August 6, 1958 - May 27, 2025
Nick, originally from County Wexford, Ireland, immigrated to the United States in 1986 and built a successful career in real estate. His deep commitment to philanthropy led him to fund the construction of four schools in East Africa, where he witnessed firsthand the urgent need for clean water. In 2008, he founded Wells of Life, dedicated to providing sustainable borehole wells to rural Ugandan communities. Under his leadership, the organization has built and restored over 1,400 wells, transforming the lives of more than 1.4 million people. Though he left this world on May 27, 2025 and has gone to be with the Lord, his spirit and legacy live on through the efforts of the organization.
