Nicholas Shetler, born January 5, 1994, in Salmon, Idaho, passed away leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and light. He was the beloved son of Phillip Shetler and Lisa Collins, and stepson of TC Collins. He was a cherished brother to Amber and the proud father of his son, Aden, whom he loved deeply. Nicholas also shared a close bond with his cousins and dearly loved his Aunt April and Uncle Jerry. He had a special place in his heart for all his nieces and his nephew, who brought him so much joy.
Nicholas lived his life with an open heart and a deep love for God. He found joy in the simple things, always bringing warmth and brightness to every room he entered. With a passion for fitness, he loved spending time in the gym and working hard at everything he did. His work ethic was unmatched, but it was his heart of gold and the way he cared for family and friends that made him truly unforgettable.
Nicholas will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His beautiful soul, unwavering faith, and the light he shared with others will continue to shine in the memories of his loved ones. We find comfort knowing that Nicholas is now in heaven, reunited with his beloved grandma and grandpa.

I have loved Nicholas deeply as a dear friend and I will honor and cherish his memory. For the rest of my days, I will not ever forget him and the joy and comfort he brought me within our friendship. Although we had miles between us and life often tried to bring us in different directions that did not matter, he was truly one of my best friends. I know he is dancing in heaven, free from pain, and free from earthly burdens. I hope that there is comfort in knowing that Nick is watching over all of his friends and family with love. I know he will show he is with all of us in the quiet moments that we look for him. I will listen for those tiny whispers and smile when remembering all the goodness he brought me. My heart is with Nick’s entire family. I pray for peace and comfort- I pray that Jesus surrounds you all with his angels as you heal from this truly tremendous loss.
I said hi,we shake hands every time we meet.we don’t know each other on a pedestal level, and that’s the tragedy. I Love everyone. I was hoping to get to know him,my brother in Christ. We sat at different tables on Saturday Accention . He will be very missed. To the family, my condolences, and Cristians don’t die,we change addresses. Bless your hearts . Love you all.
I had the pleasure of knowing him through the ascension group at new life Christian fellowship he was always a pleasure to talk with and I will greatly miss his sense of humor and his love for his Christian brothers
Despite only having 6 months together, Nick was and always will be the Love of my Life. I have never met a more kindhearted, sweet, loving and caring man such as him. I have no idea how to go through life knowing I will never again see him smile at me, laugh and play Frisbee with our boys and pray over us. He had the most beautiful heart and soul. His faith was the most important thing to him and strong enough that it brought me back to Jesus. Nick and I had such a profound connection that can not be put into words. He was my soulmate, still is and always will be and God anointed our relationship. We had so many plans together for the future and my heart is shattered. I can’t comprehend what happened – it just hurts so much. Nick loved serving people; he made everyone around him feel accepted and loved. I will miss him every day of my life and can’t wait to see him again. I know he is without pain now; I know that he is with God, Jesus and that he is happy. I take comfort in that. Our boys and I will forever miss him. Life just won’t be the same without you, babe. I LOVE YOU FOREVER. YOU CHANGED MY LIFE!

Nick used to be my stepdad and he was more of a dad than my real dad was and he even tried to show that and he was a genuinely nice guy and had a loving soul and no matter what happened he still showed that he love me by throwing the ball with me or just hanging out with me and I always loved him and still always will love him and I still just can’t believe he’s gone and I will always think of him and always remember him
