Nicholas Ambrose Wells (18/6/91-23/5/16)

A celebration of the life of 24-year-old Nicholas Ambrose Wells, of Brunswick Heads, which was cut tragically short after a road accident last weekend near Newcastle, will be held at Torakina Park on Saturday, June 4, at 1pm.

Nick, as he was affectionately known to his many friends throughout Byron shire, had recently moved back home to his family at Brunswick Heads after working for three years in Sydney building up his trade career and to be with his baby daughter Sapphire.

He was set to celebrate his 25th birthday on 18 June and looking forward to a new life back in the area he grew up in and to be among those he loved: his soul-mate sister Tamsyn, his proud little ‘bro Sebastian, his dear Nana Barbara, adored mum Sue, step-dad Luis and dad Serle.

All welcome to share stories and reminisce on Nick’s life at Torakina Park, Brunswick Heads, on Saturday, 4 June, at 1pm.
