Nicholas Francesco Marino

Nicholas “Nick” Francesco Marino, age 25, of Bedford, Massachusetts, passed away on June 8, 2026. His life was tragically cut short while riding his motorcycle en route to the gym.

Nick was a 2019 graduate of Bedford High School. He was a unique young man committed to personal integrity with a strong desire to help anyone in need. His devotion to helping people - in his workplace, in his online videos - to encourage physical fitness training and even with strangers on the street, always encouraged people to better themselves. Nick led by example and put his soul and beliefs into his work.

Those who knew Nick will remember him as a gentle, kind-hearted, warm young man who deeply appreciated the people in his life. He was thoughtful, driven, and goal-oriented, always challenging himself to grow, to better his craft, and to become the best version of himself.

An athlete committed to bodybuilding training and discipline, Nick brought dedication and focus to the things he cared about: weight training, piano, swimming, hiking, and making campfires. His quiet strength, warmth, philosophical spirit, and generosity left a lasting impression on those around him. Nick connected deeply with nature and found peace in outdoor activities and reflection, and had proudly earned the rank of Eagle Scout. He believed people could improve themselves and create positive change; his cup was always full with positivity and optimism. He believed a better man should acknowledge his mistakes, learn from them, apologize, and forgive. He loved his family and friends passionately, and had a strong, unshakeable faith in God.

Nick is deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his family and friends and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Nick is survived by his mother, Karine Marino, his father, Richard M. Marino, brother Alexander Marino, his uncle Artsvick (wife Illona) Ghukasyan, his grandmother Nvart Bagdasaryan, cousins Argishti (wife Courtney), Edward, Levon, Artemiy, and Nare (Jean Pierre). He is survived by his Uncle Dale Marino, Aunt Ruthan (husband David) Marquis, Uncle Michael (wife Julia) Marino, Uncle Jay (wife Katie) Marino, cousins Andrea, Carter (wife Mimi), Christopher, Kelsey, Debbie, Lewis (wife Kaitlynn), Margaret, Jared, Edith, Nathanael, and Eleanor.
