Nicholas Anaya Obituary
Nicholas Paul Anaya, 34, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, passed away on July 25, 2025.
Nicholas was a man of many talents and a heart full of warmth. A skilled chef by trade, he brought people together through his food and creativity. Outside the kitchen, he was known for his hands-on passion as a self-taught YouTube mechanic, always eager to help others with car troubles, and he was also a dedicated Uber driver who never failed to bring a smile to his passengers' faces.
Nick was deeply loved by his family and friends. He is survived by his mother, Ramona Anaya; his sister, Andrea Anaya; his brother, Manuel Anaya; his beloved son, Nicko Anaya; nephews Luis, Juan, and Joseph; great-niece Jinelly; and his best friend, Faith Lamone, who stood by him through thick and thin.
Those who knew Nicholas will remember his generous spirit, contagious laugh, and the way he could light up a room with his presence. His love for family, friends, and good food will never be forgotten.
A private memorial will be held by the family in Albuquerque.
He will be dearly missed and forever remembered.
Arrangements are being handled by the caring professionals at the Director's Choice Mortuary, 9316 Susan Ave SE, Albuquerque, NM 87123, (505) 272-6524 .
