Nicholas Eugene Barber, age 35, of Lac Courte Oreilles, passed away unexpectedly Wednesday, February 1, 2023.
Nicholas was born April 8, 1987, in Hayward, the son of Nelson Sr. and Barbara (Hugo) Barber. He lived a life the way only a Nicholas would. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends, hanging out a Good Knights, but especially enjoyed visiting with his daughter Haley every chance he could. Nick worked as a cook for Angler’s Bar and Grill for many years, then worked for the Sevenwinds Casino as a security guard. His booming laugh and sense of humor was contagious. Nick loved working on cars with his buddy Johnny Davis.
