| Obituary from Wilson Funeral Home |
Nicholas “Slick” Patrick Cote, 32, passed away at home in New Gloucester on Saturday, December 17th, 2022.
Born on Jan. 10th, 1990, to Gregory and Debra Cote in Portland, Maine. He attended Gray New Gloucester High School, where he met many of his lifelong friends. Having developed a love for trucking at a young age, he obtained his CDL at the age of 18. It truly was the early years spent riding around in the tractor trailer with his father that inspired him to become a master behind the wheel.
Nick was a jack of all trades; he was not afraid to get his hands dirty. Whether that was driving a truck, cutting down trees or laying down pavement-there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do. If he wasn’t working, he was an avid outdoors lover. His passion was for fishing for trout in the local lakes of Maine, bird hunting in the Allagash, cruising Sebago Lake in the pontoon with his family, camping at Baileys campground, spending his winter days ice fishing on Sabbathday Lake or snowmobiling the trails in Rangeley.
Many of his fondest memories were ‘uptah’ camp. Nick enjoyed the simple life of cooking for an army on the charcoal grill, a fire in the back yard with family and friends or simply cracking a cold beer at the mill on a Friday night. Above all else, he was the most loving father, partner, son and friend. If you called Nick, he was always there to lend a hand.
Nicholas is predeceased by his grandparents Yvonne and Donald Cote, grandfather Manford Rideout. He is survived by his parents Greg and Deb, brother Chris and wife Becky; sister Haylee and fiancé Mike, younger sisters Myah, Leah; close cousin Lindsey; his beloved 91-year-old Nana, Patricia; his lifelong love and the mother his children Meg, and his two treasured sons, Hunter and Trevor. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. He will be laid to rest with his grandfather Manford, who he affectionally called Gramps.
Visiting hours will be 4-8pm on Tuesday, December 27th, 2022 at Wilson’s Funeral Home, 24 Shaker Rd., Gray, ME 04039. A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, December 28th, 2022, at 10 am at St. Gregory the Great Church, 24 N Raymond Rd., Gray, ME 04039.
