Niko Briseno Williams

Niko Briseño Williams, 26, of Aurora, Colorado died on September 22, 2024.

He was born in Aurora, Colorado in 1997 to Charles & Michelle Williams on November 24, 1997. 

Niko graduated from Gateway High School in 2016 and attended Arapahoe Community College, where he graduated with an associate’s degree in Automotive Service Technology. While attending Arapahoe Community College, he started working at Paddock Imports, where he began working as a Automobile Technician and was recently promoted to the Parts Technician. This is where Niko established himself as loyal and trustworthy employee and friend to all he worked with for eight years. 

From the time Niko was a small boy, he loved anything with wheels, and he loved going fast.

At age 5, he began racing BMX bikes and never looked back. He later progressed to skateboards, roller skates, cars, mini-bikes, go-carts, dirt bikes and motorcycles. This all led to his most recent purchase of a Harley Davidson. 

Niko believed in enjoying and living our lives to the fullest. He loved food. He loved eating it and cooking it. He and his sister often had food cooking competitions and to the very end would argue as to who was the better cook. Niko was funny, witty, kind, sensitive and considerate of everyone around him. He excelled in everything he did: sports, working, playing, managing his time, and managing his responsibilities. He was a bright light in the lives of so many people. 

Niko is survived by his father Charles, his mother Michelle, his sister Jaden Williams, his grandmother “Baba” Mary Foxall, his grandmother Debbie Briseño, his grandparents Mathew & Gina Williams, and the LOVE of his life Shelby Shoemaker. Niko also leaves behind his beloved family members consisting of the Granados, Briseños, Maldonados, Pedrazas, Castillios, and Reebles. He is followed in death by his grandfather John Briseño.
