he was. Though he endured so much pain, his strength never wavered, and he never lost his smile or laugh—he was truly joyous, a shining example of resilience and light.

Nicky’s kindness, strength, and warmth touched the lives of everyone who knew him. Though his time with us was far too short, the love and memories he leaves behind will continue to inspire and comfort his family and friends forever. He is lovingly survived by his mother, MariAnna Miller Martinez; father, Daniel Martinez; brothers, Jacob Kell and Daniel Martinez-Miller; sisters, Crystal Martinez and Lilliana Martinez Miller; and grandparents Samuel E. Miller, Stephen Kell, and Odilia Romo. He was preceded in death by his grandmother Susan Miller and grandparents Kris and Lewis Myers. Many aunts and uncles also hold his memory close in their hearts.

Nicky’s legacy of love and joy remains a shining light—a beautiful reminder of the remarkable person he was and the profound impact he made on all who had the privilege to know him.
