Obituary of Nicholas David Finley

Nicholas “Nick” Finley, 25, of North Charleston, SC, entered into eternal rest and peace on Sunday, November 20th, 2016 after a long battle with Sarcoma Cancer at Hospice of Charleston where his close and loving family said goodbye to him. Nick battled his entire life with NF-1 and fought for two long years with multiple sarcoma tumors. Friends and family will forever remember Nick for the caring, sensitive, sweet, and compassionate person that he was and will continue to admire his bravery and strong-willed personality in not giving up despite the challenges associated with his condition. Nick was born in Charleston, SC on February 16th, 1991 and lived in Summerville, Ladson, and Goose Creek throughout his life. He graduated from Stratford High School of Goose Creek, SC in 2011. Nick was an extroverted individual who gained strength and momentum in life when interacting and meeting new people. Growing up he was either playing outside with his family and friends or playing Xbox. Nick was drawn to pursue a degree in video game design since his creativity and imagination always led him to write up small scripts and stories that captured his ideas. Nicholas is survived by his parents, Sandra Thompson-Tessier (Gary Tessier), Vance, SC, David C. Finley, North Charleston, SC; Brother-Brandon Finley, North Charleston, SC; 3 step sisters and 1 step brother; grandparents, Nettie Finley, Nell Thompson Lehtonen (Richard Lehtonen), 7 uncles, 6 Aunts and many nieces, nephews, and numerous cousins around the world, other family and friends. Nicholas is preceded in death by his grandfathers, Benjamin J. Thompson, and John H. Finley. Nick touched the lives of many people with his smile and generosity, and maintained his trademark sense of humor all the way to the end.
