Nicolas Tenbrink Obituary
Nic was loved by many. He is survived by his mother, Melanie Norris and step father Eron Norris, father James Tenbrink and step mother Colleen Tenbrink. Brother Ben and Brad, and sister, Emily. Grandparents, Gene and Charlene Tenbrink and cousins Nicole and Amanda, step brother Jon Qualls, step sister Jessica Collins and many others in his extended family.
Nic loved soccer and swimming, and competed in Special Olympics for many years. His favorite way to spend time was working with his Dad on his farm, and looked forward to every day he could go work the orchards.
Preceding him in death are his grandmother Diana Blankenship, and his cousin and godfather, Mark Yeo.
A service will be held at McCune Garden Chapel on Saturday, July 26, 2025 at 11:00 am.
McCune Garden Chapel, 212 Main Street, Vacaville, California.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests any donations be made to the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California in his memory, at Epilepsynorcal.org
