Nicholas Henry Lerma, 30, our sweet, kindhearted son, brother, father and uncle entered our Heavenly Father’s golden gates to Heaven on November 7, 2021. Nick was born in Corpus Christi, Texas on August 6, 1991. Nick enjoyed spending his days with family and friends; especially his son, Nicko. Nick had a heart made of pure gold and would never hesitate to help anyone in need. Nick had the most contagious smile that could light up the darkest days. Nick had an affinity for all things sweet, was a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and enjoyed catching the latest movie at the theaters. Nick is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Dora Ramirez and Gilberto Ramirez, and his maternal aunt, Rosie Ramirez.
He is survived by his parents, Jose and Diane Lerma; his paternal grandparents, Jose and Ramona Lerma; his sisters, Desi and Larissa; his son, Nicholas Lerma Jr; along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins. The family extends their deepest gratitude for all the thoughts, love and prayers sent their way as they navigate through this difficult time.
