Nicholas Kane Newberger

Nicholas Kane Newberger, 39, beloved son, brother, and uncle, passed away unexpectedly on 5 March 2019. Nick was born 17 August 1979 at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida. He was a Construction Manager working with Arthur Rutenberg Homes based in Vero Beach, Florida, a job that he loved. Nick was an avid fisherman, diver, and outdoorsman and lived by the Boy Scout Motto: Be Prepared. He was an honored Eagle Scout and championed the 12 Points of Scout Law. Nick was trustworthy and loyal, his word and a simple handshake meant his commitment. Above all else, Nick was cheerful. He had a wicked sense of humor and was the first to laugh inappropriately or make light of any situation. To know him, meant you were to laugh with him, or sometimes…at him. Nick loved his family and friends fiercely, and he was willing to protect them at any cost. As a true marksman, he was proud to teach his sister to shoot "better than most men." He was a true patriot and loved this Nation and the men and women sworn to protect it. Nick is survived by his mother Karen Clark Newberger; sister and brother-in-law, Nealie Newberger and Matthew Marks; niece and nephew, Lillian and Lincoln Marks; and brother Nathan Newberger. Nick was preceded in death by his father Henry "Hank" Calvin Newberger; paternal grandparents, Henrietta Jean Newberger and Edward Frank Newberger, Sr.; and maternal grandparents, Catherine Ruth Clark and Herbert Lee Clark, as well as his beloved pugs Pearl and Rufus. Nick was loved by many and he left an indelible mark, and his absence will leave a huge void in this world. Memorial services will be held at 6 pm on Monday, 11 March,2019, at Palms West Funeral Home, Royal Palm Beach, Florida. Reception to follow.
