Nicholas Joseph ’22

August 11, 2022 in Española, New Mexico.

Nicholas blazed through life like a shooting star—catapulting himself from one passion to the next, eager to soak up every piece of knowledge and excitement the world had to offer. Born in San Diego, California, he always found new ways to have fun. As a toddler, he’d dress up as a superhero and run around the house. He was an active boy and played just about every sport possible. As the years went on, his passions for writing, literature and language took over. He graduated from High Tech High and studied Russian literature at Reed until 2020.

Nick’s greatest accomplishments were his writings. He leapt at the chance to travel, and in 2019, he spent his summer in Russia, teaching English to school children. He was a scholar and loved literature, philosophy, music, and foreign films. His books were always nearby. He was known to pack more books than clothes while traveling. One of his favorite adventures took him to a James Joyce literary pub crawl in Dublin, Ireland.

Nick had a zest for life, the gift of conversation, and the ability to be at ease with everyone. Wise beyond his years, he had a connection with the afterlife. He was in preschool when his great grandmother passed away. He told his mother not to worry, that grandma had become an angel. He knew life was larger than this world, that his time on Earth was merely a stop along the way of a great adventure. His journey has only begun. Nick is survived by his parents, Lisa and Travis, and his sister, Sierra.
