Nicholas (Nick) LeBire, 33, Massena

MASSENA -- With heavy hearts, we are saddened at the loss of our beloved son, Nicholas (Nick) LeBire.

Nick was born in Massena, NY on December 22, 1988, to Steve LeBire and Lee Ann Graham.

Nick was full of life and love; he had a warm heart, and a beautiful smile and always could make you laugh at his antics.

His passion for the outdoors led him to own his own lawn care business in Virginia.

When he wasn’t working he loved to fish and he taught his precious daughter, Chloe, his love for it. Memories his daughter will always cherish.

Nick has fought a hard battle with himself for years, and now he can rest in peace; the fight is over and a beautiful journey awaits him.

Memories of his friendship with John Linsey, his best friend all through the years, warms our hearts; they were some of the best years in Nick’s life, including his closeness to his Papa Dick and his special bond with his cousin, Krista LeBire.

Above all, he had a deep love for his daughter, Chloe. She put the light in his life and he will always shine through her.

Nick will be greatly missed; he touched many lives and he didn’t even know it, but we all do.

May you rest in peace, Nick. Know that you are loved and on your birthday, December 22, we will light a candle on a cake and wish you the best to come on your peaceful journey. The candle will fade, but the afterglow will remain in all of us for eternity.

Nick leaves behind his mother, Lee Ann Graham, his father, Steve LeBire and step-mom, Carolyn; his beautiful daughter, Chloe Grace LeBire, step-brother, Ricky Smith and wife, Deanna; his grandmothers, Marjorie Graham and Marilyn LeBire; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Nick was predeceased by his sister, Monica Hughes; His grandfathers, Al Graham and Richard LeBire (Papa), and step-grandmother, Joanie Baby.

There will be no services.
