Nicholas Don Laris Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Nicholas Don Laris, born November 17, 1978 in Murray, Utah passed away on October 24, 2021 in West Jordan, Utah. He is survived by his parents (Alan and Maxine), his brother and his husband (Brice and Kevin) and his daughter (Alex). Nicholas preferred to go by Nick, since his Mom and Dad only called him by his full name when he was in trouble. Nick had three great loves in his life, his daughter Alex, working on cars with his dad, and sports specifically the Miami Dolphins and New York Yankees. Nick and Alex loved to tease one another incessantly and enjoyed watching movies and football together. With his dad, Nick restored multiple cars, and in recent years displayed the cars he restored in hundreds of car shows throughout the Western United States. Everyone who knew Nick also knew of his love of the Miami Dolphins. For Christmas and Birthdays, he would receive anything that could hold a Dolphins logo, from shirts to sweaters to license plate holders to pencils. He was always so excited and grateful whenever he opened a gift to find the green and orange Dolphins’ logo. Some of Nick’s favorite times were when he attended a New York Yankees baseball game and a Miami Dolphins football game. Nick was a talented electrician and helped many friends and family members with their electrical work, often at no charge. Later he got tired of working in the cold and moved on to Amazon.com where he was known for being a top performer and, having been there three years, was considered an “old timer.” Nick loved to joke and make people laugh. His favorite joke was about the time he hit a wild hog in Florida. He told it so much that people would start to groan whenever he started to talk about it, but it was all in good fun as they knew he was doing what he loved, making people laugh. A funeral for Nick will be held at the LDS Ward House at 9227 South Wild Clover Lane, West Jordan, Utah 84081 on November 1, 2021. A viewing will be held from 11:00 a.m. – 12:45 p.m., followed by the services at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to his daughter’s college education by going to https://gift.my529.org/SITY2A.
