Nick was a fan of the Seattle Mariners, the Seahawks, the Richland Bombers, Tri-City Dust Devils and Tri-City Americans. He loved camping with his family and friends at Packwood, where he enjoyed riding a bike and sitting around the campfire with a can of soda. Nick was born with Fragile X. He lived with his parents until he was 60, when he and his brother moved into a group home, something he had always wanted to do. Nick was preceded in death by his parents Randy and Pearl Stathopulos. He is survived by his brother Tom and numerous aunts, cousins and friends. Nick was interred at Columbia Memorial Gardens.
