The Columbus, Georgia Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. mourns the passing of one of our 2023 Beaux, Nicholas, affectionately known as "Nick.”

Nick was a rising senior at Columbus High School. Sports was his passion! Nick planned to major in Sports media and communications. He loved gaming, basketball and football (especially UGA football). He played Boy's basketball throughout his youth, his freshman and sophomore years of high school. Nick was excited to be joining the social media and yearbook teams beginning his senior year. He was eagerly looking forward to his Senior Project: Cooking/Culinary Arts with Mrs. Heather Harrell. Nick enjoyed participating and volunteering in church and the community. Nick was excited to be selected as a 2023 Beau and looked forward to participating in the calendar of events and the 2023 Beautillion Ball. Nick always brought a smile to everyone’s face!

His family has asked that donations be given in his memory to support the Jack and Jill of America Foundation, Inc. using this link.

In Loving Memory of Jesse Anthony-Nicholas Averett
