Portland, Nicholas Mendes 43, passed away peacefully with his family by his side to be with his Lord after years of many disabilities. But those disabilities never stopped him from enjoying life and the people around him. Nick was the son of Paul and Alice Mendes of Waterville.

Nicholas enjoyed playing ball with his brothers. He also enjoyed going for car rides with his Dad and watching wrestling . His most important past time was time well spent with his family. Nick was the brother to Joseph and Michael Mendes; he was the proud uncle to two nieces, Bria Ponsant and Kassi Hujari.

The family would like to thank the many medical staff at Maine General in Portland for all the care and support during Nick's time there, and also the staff at EMCC in Lewiston
