Nicholas Robert Forte'

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Nicholas Robert Forte’ share that Nicholas went home to be with our Lord Jesus on November 09, 2020 at the age of 24. Nicholas was born on October 27, 1996 in Goshen, New York to JoAnne M. Syskowski and Steven K. Forte’. Nicholas was a resident of Palm Coast, Florida and Walden, New York. He attended Palm Coast High School and graduated in 2015 from Florida Youth Challenge Academy in Starke, Florida. Nicholas attended The Art Institute of Tampa for Culinary Arts.

Nicholas was a Christian and accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior as a teen. Nicholas enjoyed cooking, the beach, all types of water activities, snowboarding, theme parks, travel, meeting new people, helping others, music, raising and playing with his children and spending time with his family and friends.

Nick will be remembered for the loving father he was to his daughter, Aleona and son, Nichoto; both meant the world to him. He is our beloved son, brother, father, uncle, grandson, nephew and cousin. Our family will forever hold close to our hearts his free spirit, optimism, charisma, fearlessness, and the way Nick embraced life and made us feel when we were around him. We will forever cherish and miss his huge heart, always full of love for everyone.  Nick’s love, beautiful smile, and infectious laughter will forever live on etched in our hearts! We will all hold our memories of him close to our hearts until we meet him again in heaven; when he will once again kiss and hug us and say welcome home!

Nicholas is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Fred Forte’, maternal great grandmother, Leona Tveit, and nephew Malachi Coltrane.
Nicholas is survived by his daughter, Na’omi Aleona Forte’, whom he calls “Ale”, and his son, Nichoto Afranz Forte’, whom he calls “Choto”. He is also survived by his father, Steven K. Forte’, of Walden, New York; his mother, JoAnne M. Syskowski-Navas and step father Joseph A. Navas of Palm Coast, Florida; his brother, Kevin A. Forte’ and wife, Maritza, and their son, Jasper, of Palm Coast, Florida; his sister, Stephanie R. Aragon of Colorado; his nieces, Violet and Keirra; nephew Gabriel; his step-brother, Matthew Navas, of Columbus, Georgia; paternal grandparents, Patricia and Richard Ehlers; maternal grandparents, Sharon and John DeGroat; along with several aunts, uncles and cousins.

On November 11, 2020, Nicholas gave the ultimate gift of life to four families through organ donation of his heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas, as well as tissue donation of skin for burn victims.

Nicholas was cremated and a celebration of his life was held at his family home in Palm Coast, Florida on November 24th, 2020; close family and friends were in attendance. His love and life live on through us and his children. 

Please keep our family lifted up in your prayers for strength, peace and healing.
