He was born September 1, 1968 in East Chicago, Indiana, the son of Andrew and Grace (Nommenson) Palkovich.

Nicholas graduated from Griffith High School in 1986. After he graduated high school he pursued a career as a paper recycling supervisor, and married Carrie Bunch.

The family would like to give a special thank you to those who were able to visit Nick throughout this past year; as well as to Dunes Hospice and Crown Point Christian Village for the care provided during Nick's last final months.

Nick and I went to school from Kindergarten until graduating from Griffith High School in 1986. We also played on the same baseball team , the Cardinals and won 1st place 2 years in a row!We even had a homeowner derby going between Nick and I , of course the big guy won 12 to 10! I would go to Nick's house almost every day just to hang out throughout elementary school. We were good friends throughout high school. One of the GREATEST friends a person could ever have! Always a joker! Fun to be around. Love You Brother! You will be missed!
