Nicholas DeMaria Obituary

Nicholas Paul DeMaria, 23, of Northfield, passed away unexpectedly on Monday February 4, 2019. He will be forever loved and missed by his family and friends. Nick was a happy, loving, warm, and caring person who could light up any room. He had an amazing sense of humor that will continue to bring smiles to the faces of all those who know just how goofy he could be.

Growing up in the surrounding area, Nick was full of adventure and loved finding it with his friends who he remained very close with throughout his life. His favorite activity growing up was skateboarding, which he was very passionate about.

After getting married, life had come full circle for Nick and he began the pursuit of his dream to become a barber, and one day, open his own shop. He was full of ideas for his vision of a comfortable and top quality business. Nick attended the Rob Roy Academy in Worcester, MA. He worked at Prondo's Barber Shop in Greenfield MA, and was establishing himself in the area under his signature name, Snipper Nick.

He loved to fix up his car and had dreams of entering his prized Honda Accord in car shows. He loved going to the beach in the summer as much as possible, and always made it an adventure. Nick loved children, especially his God Son Carter. Nick could not possibly have been more overjoyed to be expecting his first child this October.

Nicholas leaves behind his wife, Alaina (Brown) DeMaria of Northfield, his mother Julia (Williams) Rice, stepfather Evan Rice, and brother Gabe Williams, all of South Deerfield, his father Vincent DeMaria of Greenfield, his grandfather Paul Williams, his grandmother Barbara Harnois, his uncle and aunt Adam and Stephanie Williams, many cousins, and beloved friends.

Calling hours will be held at Kidder Funeral Home in Northfield this Sunday, February 10, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. Donations can be made in honor of Nicholas DeMaria to the Windham County Humane Society at: windhamcountyhumane.org

I remember all the times Nicholas came to our house,visiting with all his cousins, then as he grew into a young man living his life, we didn't see him as much. But Nicholas had spirit that glowed. That glow will be in our hearts forever!!!!

Nick, I only met you this fall but in the short amount of time we worked together I felt we connected in so many ways. Whether it was skateboarding, barbering or music. I admired your hard work and confidence in the trade of barbering and I always will. You really weren't afraid of any task. You brought a special spark to the barbershop and it will surely be missed. It's clear how special of a person you were by how many people you impacted. Rest up my friend.

An old friend.

The first day I met you, it was like we had been friends for years. Our friendship grew, we lived together (which were honestly the funnest times of my life). I'll never forget all the amazing times, rough times, angry times, happy times. You made the worst of times the happiest with that smile and laugh that was so contagious. I love you nick, look over all of us down here hurting. Especially your wife and your beautiful baby boy or girl to be. Fly high baby boy ❤
