Waterford - Nicholas "Nick" John Kupec, of Waterford, formerly of North Haven, husband of Kristy (Hunter) Kupec, died in a tragic accident Sept. 5, 2025. He was a beloved husband, son, brother, uncle, grandson, godparent and friend.

Nick was the cherished son of Carol Codeanne Teixeira (Michael), and Nicholas I. Kupec (Judy). Born in Milford, March 5, 1986, he graduated from North Haven High School in 2005, where he was a member of the golf team, and a junior member of the North Haven Volunteer Fire Department, Company 2.

Nick enjoyed golfing, attending or watching any kind of sporting event, his NY Yankees, Rangers, and Giants teams, Bridgeport Bluefish, his fantasy sports leagues, racing, WWE, cooking, traveling, and spending time with his family and friends.
