Gary Nickolaj Vincent, Saint John, NB — The community is mourning the loss of Gary Nickolaj Vincent, known affectionately as Nick, who passed away on Tuesday, July 16, 2024. He was 41 years old. Nick was a cherished husband, father, and friend, celebrated for his dedication to youth advocacy and his significant contributions to the local skateboarding community.
Nick’s passion for skateboarding led him to be a driving force behind the creation of a skate park in Saint John, providing a positive space for children and teenagers. Justin LeBouthillier expressed his sorrow on Facebook, sharing, "Nick fought tooth and nail for years to get this city a skate park and was a key figure in making that happen. I was always so proud of him for helping to give the kids a positive place to go. My heart breaks for his family. Please give if you can spare."
Nick’s wife, Rebecca, and their children, Avery, Wesley, Charlie, and Munroe, are deeply affected by his passing. Rebecca is also facing financial challenges due to a leg injury that has kept her out of work. To help alleviate these burdens, Briana Morine has organized a fundraiser on GoFundMe, aiming to raise $10,000. So far, $300 has been raised through the generous contributions of Marguerite Adams, Breezy Morine, and Scott Bordage.
Kyle Howe remembered Nick fondly, calling him "The godfather. Sk8 on bro." Anthony Tournier also shared his condolences, highlighting Nick’s lasting impact: "His positive impact will live on forever at that skatepark. I grew up in a really rough town and the skatepark made such a huge difference for myself and my friends and continues to do so."
Nick’s legacy as an advocate and mentor will be cherished by the community he served so passionately. A Celebration of Life will be planned, allowing friends and family to honor his memory and the profound influence he had on their lives.
